What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Set up concise, guidance-first Claude/Codex/Grok project context after inspecting the repository. Use on first setup, after cloning, or when the user runs /project-init.

Project initialization

Create the smallest useful project context without adding permission gates, blocking hooks, or mandatory process rules.

1. Inspect before writing

Read existing CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, README, manifests, scripts, and CI.
Detect the language, framework, build, test, lint, and development commands from repository evidence.
Preserve existing user guidance and unrelated configuration.
If the stack or desired workflow cannot be inferred safely, ask one focused question instead of inventing it.

2. Add concise shared context

Keep permanent guidance focused on facts useful in most sessions:

# Project name

## Purpose
[What this repository delivers]

## Stack and structure
- [Language/framework]
- [Important entry points]

## Commands
- dev: [verified command]
- test: [verified command]
- build: [verified command]
- lint: [verified command]

## Local conventions
- [Only repository-specific conventions supported by evidence]

Use the Director managed block in both CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md so all three CLIs can find .director-mode/GUIDANCE.md. Put detailed, conditional procedures in skills rather than expanding the permanent files.

3. Verify native assets

Check the selected CLI surfaces:

Claude: .claude/skills/ and .claude/agents/
Codex:  .agents/skills/ and .codex/agents/
Grok:   shared Claude-compatible skills and .grok/agents/
Relay:  .director-mode/bin/director-relay

Run scripts/verify-install.sh when available. Do not require every optional tool merely to declare setup complete.

4. Optional integrations

MCP servers, hooks, TDD, autonomous loops, and extra agents are choices, not defaults. Suggest one only when it materially helps the current repository and explain its effect. Install or register it only after the user requests it.

In particular, never register a Stop hook, deny rule, validator, security guard, or background tracker as part of ordinary project initialization.

5. Report the result

Summarize detected facts, files created or updated, validation actually run, and optional next steps. A useful default next step is director-mode or workflow; use session-relay when another CLI should take over.
