c3-init

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the initial setup of C3 architecture documentation for new projects, providing a ready-to-use directory structure and foundational documents. It allows developers to instantly establish a robust documentation framework, enabling them to focus on design rather than setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pre-flight Check: Verifies no existing .c3/ directory to prevent accidental overwrites.
• Creates Directory Structure: Generates the essential .c3/ and adr/ directories.
• Generates Default Documents: Creates a basic TOC.md and a templated README.md for the Context layer (c3-0).
• Optional Configuration: Offers to immediately invoke the c3-config skill to set up project-specific preferences.
• Guides Next Steps: Provides clear instructions on how to proceed with populating the newly created documentation.
• Use Case: Starting a brand new project, a developer uses c3-init to instantly create the necessary C3 documentation framework, allowing them to focus on design rather than the tedious manual creation of files and folders.
