SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initializes a project with canonical AIDD workspace scaffolding, enabling rapid bootstrap of core templates and a ready-to-use project structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bootstraps the canonical AIDD workspace by copying core templates into your project (AGENTS.md, docs/shared/stage-lexicon.md, docs/index/schema.json, docs/prd/template.md, docs/plan/template.md, docs/research/template.md, docs/spec/template.spec.yaml, docs/tasklist/template.md, docs/loops/template.loop-pack.md, reports/context/template.context-pack.md).
  • Seeds essential templates and establishes the workspace layout (including reports/loops) and preconfigures settings when build tools are detected.
  • Exposes a runtime entrypoint to bootstrap and validate the workspace, with optional flags to force overwrites and detect build tools.

Quick Start

Run python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/aidd-init/runtime/init.py to bootstrap the workspace templates into the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap an AIDD workspace into an existing project?▼

To bootstrap an AIDD workspace, run the Python init script to copy canonical templates and establish the ready-to-use directory layout, preconfiguring settings when build tools are detected.

What templates are included when scaffolding a new AIDD workspace?▼

Scaffolding an AIDD workspace seeds core templates including AGENTS.md, stage-lexicon.md, schema.json, and templates for prd, plan, research, spec, tasklist, loops, and context-pack.

Does the AIDD workspace initialization overwrite existing project files?▼

Initialization does not automatically overwrite existing files, but the runtime entrypoint exposes optional flags to force overwrites when applying AIDD templates to the current project.

Can I detect and configure build tools during AIDD workspace setup?▼

Yes, the AIDD workspace setup includes optional build-tool detection that automatically preconfigures .claude/settings.json based on the tools found in your current project.

When do I need to scaffold a canonical AIDD workspace structure?▼

You need to scaffold a canonical AIDD workspace when starting new projects that require ready-to-use templates for PRDs, plans, research, specs, and tasklists to streamline setup.
