rust-node-bootstrap

by onsager-aiBackend & APIs

Scaffold a new Rust+Node.js hybrid monorepo with pnpm workspaces, Cargo workspace, CI workflows, and publish infrastructure. Use when: (1) starting a new project from scratch, (2) adding missing infrastructure to an existing repo, (3) figuring out the canonical project structure for a Rust+Node.js tool. Triggers on "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", "set up project", or "init" in a Rust+Node.js context.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-node-bootstrap
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads rust-node-bootstrap automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Rust+Node.js Bootstrap

Scaffold a Rust+Node.js hybrid project with all infrastructure in one pass.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when any of the following are true:

  • User says "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", "set up from scratch"
  • Repo has Cargo.toml or package.json but is missing the other
  • Missing .github/workflows/, scripts/, or publish.config.ts
  • Incrementally adding forge infrastructure to an existing project

Decision Tree

Starting from scratch?
  YES → Full scaffold (all steps in order below)
  NO  → Incremental setup ↓

Has package.json?       → NO: Create root package.json + pnpm-workspace.yaml
Has Cargo.toml?         → NO: Create Cargo workspace
Has .github/workflows/? → NO: Generate from rust-node-ci skill templates
Has scripts/?           → NO: Generate from rust-npm-publish skill templates
Has publish.config.ts?  → NO: Create from rust-npm-publish skill examples
Has specs/?             → NO: Initialize LeanSpec

└── Cargo.toml               ← Rust workspace manifest

File Generation Order

Order matters — later files depend on earlier ones:

  1. Root configs — package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, Cargo.toml, turbo.json Use templates/bootstrap/.
  2. Publish config — publish.config.ts (drives script + workflow generation)
  3. Main package wrapper — bin.js + package.json from rust-npm-publish skill templates, fill in scope/binary name/platforms
  4. Scripts — Copy from rust-npm-publish skill templates
  5. Workflows — Copy from rust-node-ci skill templates, customize matrix
  6. LeanSpec — Initialize .lean-spec/config.json and specs/
  7. AGENTS.md — Project-level agent instructions listing installed skills

Verify

pnpm install && pnpm build && cargo check --workspace && pnpm tsx scripts/sync-versions.ts

See references/checklist.md for the full post-bootstrap checklist.

Install Companion Skills

After scaffolding, install skills for ongoing development:

# CI/CD workflows and composite actions
npx skills add -g onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-node-ci -a claude-code -y

# npm publishing pipeline and versioning
npx skills add -g onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-npm-publish -a claude-code -y

Templates

DirectoryContents
templates/bootstrap/Root configs: package.json, Cargo.toml, pnpm-workspace.yaml, turbo.json, publish.config.ts

Setup & Activation

npx skills add -g onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-node-bootstrap -a claude-code -y

Auto-activates when: user says "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", or "init" in a Rust+Node.js context.

FAQ

What does the rust-node-bootstrap skill do?

Scaffold a new Rust+Node.js hybrid monorepo with pnpm workspaces, Cargo workspace, CI workflows, and publish infrastructure. Use when: (1) starting a new project from scratch, (2) adding missing infrastructure to an existing repo, (3) figuring out the canonical project structure for a Rust+Node.js tool. Triggers on "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", "set up project", or "init" in a Rust+Node.js context.

How do I install rust-node-bootstrap?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-node-bootstrap in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/rust-node-bootstrap/ (personal) or .claude/skills/rust-node-bootstrap/ (project).

Which AI agents can use rust-node-bootstrap?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is rust-node-bootstrap safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Who maintains rust-node-bootstrap?

It is published by onsager-ai in onsager-ai/dev-skills. It has 60 recorded installs.

codegraph

onsager-ai/dev-skills

Pre-indexed code knowledge graph (MCP, SQLite + tree-sitter) for faster, lower-token exploration of brownfield codebases. Use when starting work on a repo larger than 500 files or when the task involves cross-file traversal — "where is X used", "what calls Y", "what breaks if I change Z", "trace flow from A to B", "explain this subsystem". Skip for single-file edits or sessions shorter than the cold-start cost. Triggers include "codegraph", "code graph", "index this repo", "where is X defined", "find callers of", "callees of", "blast radius of changing X", "explore this codebase". Cuts the grep + Read loops needed to orient, via O(1) SQLite lookups and FTS5 search over 8 MCP tools — but it's an unsound tree-sitter approximation, so grep stays the completeness backstop for renames/exhaustive callers.

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

embedded-captions

heygen-com/hyperframes

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
