Bootstrap Polyglot Monorepo
This skill redirects to the canonical reference in mise-tasks.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Starting a new polyglot monorepo from scratch
- Setting up Python + Rust + Bun/TypeScript project structure
- Need autonomous 9-phase bootstrap workflow (includes release setup)
- Want Pants + mise integration for affected detection
Stack
| Tool | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| mise | Runtime versions (Python, Node, Rust) + environment variables |
| Pants | Build orchestration + native affected detection + dependency inference |
Quick Commands
# After bootstrap, use these Pants commands:
pants --changed-since=origin/main test # Test affected
pants --changed-since=origin/main lint # Lint affected
pants tailor # Generate BUILD files
pants list :: # List all targetsRelated Skills

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pants not found | Not installed | Install via brew install pantsbuild/tap/pants |
| mise not loading | Shell hook not configured | Configure mise shell hook in ~/.zshrc |
| BUILD files not generated | Missing pants tailor | Run pants tailor to generate BUILD files |
| Affected detection empty | No base branch set | Ensure origin/main exists and is up to date |
| Python version mismatch | mise vs Pants conflict | Align Python version in mise.toml and pants.toml |
| Rust targets not found | Pants Rust backend missing | Enable Rust backend in pants.toml |
| Node/Bun not detected | Not in mise tools | Add to mise.toml: node = "latest" or bun |
| Dependency inference fails | Missing imports in source | Ensure explicit imports, run pants tailor again |
Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, check before closing:
- Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
- Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
- Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.
Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
