init

Automating Anvil project setup is done by running the /anvil:init command, which detects your tech stack and automatically generates a tailored docs/anvil/config.yml file. This interactive process configures components and test commands to ensure repeatable, policy-driven setup.

Stack detection for Anvil configuration is the process of reading common build and config files in your repository to identify your tech stack. The tool uses this information to guide interactive prompts and generate a tailored docs/anvil/config.yml file with component definitions and defaults.

You can reconfigure an existing project with Anvil setup automation by running the initialization command. It applies to both new projects and existing ones, guiding your team through standardization by detecting the current stack and writing an updated, ready-to-use configuration file.

Generating a tailored Anvil config file requires having common build or config files present in your project directory for stack detection. The interactive setup reads these files to apply component definitions, test commands, and defaults without needing external dependencies.

Limitations of interactive Anvil stack detection involve its reliance on recognizing common build and config files. If your project uses non-standard or custom configurations, the automated generation of docs/anvil/config.yml may require manual adjustments to properly define components and test commands.
