Bootstrap
Orchestrates the correct setup sequence for repos that depend on Vercel-linked resources like Neon databases, Upstash Redis, and auth providers. It enforces a strict order: link the Vercel project first, pull environment variables, verify all required keys are present, then run migrations and start dev. The skill prefers Vercel's managed integration flow over provider CLIs, chains to specialized skills when it detects sunset packages like @vercel/postgres or auth libraries, and includes guards to prevent you from running db:push before your connection string exists. Honest take: this saves you from the classic mistake of seeding a database that isn't linked yet, then spending twenty minutes debugging why nothing works.

Project Bootstrap Orchestrator
Execute bootstrap in strict order. Do not run migrations or development server until project linking and environment verification are complete.
Rules
- Do not run
db:push,db:migrate,db:seed, ordevuntil Vercel linking is complete and env keys are verified. - Prefer Vercel-managed provisioning (
vercel integration ...) for shared resources. - Use provider CLIs only as fallback when Vercel integration flow is unavailable.
- Never echo secret values in terminal output, logs, or summaries.
Preflight
- Confirm Vercel CLI is installed and authenticated.
vercel --version
vercel whoami
- Confirm repo linkage by checking
.vercel/project.json. - If not linked, inspect available teams/projects before asking the user to choose:
vercel teams ls
vercel projects ls --scope <team>
vercel link --yes --scope <team> --project <project>
- Find the env template in priority order:
.env.example,.env.sample,.env.template. - Create local env file if missing:
cp .env.example .env.local
Resource Setup: Postgres
