What problem does it solve?

Initialize a lightweight Feature Design (FD) tracking system in any project by creating the core structure and conventions needed to start design work quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates the docs/features directory with a feature index, template, and archive
  • Provides project-local slash commands under .claude/commands for FD management
  • Sets up CLAUDE.md conventions and an index-driven workflow for Active/Completed/Backlog items
  • Use Case: bootstrapping FD tracking in a new project or re-initializing FD workflows in an existing one

Quick Start

Run /fd-init:init to bootstrap the FD tracking system in your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a feature design tracking system in my project?

To set up a feature design tracking system, run the /fd-init:init command to create the docs/features directory, an active feature index, a template, and CLAUDE.md conventions for managing your workflow.

What files and directories are needed to start tracking feature designs?

Starting feature design tracking requires a docs/features directory containing a feature index, a template file, an archive, and project-local slash commands under .claude/commands for managing the workflow.

Can I use this to bootstrap FD tracking in an existing project?

Yes, you can bootstrap FD tracking in an existing project by running the init command, which creates the necessary directory structure, conventions, and project-local slash commands without disrupting current files.

How does the feature index manage active, completed, and backlog items?

The feature index manages active, completed, and backlog items through an index-driven workflow configured in CLAUDE.md, organizing feature design statuses within the docs/features directory structure.

Do I need any dependencies or external packages to initialize FD tracking?

No dependencies or external packages are required to initialize FD tracking; the setup creates all necessary files, conventions, and local slash commands directly in your current project.

What is the best way to create local slash commands for feature design management?

The best way to create local slash commands for feature design management is to run the fd-init command, which automatically generates the required command files under the .claude/commands directory.
