init
Use when the user invokes $spec-kit:init or /spec-kit:init, or asks to bootstrap .specify/ for streamlined spec-driven development.
What this skill does
# Spec Kit Init
This is a user-invoked Spec Kit workflow. Treat user text after the invocation as the workflow input.
## Plugin Root
Use the spec-kit plugin root when running bundled scripts. In Claude Code, `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` resolves to this plugin root. If that variable is unavailable, resolve the plugin root as the directory two levels above this `SKILL.md`.
Initialize `.specify/` in the current project for streamlined, brownfield-aware
spec-driven development.
## Steps
1. Inspect the current directory:
- Is it a git repo?
- Is the worktree dirty?
- Which package/tooling files and repo guidance files exist?
2. Create missing directories only:
```text
.specify/
├── memory/
│ ├── constitution.md
│ └── project-context.md # local-only, gitignored
└── specs/
```
3. If `.specify/memory/constitution.md` does not exist, create this placeholder:
```markdown
# Project Constitution
> Run `/spec-kit:constitution` to generate pragmatic project guardrails.
**Version**: 0.0.0 | **Ratified**: TODO | **Last Amended**: TODO
```
4. Create or refresh local-only `.specify/memory/project-context.md` by running
the bundled detector when available. The detector should also add the path to
`.gitignore` in git repositories:
```bash
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/detect-project-context.sh" --write
```
If unavailable, write a minimal context file manually from the inspection and
add `.specify/memory/project-context.md` to `.gitignore`.
5. Do not run `git init` unless the user explicitly asked for it. If this is not
a git repo, report that branch-based feature detection will require
`SPECIFY_FEATURE` or explicit feature selection.
6. Report:
- Files/directories created or already present
- Detected stack/tooling summary
- Whether git was left unchanged
- Next step: `/spec-kit:constitution <project context>`
