SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap the .adlc/ directory structure for a new repository or subdirectory, enabling standardized setup for spec-driven development and onboard workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create the .adlc/ scaffold with ETHOS, context, specs, bugs, knowledge areas, and templates to jumpstart ADLC work.
Provide idempotent initialization that reports existing structure and can fill gaps without overwriting user changes.
Automate copying canonical ETHOS and template files into the project, and update ignore rules and retrieval taxonomy.

Quick Start

Run /init in a new repository to create the .adlc/ scaffold and copy templates, ETHOS, and example context.

FAQPage Schema

How do I initialize a spec-driven development scaffold in a new repository?▼

Initializing a spec-driven scaffold creates a ready-to-use .adlc/ directory containing ETHOS, context, specs, bugs, knowledge areas, and templates. This standardizes your repository structure for onboard workflows and spec-driven development.

What is the .adlc directory structure used for?▼

The .adlc directory structure provides a standardized scaffold for spec-driven development, organizing ETHOS, context, specs, bugs, knowledge areas, and templates to jumpstart project onboarding and development workflows.

Can I run project scaffolding initialization on an existing repository without overwriting my files?▼

Yes, the initialization process is idempotent. It safely reports existing .adlc/ structures and fills missing gaps without overwriting your existing files, preserving user changes while completing the scaffold setup.

What does ADLC workflow initialization include besides creating directories?▼

ADLC workflow initialization includes automating the copying of canonical ETHOS and template files into your project, updating gitignore rules, and configuring retrieval taxonomy to enable seamless spec-driven development.

How do I bootstrap ETHOS context and templates for a new subdirectory project?▼

To bootstrap ETHOS context and templates for a subdirectory, run the initialization command targeting that path. It orchestrates directory creation, file copying, and configuration updates to establish the full .adlc/ scaffold.
