Bootstrap Review

Use this when a repo already has some bootstrap state and you want to audit it against the same canonical bootstrap contract without pretending missing work was completed.

This is not a separate bootstrap contract. It is the same contract from Bootstrap, run in review mode.

When review work touches GitHub bootstrap behavior or durable prerequisite capture, use these support docs directly:

Mode behavior​

  • init — create missing bootstrap state
  • update — repair/normalize existing bootstrap state
  • review — audit against the same contract, write findings, and do not claim missing work was completed

Review prompt​

Run VibeGov bootstrap in `review` mode.
Read and follow:
- https://vibegov.io/agent.txt
- https://vibegov.io/bootstrap.json
- https://vibegov.io/docs/bootstrap/

Use the same canonical bootstrap contract and pass gate as bootstrap init/update.
Do not fork the contract.
Do not claim missing work was completed.

Review the repo against the canonical bootstrap contract.
Write current reporting artifacts under `.governance/project/bootstrap/` and a historical run bundle under `.governance/project/bootstrap/history/<timestamp>/`.
Report:
- what already satisfies the contract
- what is missing or weak
- what is blocked
- what exact next fixes are required

Reporting shape​

Review mode should use the same reporting structure as init/update:

  • current reporting under .governance/project/bootstrap/
  • historical run bundles under .governance/project/bootstrap/history/<timestamp>/

Rule​

If a repo fails bootstrap review, the next remediation pass should use bootstrap update against the same canonical contract.
