Bootstrap

Copy this as message 1 in any coding agent.

Bootstrap this repo with VibeGov.
Read and follow:
- https://governance-foundation.github.io/vibegov.io/agent.txt
- https://governance-foundation.github.io/vibegov.io/bootstrap.json

Before writing any product code:
1. Create `.governance/rules/`, `.governance/project/`, and `.governance/specs/`.
2. Install the active VibeGov rule set (`GOV-01` through `GOV-08`) into `.governance/rules/`.
3. Create project intent from `PROJECT_TEMPLATE.md`.
4. Create the first feature/change spec from `SPEC_TEMPLATE.md`.
5. Create or normalize a spec-mapped backlog.
6. Detect any existing provider-native rules directory in the repo. If one exists, mirror the active `.governance/rules/*.mdc` files into it and report the target path. If none exists, keep `.governance/` canonical and do not invent a mirror path.
7. Report the active governance sources you are using.

Then stop before product-code implementation.

• .governance/project/ exists with project intent created from the template
• .governance/specs/ exists with the first feature/change spec created from the template
• backlog maps to spec scope
• active governance sources were reported
• no product code has been written yet

If any fail, rerun the same prompt.
