SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Projects using the 10x change-tracking workflow need a consistent /context directory structure before they can create changes, archive completed work, or maintain foundation documents. Manually creating these directories and their README conventions is repetitive and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Idempotent scaffolding: Creates context/changes/, context/archive/, and context/foundation/ directories only if absent, never overwriting existing content. - Canonical README generation: Writes a standardized README.md into each directory explaining its purpose, update conventions, and anti-patterns. - Status summary: Prints a six-line created/present report so you know exactly what was scaffolded. - Use Case: When starting a new project that will use the 10x workflow, run this once to set up the full context skeleton before creating your first change with /10x-new. ## Quick Start Initialize the context directory structure for this project so I can start tracking changes and foundation docs.

Frequently Asked Questions about 10x-init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize the context directory for the 10x workflow?▼

Run the 10x-init skill, which creates context/changes/, context/archive/, and context/foundation/ along with a canonical README.md in each. It prints a six-line summary showing which artifacts were created and which already existed.

Is 10x-init required before using 10x-new or 10x-archive?▼

No, it is not a precondition. The 10x-new skill refuses if context/changes/ is missing, and 10x-archive lazily creates context/archive/ on demand. 10x-init exists for users who prefer to scaffold the skeleton up-front.

Will running 10x-init overwrite my existing context files?▼

No. The skill is idempotent and each of the six artifacts (three directories plus three READMEs) is independently create-if-absent. Re-running it on a fully scaffolded project is a no-op that only prints the status summary.

What goes in the context foundation directory?▼

The foundation directory holds cross-change living documents such as product requirements, tech-stack, roadmap, or glossary files. These docs are edited in place as they evolve and are owned by the skills that write them, not scaffolded by 10x-init.

Why are lessons.md and contract-surfaces.md not created by 10x-init?▼

Those files are owned end-to-end by the 10x-lesson, 10x-contract, and 10x-impl-review skills, which self-bootstrap them with canonical headers on first use. 10x-init only scaffolds the three directories and their READMEs.
