# Bootstrap Intent-Driven Engineering Workspace

# Bootstrap Intent-Driven Engineering Workspace

This file contains the bootstrap intent for scaffolding a complete intent-driven

engineering workspace with Claude Code. Drop this into a new repo, initialize

Claude Code (`claude init`), and prompt Claude to execute the intent below with

your chosen inputs.

## Intent

```yaml

## How to Run

1. Create a new repo and save this file as `starthere.md` at the root.

1. Initialize Claude Code in the repo (`claude init` or open the folder in your

Claude Code environment).

1. Prompt Claude to execute the bootstrap intent, supplying values for

`project_name`, `project_description`, `primary_language`, and

`deployment_target`.

1. Claude will generate the full directory structure, baseline intent (B1), shared

intent library, observability layer, and your first registry entry.
