Init

Scaffold LLM-first documentation structure, templates, and docops.json for a project.

Intent

• Create the standard documentation directory hierarchy and seed it with templates.
• Establish docops.json config as the single source of docRoot for subsequent docops skills.

Policy

• context_preflight recommended but failure does NOT block execution; if preflight fails, warn and proceed without context.
• Never overwrite existing files — templates go only where nothing exists.
• If .claude/docops.json exists, use its docRoot; otherwise require docRoot argument.
• Use templates from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/<language>/.
• Write back docops.json after scaffold is complete (mandatory write-back).

Routing

1. Run context_preflight with flow='generic'; if it fails, log a warning and continue without context (do not block).

2. Check for existing .claude/docops.json; if present, read docRoot from it. Otherwise, use the argument (fail if neither exists).

3. Create the following hierarchy, skipping any directory or file that already exists:

   {docRoot}/
     index.md              # Entry point
     glossary.md           # Terms and definitions
     project-conveyor.md   # Source of truth
     specs/                # .spec.md files
     reference/            # .ref.md files
       code-evidence/      # Auto-extracted code
       conveyor-gaps.md    # Drift tracking
     howto/                # .howto.md files
     runbooks/             # .runbook.md files
     decisions/            # ADR-YYYYMMDD-slug.md files
   

   Naming conventions: <name>.spec.md, <name>.ref.md, <name>.howto.md, <name>.runbook.md, ADR-YYYYMMDD-slug.md.

4. Write .claude/docops.json with resolved docRoot (create or update).

5. Emit outcome via context_record_outcome.

NEVER

• Overwrite existing files — templates go only where nothing exists
• Invent behavior — write "Not found by evidence" for missing data
• Skip docops.json — check existing config before building structure
