Implement GTT with Prompts

Different ways to implement GTT-Method in a project by prompting your AI agent.

You can implement GTT-Method in a project just by talking to your AI agent or ADE (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, Kiro and others). Give it the Bootstrap repository and one of the prompts below.

GTT-Method Bootstrap repository: https://github.com/GTT-Community/gtt-bootstrap

1. The short way

The minimum the agent needs: the instruction and the URL.

Implement GTT-Method in this project.
This is the GitHub URL: https://github.com/GTT-Community/gtt-bootstrap

2. With an initial design document

Recommended. Keep a design document in the project root (vision, objective, main functionality, architecture, stack, constraints and known decisions) and ask:

Clone/incorporate GTT-Method Bootstrap into this project from https://github.com/GTT-Community/gtt-bootstrap
Inspect the project and use my initial design document
as the source for performing the GTT-Method Bootstrap.
Do not invent decisions; if information is missing, ask me.

3. Without a design document

If you have no document yet, let the agent build the context with you through conversation.

Implement GTT-Method in this project from https://github.com/GTT-Community/gtt-bootstrap
I do not have a design document yet.
Ask me what you need to know about the vision, architecture, stack and constraints,
and do not invent decisions on my behalf.

4. In a project that already has code

Have the agent read what exists before proposing the governed context.

Incorporate GTT-Method Bootstrap into this existing project from https://github.com/GTT-Community/gtt-bootstrap
Inspect the current code first.
Do not overwrite, move or delete any existing file without asking me.
Show me the context you propose so I can confirm it before it is frozen.

After the prompt

  • Review what the agent produced: vision, architecture, stack, principles, constraints and glossary.
  • Correct anything that is wrong and confirm it before freezing the context.
  • The full flow is described in the Quick User Manual.

Prefer the command line?

GTT CLI downloads and operates GTT Bootstrap for you.
