presale-service-bootstrap

What This Skill Does

The presale-service-bootstrap skill provides a structured, automated framework for initiating new presale automation projects within the OpenClaw ecosystem. Rather than jumping straight into code, this skill enforces a 'Design-First' methodology, ensuring every project is backed by comprehensive documentation, clear implementation plans, and a rigorous verification matrix. The skill orchestrates the creation of a standard directory structure (docs/, config/, src/, tests/, prompts/, scripts/) and mandates the production of canonical context documents and readiness checklists. By automating the foundational setup, it minimizes technical debt, clarifies scope through non-goal definition, and ensures that the agent is fully aligned with project requirements before a single line of production code is written.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dtsiomo/presale-service-bootstrap

Ensure that you have appropriate write permissions for the target project directory, as the skill will generate multiple files and folder structures upon execution.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for:

• Initializing new presale automation services from scratch to ensure architectural consistency.
• Rebuilding or refactoring existing project contexts that have become fragmented.
• Preparing reusable artifacts for one-pass execution tasks, such as automated lead scoring or data enrichment.
• Setting up governance-heavy projects where verification matrices and acceptance scenarios are required for audit compliance.

Example Prompts

1. "Initialize a new project structure for the 'CloudMigration-Outreach' service using presale-service-bootstrap and generate the gap-check report."
2. "I need to rebuild the context for the LeadGen automation module; please run the bootstrap skill and update the readiness checklist."
3. "Start a new presale service for the Q3 pipeline analysis; generate the implementation plan and the verification matrix using the standard templates."

Tips & Limitations

• Strict Workflow: The skill enforces a policy where no code implementation should begin without a completed readiness checklist and verification matrix. Failure to adhere to these gates will prevent the agent from proceeding to coding tasks.
• Tool Usage: Always utilize the tools/new-presale-service.ps1 script first if your system environment supports it, as it handles the filesystem initialization more efficiently than manual prompting.
• Documentation Quality: The effectiveness of this skill is highly dependent on the input provided during the definition phase. Ensure references/workflow.md and references/artifacts.md are accurately configured in your local environment for best results.
• Limitations: This skill is focused exclusively on presale services; it is not intended for general-purpose application development or non-presale logic flows.
