Start with what’s there.
Read-only discovery finds existing AI files, including known gitignored locations.
PROJECT SETUP FOR CODING AGENTS
A private library for your Skills, MCP, Plugins and working principles. A focused kit for every project you build.
Local application · Open source / MIT · Your choice of AI

01 CHOOSE YOUR CONTEXT
LIBRARY ≠ ACTIVATIONA new project doesn’t need every tool you’ve ever saved. It needs the ones that belong here.
Expo / React Native
Saved is not loaded. Project choices stay focused. Native Plugin references stay native.
Understand your library02 SPEAK THE NATIVE FORMAT
ONE INTENT. SIX HARNESSES.Change the Harness. Rigshelf knows where the project files belong.
Your model is a separate choice. Native discovery and approval still apply.
.claude/skills/ .mcp.json CLAUDE.md Skills keep their supporting files. Guidance uses the native project format. MCP uses native configuration or a local bridge for documented compatibility gaps.
Read the exact contractsClaude Code selected. Example paths only; nothing is installed.
03 KEEP YOUR WAY OF BUILDING
Keep shared rules, stack conventions and project guidance at their own scopes. Reuse a Preset. Ask your AI to turn a rough note into a draft. Review what changes.
Your AI can help with the setupBe explicit about failure.
Reusable across your projectsStart with native interaction.
Only where the platform appliesPreserve the team’s guidance.
Reviewed, scoped and deliberate04 THE MOMENT BEFORE APPLY
The important part is knowing what will happen.
Read-only discovery finds existing AI files, including known gitignored locations.
Inspect exact file diffs, content findings and compatibility gaps before Apply.
Plans retain receipts and recovery actions. Later edits are protected by preconditions.
05 YOUR WORK, YOUR MACHINES
Use your installed Claude Code/Codex CLI, local Ollama, a local/HTTPS API connection or a connected Agent session. Generation is explicit. Proposals stay reviewable.
Connect a ProviderCompare the changes, then Sync to an existing private destination. GitHub gets one batch commit and PR. S3-compatible storage gets an immutable archive and conditional pointer.
Review the backup flowBEFORE YOUR NEXT PROJECT
No. Library is storage. Only a reviewed project kit is written to that project, and the Harness controls when it discovers the files.
No. Rigshelf tracks native references, versions and evidence. Installation, Hooks and approval semantics stay with the native Harness.
Discovery is read-only. Apply requires a reviewed plan, preserves unrelated configuration and authored guidance, and rejects stale changes. Recovery does not silently overwrite later edits.
The workbench, CLI and MCP server, installed with Homebrew, run with bunx, or downloaded as an executable for macOS, Linux and Windows. English and Turkish are available.
