SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Projects using the 10x change-tracking workflow need a consistent /context directory structure before skills like /10x-new or /10x-archive can operate, and manually creating the folders and their README conventions is repetitive and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Directory Scaffolding: Creates context/changes/, context/archive/, and context/foundation/ directories with canonical README.md files describing each convention. - Idempotent Execution: Each of the six artifacts (3 directories + 3 READMEs) is independently create-if-absent, so re-running never overwrites existing content. - Status Reporting: Prints a six-line summary marking each artifact as created or present, plus guidance on which skill to run next. - Use Case: After cloning a fresh project, run this skill once to set up the full change-tracking skeleton before creating your first change with /10x-new. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to initialize the context directory structure for the 10x workflow in this project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up 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 status summary showing which of the six artifacts were created or already present.

Is /10x-init required before running /10x-new?

No, /10x-init is not a precondition for other skills. /10x-new refuses if context/changes/ is missing, and /10x-archive lazily creates context/archive/ on demand, so /10x-init exists only for users who prefer scaffolding the skeleton up-front.

What happens if I run /10x-init twice?

Nothing is overwritten. The skill is idempotent: each directory and README is independently create-if-absent, so a second run on a fully scaffolded project is a no-op that only prints the status block.

Does /10x-init create lessons.md or contract-surfaces.md?

No. Those files are owned end-to-end by /10x-lesson, /10x-contract, and /10x-impl-review, which self-bootstrap them with canonical headers on first use. /10x-init only scaffolds the three directories and their READMEs.

What belongs in context/foundation versus context/changes?

Foundation holds cross-change living documents like product requirements or tech-stack docs that outlive any single change. Change-scoped artifacts such as plans, research, and reviews belong under context/changes/<change-id>/ and are archived when complete.
