init

A command that sets up Canonical-Driven Development, a method of keeping key project documents aligned with the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Initializing a project with canonical documentation, changelogs, drift tracking, agent instructions, and selectable compliance profiles.
Why use it?
It creates the documents and compliance settings needed to track architecture, changes, and drift.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2d 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.

What it actually says

DocGuard Init

Initialize CDD in your project. Creates the docs-canonical/ directory, required files (CHANGELOG.md, DRIFT-LOG.md, AGENTS.md), and optionally sets a compliance profile.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Steps

  1. Run DocGuard init on the current project:
npx --yes docguard-cli@latest init $ARGUMENTS
  1. Choose a compliance profile:

    • starter — Minimal CDD (architecture + changelog only)
    • standard — Full CDD (all 5 canonical docs)
    • enterprise — Strict CDD (all docs, all validators, freshness enforced)
  2. After init, run speckit.docguard.generate to populate the canonical docs with real data from your codebase.

Flags

  • --profile <name> — Set compliance profile (starter, standard, enterprise)
  • --dir <path> — Run on a different directory
Changes

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.
