FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a project for context-driven development?▼

To initialize a project for context-driven development, run the flow-setup skill in your current directory to automatically generate essential configuration files like `product.md`, `tech-stack.md`, and `beads.json`, along with required context directories.

Can I set up context files for an existing codebase?▼

Yes, you can set up context files for an existing codebase. The initialization process handles both greenfield and brownfield projects by detecting existing configurations and gathering context through interactive prompts.

What configuration files are needed to start context-driven development?▼

Essential configuration files for context-driven development include `product.md` for project overview, `tech-stack.md` for technology details, and `beads.json` for integrating persistent memory through the Beads tool.

Does project initialization support Gitignore and hook installation?▼

Yes, project initialization supports optional Gitignore configuration and hook installation to ensure the newly created context directories and specification files integrate cleanly with your version control workflow.

How does Beads integration work during project setup?▼

Beads integration works during project setup by creating a `beads.json` configuration file that enables persistent memory capabilities, allowing AI tools to maintain and reference project context across development sessions.

What is the best way to configure knowledge base directories for a new software project?▼

The best way to configure knowledge base directories is through automated project initialization, which establishes the required folder structures for specification files and context management alongside your core configuration files.
