Setup Aiengineering
Bootstrap a project's AI-engineering best practices in any repo — injects genericized agent-instruction policy blocks (mandatory verification protocol with lint/typecheck/test/coverage/review/docs-alignment gates, git policy, file organization, and an optional PRD gate) into AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, delegates doc systems to the setup-adrs, setup-changelog, and setup-user-scenarios skills, and scaffolds a worktree auto-bootstrap hook plus a detected .worktreeinclude. Stack-agnostic — detects build/test commands per repo (Node, Python, Go, Rust, or config/IaC) and degrades gracefully when none exist. Use when the user says "set up ai engineering", "scaffold best practices in this repo", "apply my engineering standards here", "bootstrap agent instructions", or runs /setup-aiengineering. Do NOT use to author a single ADR or changelog entry, to edit existing policy sections one-off, or to set up only one of the sub-systems (call that specific setup skill directly).

From the source SKILL.md
Replicate a reference project's AI-engineering setup into any other repo: agent instructions plus quality gates plus doc systems, in one pass. The skill assesses the target, lets the user pick which modules to apply, then injects policy blocks, delegates doc systems to the dedicated setup skills, and scaffolds the worktree bootstrap.
What this skill does
Setup Aiengineering is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the scaffolders sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/setup-aiengineering/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user says "set up ai engineering", "scaffold best practices in this repo", "apply my engineering standards here", "bootstrap agent instructions", or runs /setup-aiengineering. Do NOT use to author a single ADR or changelog entry, to edit existing policy sections one-off, or to set up only one of the sub-systems (call that specific setup skill directly).
Who uses this skill
The Setup Aiengineering Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 164,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Setup Aiengineering skill?
Use Setup Aiengineering when your Claude Code task falls under the Dev Tools category — specifically in the scaffolders area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Setup Aiengineering" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/tools/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Setup Aiengineering skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Setup Aiengineering is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Dev Tools category. Learn more at
