auto-init

Automating project initialization for research papers involves detecting new CoPaper projects and setting up the appropriate workflow phase automatically. This skill inspects the project state and begins the next phase work without manual configuration.

Workflow phase detection in CoPaper management inspects the current state of a paper project to determine its progress. It identifies the appropriate workflow phase and automatically begins the corresponding next phase work for the researcher.

Yes, you can initialize Git automatically when setting up a new paper project. The skill optionally initializes Git in the project directory if it detects the directory is not already a Git repository, ensuring version control is integrated from the start.

No, you do not need an existing Git repository to use automated CoPaper setup. The initialization process checks for Git and can optionally initialize a new repository directly in your project directory if one is not already present.

The best way to start a new CoPaper paper project is to run an automated initialization skill. It detects the new project, configures the appropriate workflow phase, and handles optional Git setup, allowing you to begin writing immediately.

Project initialization may not detect the correct workflow phase if the current project state is unclear or improperly configured. The skill relies on inspecting existing project files and state to determine the appropriate phase and begin the next work.
