Initialize a second brain directory structure in the current working directory.
The CLAUDE_PLUGIN_PATH provided by the hook is this plugin's root. The scaffold templates are at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_PATH}/scaffold/.
Procedure
Phase 1: Scaffold
- Read the entire scaffold directory at
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_PATH}/scaffold/ - Recreate the same directory structure and files in CWD
- Replace
{{OWNER_NAME}}with user's name (ask if not known) - Replace
{{DATE}}with today's date (YYYY-MM-DD) - Skip existing files — never overwrite
Do NOT hardcode the directory tree. Read the scaffold directory to determine what to create.
Phase 2: Reconciliation
After creating the structure, scan CWD for existing markdown assets:
- Glob
*.mdfiles and any existing directories not created by the scaffold - Read the Structure table in the newly created
AGENTS.mdto understand folder purposes - Suggest migration mappings (e.g., existing
notes/→resources/) - Move only user-approved items. Preserve originals.
Phase 3: Hollow Check
Warn about unfilled placeholders:
- Files still containing
{{OWNER_NAME}} - Empty folders with only README.md
Rules
- Never overwrite existing files.
- Always ask for
{{OWNER_NAME}}if not provided via arguments. - The scaffold is the single source of truth for structure — do not invent folders.
