A command that creates a new adopter RFC from a standard template. An RFC, or request for comments, is a written proposal used to describe and discuss a planned technical change.

Use it to start a framework-adoption proposal from a slug, save it in the expected location, and optionally use a configured or explicitly supplied RFC directory.

It gives every proposal the same starting structure and keeps path, naming, and template handling consistent. The generated file can be placed in the repository's configured RFC directory.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00029	$0.01002
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00501
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00200
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00100

Security

Grade A, and why

rfc-init scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffold a new adopter RFC from the canonical framework-rfc.md template. Writes to <adopter-repo>/rfcs/<slug>.md by default; honours .ai-sdlc/adopter-authoring.yaml's rfc-scaffold.rfcDir override per RFC-0036 OQ-4, and respects an explicit --rfc-dir flag override.

Per RFC-0036 OQ-5 + OQ-12 (resolved 2026-05-16)

One template — framework-rfc.md. Variants (architecture / product-decision / retrospective) are a future Decision in the Catalog if adopter demand justifies the split. Cognitive load < flexibility for v1.
Dual surface. This slash command and the underlying ai-sdlc rfc init CLI ship together — both shell out to the same pipeline-cli/bin/cli-rfc.mjs init entry point, so there is one source of truth for slug validation, path resolution, and template rendering.

Phase scope (Phase 2 of RFC-0036)

✓ init <slug> CLI + slash command
✓ Single framework-rfc.md template
✓ Default path <adopter-repo>/rfcs/<slug>.md + adopter-authoring.yaml override
✓ Tutorial walkthrough (docs/tutorials/11-authoring-adopter-rfc.md)
✗ Decision Catalog cross-linking (Phase 9 / AISDLC-334 — already shipped via cli-rfc index)
✗ RFC variants (deferred — future Decision in the catalog)

Usage

node pipeline-cli/bin/cli-rfc.mjs init <slug> [--title <title>] [--author <name>] [--rfc-dir <path>] [--force] [--template <path>] [--format <text|json>]

$ARGUMENTS is the slug + any flags. Slug rules: lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, no leading/trailing hyphens, no path separators, max 80 chars.

ARGS="${ARGUMENTS:-}"
if [[ -z "$ARGS" ]]; then
  echo "Usage: /ai-sdlc rfc-init <slug> [--title <title>] [--author <name>] [--rfc-dir <path>] [--force]"
  exit 1
fi

# Pass the operator's args straight through. The CLI handles slug
# validation, conflict detection, and template materialisation.
node pipeline-cli/bin/cli-rfc.mjs init $ARGS

Output

Success (text mode): absolute destination path + resolved rfcDir, rfcDirSource, template, slug, title, createdAt, and a three-step "next steps" reminder.
Success (--format json): structured envelope with ok: true, the resolved fields above, plus created: true.
Failure: non-zero exit + a single stderr line explaining the blocker (invalid slug, existing destination without --force, missing template). The CLI does NOT partial-write — the file is either fully materialised or untouched.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
