coldstart: one page after git clone
The first hour with a new repo is archaeology: open package.json , skim the Makefile, hunt for .env.example , grep workflows for secrets. , check Compose for ports. I already built focused tools for each of those questions. What I still wanted was one command that prints the whole map. coldstart coldstart is that overview — offline, no accounts, agent-friendly JSON. go install github.com/SybilGambleyyu/coldstart@latest coldstart coldstart -md >> ONBOARDING.md coldstart -json It reports: Runtimes — Node engines, Go version, Cargo edition, Python requires, .nvmrc , .tool-versions Run — preferred npm scripts, Makefile ## targets, just, Taskfile Ports — Compose, env *_PORT , script --port Env keys — from .env.example CI secrets/vars — from GitHub Actions workflows (builtins like GITHUB_TOKEN omitted) Overview vs drill-down Need Tool One-pager coldstart Full task map howrun Every port + live check projports Secrets vs gh secret list needsecrets Lockfile PR summary lockbrief Typical first hour: coldstart # then only if you need depth: howrun -f test projports -unique -check needsecrets -check Small binaries, MIT, no SaaS. If it saves a README scroll, it is working.
