New-project checklist

Use this on every new engagement. The full customer surface is AGENTS.md + config.json, then deploy and test files if your runners are not the defaults.

1. Install: pipeline-kit init --ide cursor (or claude-code / github / none).
2. Paste the AGENTS.md routing table and a short product blurb. See Adapt AGENTS.md.
3. Edit .pipeline/config.json:
   • verify.rules for your folders (or leave [])
   • deploy.targets for your apps
   • intake.jira.enabled (false unless you use Jira)
4. Rewrite the local-deploy runbook and deploy-local.sh for your stack. See Adapt local deploy.
5. Skim .pipeline/docs/DOCUMENT-STANDARD.md before editing any other pack markdown.
6. Add features/ and .pipeline/state/ to .gitignore.
7. Open the repo root in the IDE. Confirm the run-workflow skill is visible.
8. Smoke test: ask “How does X work?” (expect ask) and “Add a small label change” (expect feature-development).

Optional later: tracker MCP, wiki pages after retro, knowledge, plugins, observability.
