Init — Project Setup

Instructions

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps — the sequence matters.

1–9. Run the scaffold script

Execute the init script from the project root:

chmod +x ./scripts/init.sh && ./scripts/init.sh

This script handles all scaffolding in one step:

1. Initializes the git repository
2. Creates .gitignore
3. Creates the full directory structure under project/
4. Creates project/PROJECT_SUMMARY.md with placeholder content
5. Creates project/configs/workflow.json with shared constants
6. Creates project/configs/test-config.json stub
7. Creates project/data/baselines.json
8. Creates project/logs/events.json
9. Stages and commits all files with the message init: scaffold project structure and workflow config

If the script fails, check that you are in the project root and that git is available.

10. Prompt next step

Inform the user that setup is complete and suggest running /init-with-template to define project goals and epics.
