Create repository

standards/repository-lifecycle.md

1. Reuse facts already settled in the conversation or supplied specification. Collect only missing decisions before running anything. Repository name, one-line purpose, visibility, and license must be explicit. Establish enough applicability facts to prove every selectable ecosystem profile matches or cannot match. Infer the GitHub owner, local destination, and applicability facts only from unambiguous context; collect an unspecified ecosystem before invocation and ask only for unproven facts. This step is complete only when every selectable profile fully matches or conflicts with a settled fact. Express the license as an SPDX identifier or key from the selected standards release's pinned license catalog.
2. Settle the new repository's canonical-validation declaration: one executable, its ordered literal arguments, and an optional normalized repository-relative working directory (default

   .

   ). Do not encode shell syntax, quoting, pipelines, redirects, glob expansion, or environment expansion in these fields. Run the bundled adapter with the declaration and settled facts. Pass an exact release when the user selected one; omit

   --version

   to select the latest stable release. Repeat

   --fact NAME=VALUE

   for applicability facts, including repeating the same name for each value of a multi-value fact. Repeat

   --profile NAME

   for every explicitly selected ecosystem profile.
   sh

   python3 .agents/skills/create-repository/scripts/create \
     --name NAME \
     --purpose 'ONE LINE' \
     --visibility private \
     --license MIT \
     --owner OWNER \
     --destination /ABSOLUTE/PATH \
     --validation-executable scripts/validate \
     [--validation-argument='LITERAL ARGUMENT' ...] \
     [--validation-working-directory RELATIVE/DIRECTORY] \
     [--fact NAME=VALUE ...] [--profile NAME ...] [--version VERSION]

3. Surface the goal's assessment, retained-state report, and recovery action. Completion means an uncommitted baseline on unborn

   main

   , an empty GitHub repository configured as

   origin

   , and first publication still required. Use the exact canonical phrase

   first publication

   in the final report and leave that separate operation for the user to invoke.
