thoughts_init

Initialize Thoughts System

Initialize the thoughts system for the current repository.

Process

Step 1: Diagnostic Checks

Run these checks and collect results:

1. ~/thoughts exists: test -d "$HOME/thoughts"
2. ~/thoughts is git repo: test -d "$HOME/thoughts/.git"
3. ~/thoughts/global structure exists: test -d "$HOME/thoughts/global"
4. Scripts exist: test -x "$HOME/thoughts/bin/thoughts-sync"
5. Scripts in PATH: command -v thoughts-sync >/dev/null 2>&1
6. Current dir is git repo: test -d ".git"
7. ./thoughts/shared symlinked correctly: test -L "./thoughts/shared" && readlink "./thoughts/shared" | grep -q "thoughts/repos/"

Step 2: Report or Fix

If all checks pass:

Thoughts system ready. RPI workflow commands will now work correctly.

- ~/thoughts: OK (with global/ structure)
- Scripts: OK (in PATH)
- Repository: OK (thoughts/shared → ~/thoughts/repos/{repo}/shared)

If any check fails: Build todo list of what needs fixing, present to user, wait for authorization.

Step 3: Execute Fixes (after authorization)

If ~/thoughts missing:

mkdir -p "$HOME/thoughts/bin"
mkdir -p "$HOME/thoughts/global/$(whoami)"
mkdir -p "$HOME/thoughts/global/shared"
mkdir -p "$HOME/thoughts/repos"
git -C "$HOME/thoughts" init
cp "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/thoughts-bin/"* "$HOME/thoughts/bin/"
chmod +x "$HOME/thoughts/bin/"*

If PATH not configured:

RC_FILE="$HOME/.bashrc"
[[ "$SHELL" == *"zsh"* ]] && RC_FILE="$HOME/.zshrc"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/thoughts/bin:$PATH"' >> "$RC_FILE"

Tell user to run source ~/.zshrc or restart terminal.

If current repo not initialized:

"$HOME/thoughts/bin/thoughts-init-repo"

Step 4: Verify and Report

After fixes, re-run checks and report final status.

Important

• Never make changes without user authorization
• If current directory is not a git repo, report error and stop
