Thread Bootstrap

Use this skill to create a new thread when a goal should not be attached to an existing thread.

Core Rule

Allocate a stable

thread-id

once, initialize from

threads/_template/

, and stop before doing any goal work.

Workflow

Confirm
```
threads/_template/
```
already exists.
If the template root is missing, stop and hand off to
```
thread-repo-bootstrap
```
.
Decide whether the goal belongs in an existing thread.
If new thread is required, generate
```
<topic-slug>-tNN
```
.
Create or checkout
```
thread/<thread-id>
```
.

Copy

threads/_template/memory.md

and

threads/_template/interrupt.md

.

Fill only the minimum bootstrap fields.
Write the first stop point into
```
interrupt.md
```
.

Rules

Use
```
THREAD_BOOTSTRAP_ID_STYLE=slug-tNN
```
by default.
Use
```
THREAD_BOOTSTRAP_AUTO_CHECKOUT=true
```
to decide whether to switch branches automatically.

Use

THREAD_BOOTSTRAP_TEMPLATE_ROOT=threads/_template

when set; otherwise use the repo default.

Repo bootstrap is a hard prerequisite; do not invent template files ad hoc during thread bootstrap.
Never rename a thread after creation.
Never add proposal or execution content beyond bootstrap state.
