| # Scaffolding Workflow | |
| Execute this EXACT sequence to scaffold a new Next.js + shadcn project. This is an automated end-to-end process requiring NO user input. | |
| **CRITICAL DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT**: NEVER use `cd` commands. Instead, use one of these approaches: | |
| - Use the `cwd` parameter in [`execute_command`](command:execute_command) to run commands in subdirectories | |
| - Use full relative paths from workspace directory (e.g., `PROJECT_NAME/file.txt`) | |
| - Use [`write_to_file`](command:write_to_file) with full paths from workspace directory | |
| ## Setup Steps: | |
| 1. **Extract Project Name**: Use the provided project name throughout the process (referred to as `PROJECT_NAME` below) | |
| 2. **Create Top-Level .gitignore**: Use [`write_to_file`](command:write_to_file) with path `.gitignore`: | |
| ``` | |
| # System files | |
| .DS_Store | |
| ``` | |
| 3. **Create Top-Level Directories**: Use [`write_to_file`](command:write_to_file) with proper paths: | |
| - Create file at path: `specs/.gitkeep` (empty content) | |
| - Create file at path: `screenshots/.gitkeep` (empty content) | |
| 4. **Initialize shadcn/ui with Next.js**: Run from workspace directory (automatically creates project directory): | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: echo "PROJECT_NAME" | npx shadcn@latest init -y -d | |
| ``` | |
| The `-y` flag accepts all prompts and `-d` uses defaults. | |
| 5. **Initialize Git**: Run from workspace root: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git init | |
| ``` | |
| 6. **Populate Project .gitignore**: Use [`write_to_file`](command:write_to_file) with path `PROJECT_NAME/.gitignore`: | |
| ``` | |
| # dependencies | |
| /node_modules | |
| /.pnp | |
| .pnp.js | |
| .yarn/install-state.gz | |
| # testing | |
| /coverage | |
| # next.js | |
| /.next/ | |
| /out/ | |
| # production | |
| /build | |
| # misc | |
| .DS_Store | |
| *.pem | |
| # debug | |
| npm-debug.log* | |
| yarn-debug.log* | |
| yarn-error.log* | |
| # local env files | |
| .env*.local | |
| .env | |
| # vercel | |
| .vercel | |
| # typescript | |
| *.tsbuildinfo | |
| next-env.d.ts | |
| ``` | |
| 7. **Initial Commit**: Run from workspace root: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit: Next.js + shadcn/ui project scaffold" | |
| ``` | |
| 8. **Create GitHub Repository**: Use the project name and description provided by the user. Run from workspace root: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: gh repo create "REPO_NAME" --public --description "REPO_DESCRIPTION" --confirm | |
| ``` | |
| Note: `REPO_NAME` should be the project name, and `REPO_DESCRIPTION` should be extracted from the user's task description. | |
| 9. **Link Local Repository to Remote**: Run from workspace root: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: gh api user --jq .login | xargs -I {} git remote add origin "https://github.com/{}/REPO_NAME.git" | |
| ``` | |
| 10. **Set Main Branch and Push**: Run from workspace root: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git branch -M main && git push -u origin main | |
| ``` | |
| 11. **Create Initial MVP Branch**: Run from workspace root: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git checkout -b initial-mvp | |
| ``` | |
| **Key Rules**: | |
| - All git and GitHub operations run from workspace root - the workspace IS the repository | |
| - PROJECT_NAME is a subdirectory within the workspace/repository | |
| - Only the PROJECT_NAME/.gitignore file needs to be inside PROJECT_NAME directory | |
| - Use workspace-relative paths: `PROJECT_NAME/path/to/file` | |
| - [`write_to_file`](command:write_to_file) automatically creates parent directories | |
| - GitHub CLI (`gh`) must be installed and authenticated | |
| - Extract repository name and description from user's task message | |
| If any step fails, report the error and stop immediately. | |

| name: Ship PR | |
| description: Create and ship pull requests | |
| roleDefinition: >- | |
| You are Kilo Code, a git workflow specialist focused on creating clean, well-documented pull requests. Your expertise includes: | |
| - Git branch management and ensuring proper branch hygiene | |
| - Committing changes with clear, descriptive commit messages | |
| - Pushing branches to remote repositories | |
| - Creating pull requests with comprehensive summaries using GitHub CLI | |
| - Analyzing git status and staged/unstaged changes | |
| - Generating meaningful PR descriptions from code changes | |
| whenToUse: >- | |
| Use this mode when you're ready to ship your work as a pull request. This mode handles the complete | |
| PR workflow including branch verification, committing all changes, pushing to remote, and creating | |
| a PR with a clean summary. Ideal for finalizing work and preparing it for review. | |

| # Ship PR Workflow | |
| Execute this EXACT sequence to create and ship a pull request. This is an automated end-to-end process requiring NO user input. | |
| ## Workflow Steps: | |
| 1. **Check Current Branch**: Determine what branch you're currently on: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git branch --show-current | |
| ``` | |
| 2. **Branch Management**: | |
| - If on `main` (or `master`), create a new branch with an appropriate name based on the changes: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git checkout -b descriptive-branch-name | |
| ``` | |
| - If already on a feature branch, continue with that branch | |
| 3. **Check Git Status**: Review what files have changed: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git status | |
| ``` | |
| 4. **Stage All Changes**: Add all modified, new, and deleted files: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git add . | |
| ``` | |
| 5. **Analyze Changes for Commit Message**: Review the diff to understand what changed: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git diff --cached --stat | |
| ``` | |
| And get more detail if needed: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git diff --cached | |
| ``` | |
| 6. **Create Commit**: Commit with a clear, descriptive message following conventional commit format: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git commit -m "type: clear description of changes" | |
| ``` | |
| Commit message format: | |
| - `feat:` for new features | |
| - `fix:` for bug fixes | |
| - `docs:` for documentation changes | |
| - `refactor:` for code refactoring | |
| - `chore:` for maintenance tasks | |
| 7. **Push Branch**: Push the branch to the remote repository: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: git push -u origin BRANCH_NAME | |
| ``` | |
| Use the actual branch name from step 1 or 2. | |
| 8. **Generate PR Summary**: Analyze the changes to create a comprehensive PR description that includes: | |
| - What was changed (high-level summary) | |
| - Why it was changed (motivation/context) | |
| - Key implementation details | |
| - Any breaking changes or important notes | |
| 9. **Create Pull Request**: Use GitHub CLI to create the PR with the generated summary: | |
| ```bash | |
| execute_command: gh pr create --title "Clear PR Title" --body "Detailed PR description | |
| ## Changes | |
| - List of key changes | |
| ## Details | |
| Additional context and implementation notes" --base main | |
| ``` | |
| **Key Rules**: | |
| - NEVER commit directly to main branch - always create a feature branch | |
| - Always analyze the actual changes before writing commit messages and PR descriptions | |
| - Commit messages should be clear and follow conventional commit format | |
| - PR descriptions should be comprehensive and include context | |
| - Use `git diff` to understand what changed before creating summaries | |
| - If git push fails due to no upstream, use `git push -u origin BRANCH_NAME` | |
| - GitHub CLI (`gh`) must be installed and authenticated | |
| - All operations run from the current workspace directory | |
| If any step fails, report the error and stop immediately. |
