gpc Bootstrap Workspace

Overview

Use this skill to build a local working tree from live Play Console state before making changes.

Workflow

1. Start with the top-level bootstrap flow.
   Use gpc bootstrap --package-name com.example.app --dir ./play --write-project-config.
2. Use appinit export when you need more control or a GPP-style layout.
   Use gpc appinit export --package-name com.example.app --dir ./store --layout gpp.
3. Preview local-vs-live changes before syncing back.
   Use gpc diff listing --package-name com.example.app --dir ./play/listing.
4. Keep .gpc.yaml as the project-local default source for package, profile, output, track, and locale.

Notes

• Prefer the gpc layout for round-trip work inside this ecosystem.
• Use the exported workspace as the input for listing sync, changelog sync, and workflow manifests.
