Initialize Dev Methodology

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. init vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Scaffold the documentation-driven development methodology into the current project.

Process

Step 1: Check Existing Setup

Check if the methodology is already initialized:

ls docs/memory/requirements.md 2>/dev/null && echo "EXISTS" || echo "NOT_FOUND"
ls CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null && echo "EXISTS" || echo "NOT_FOUND"

If files already exist, ask the user if they want to overwrite or skip existing files.

Step 2: Gather Project Information

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the project name.

Otherwise, ask the user for:

• Project name (e.g., "My App")
• Project description (one-line)
• Repository URL (e.g., https://github.com/org/repo)
• Backend URL (default: http://localhost:8000)
• Frontend URL (default: http://localhost:3000)

Step 3: Create Directory Structure

mkdir -p docs/memory/feature-flows
mkdir -p docs/reports
mkdir -p docs/security-reports
mkdir -p testing/phases

Step 4: Scaffold CLAUDE.md

Read the CLAUDE.md template from the plugin:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/templates/CLAUDE.md.template

Replace all placeholders with the user's values:

• {{PROJECT_NAME}} -> project name
• {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} -> description
• {{REPO_URL}} -> repository URL
• {{BACKEND_URL}} -> backend URL
• {{FRONTEND_URL}} -> frontend URL

Write to CLAUDE.md in the project root.

Step 5: Scaffold Memory Files

Copy each template from the plugin, removing the .template extension:

Source (in plugin)	Destination
reference/templates/requirements.md.template	docs/memory/requirements.md
reference/templates/architecture.md.template	docs/memory/architecture.md
reference/templates/roadmap.md.template	docs/memory/roadmap.md
reference/templates/changelog.md.template	docs/memory/changelog.md
reference/templates/feature-flows.md.template	docs/memory/feature-flows.md
reference/templates/feature-flows/_example-feature.md	docs/memory/feature-flows/_example-feature.md
