What problem does it solve?

Initialize a lightweight Feature Design (FD) tracking system in any project by creating the core structure and conventions needed to start design work quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates the docs/features directory with a feature index, template, and archive
  • Provides project-local slash commands under .claude/commands for FD management
  • Sets up CLAUDE.md conventions and an index-driven workflow for Active/Completed/Backlog items
  • Use Case: bootstrapping FD tracking in a new project or re-initializing FD workflows in an existing one

Quick Start

Run /fd-init:init to bootstrap the FD tracking system in your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a feature design tracking system in my project?▼

To set up a feature design tracking system, run the /fd-init:init command to create the docs/features directory, an active feature index, a template, and CLAUDE.md conventions for managing your workflow.

What files and directories are needed to start tracking feature designs?▼

Starting feature design tracking requires a docs/features directory containing a feature index, a template file, an archive, and project-local slash commands under .claude/commands for managing the workflow.

Can I use this to bootstrap FD tracking in an existing project?▼

Yes, you can bootstrap FD tracking in an existing project by running the init command, which creates the necessary directory structure, conventions, and project-local slash commands without disrupting current files.

How does the feature index manage active, completed, and backlog items?▼

The feature index manages active, completed, and backlog items through an index-driven workflow configured in CLAUDE.md, organizing feature design statuses within the docs/features directory structure.

Do I need any dependencies or external packages to initialize FD tracking?▼

No dependencies or external packages are required to initialize FD tracking; the setup creates all necessary files, conventions, and local slash commands directly in your current project.

What is the best way to create local slash commands for feature design management?▼

The best way to create local slash commands for feature design management is to run the fd-init command, which automatically generates the required command files under the .claude/commands directory.
