init

Manually initialize the research context for sigint.

Arguments:

• --full - Load all sigint-related context (not just current session)
• --topic - Load context for a specific topic

Process:

1. If --topic specified: Load only context related to that topic from ./reports/[topic_slug]/.

2. If --full specified: Load comprehensive sigint context from all topics. May use more context window but provides full history.

3. Load configuration (Config Resolution Protocol):

   Apply the Config Resolution Protocol:

   1. Read protocols/CONFIG-RESOLUTION.md and follow all steps.
   2. Apply with topic_slug = null (init operates at project level, not topic level).
   3. Result: config and project_config are now available.

   If ./sigint.config.json does not exist, create it using jq (per Structured Data Protocol):

   jq -n '{
     version: "2.0",
     defaults: {
       report_format: "markdown",
       audiences: ["technical"]
     },
     research: {
       maxDimensions: 5,
       dimensionTimeout: 300,
       defaultPriorities: ["competitive", "sizing", "trends"]
     },
     topics: {}
   }' > ./sigint.config.json
   jq -e -f schemas/sigint-config.jq ./sigint.config.json > /dev/null
   

   Legacy config detection: After config resolution, check for ./.sigint.config.json (v1.0). If found, display:

   Legacy config detected: {found file(s)}
   Run /sigint:migrate to convert to sigint.config.json v2.0 and preserve all settings.
   

   Continue initialization regardless.

4. Display loaded context:

   Research Context Loaded
   ───────────────────────
   Research Sessions: [count]
   Active Session: [topic or "none"]
   
   Configuration (sigint.config.json v2.0):
   - Default Repo: [config.default_repo or "not set"]
   - Report Format: [config.report_format]
   - Audiences: [config.audiences]
   - Topics configured: [count of keys in project_config.topics, or 0]
   

5. Suggest next action:

   • If active session: suggest /sigint:status
   • If no session: suggest /sigint:start <topic>
   • If stale session: suggest /sigint:update

Note: This command supplements the SessionStart hook which provides basic awareness. Use this command to manually reload full research context mid-session or after configuration changes.

Output:

• Confirmation of context loaded
• Configuration status
• Suggested next action

Example usage:

/sigint:init
/sigint:init --full
/sigint:init --topic "AI assistants"
