init-pipeline

To set up a subagent pipeline, run the initialization process in your project root to generate the .claude structure, PIPELINE_CONFIG.md, and checkpoint scaffolding for chain verification.

Subagent pipeline scaffolding is the directory structure and configuration files needed to enable pipeline execution and monitoring. You need it when starting a new project to bootstrap subagent automation.

A Git repository is not strictly required but highly recommended. The initialization validates the Git state, warns if it is not a repo, and records an initial chain-start-commit for robust chain verification.

Pipeline setup generates a PIPELINE_CONFIG.md file with environment and command detections, and creates a .claude directory containing checkpoints, progress, alerts, and tmp subdirectories.

Yes, you can initialize the pipeline from your current Git repository. The system detects the project root automatically and establishes the necessary checkpoint scaffolding from that location.

A chain-start-commit is recorded during initialization to enable robust pipeline execution and chain verification. It captures the initial commit state to track progress accurately throughout the pipeline.
