init-project

To scaffold a Claude Code project, run the guided setup wizard which validates directories, auto-detects existing configurations, generates governance policies, and provisions custom SME agents. This orchestrates end-to-end environment setup for downstream task execution workflows.

Setting up project governance requires generating a comprehensive constitution and policy artifacts. The setup process auto-detects existing project.yaml files and writes a complete configuration with scaffolded docs, ensuring scalable directory structures for AI-assisted development.

Yes, monorepo configurations are supported alongside single-app setups. The scaffolding process creates scalable directory structures for .claude/ and .design/, optionally enabling a design system with starter templates while provisioning custom subject matter expert agents.

Yes, the project setup wizard auto-detects pre-existing project.yaml configurations. It validates the presence of .parade/ and .beads/ directories before writing a complete project.yaml file with scaffolded documentation and governance policies.

You can bootstrap quickly using the npx parade-init command to create initial scaffolding and skills, or start the full guided setup by running the init-project command directly within your project context for comprehensive environment configuration.

Automated project scaffolding should be avoided if you need granular manual control over directory structures or if your project requires highly customized governance policies that deviate significantly from standard constitution generation and design system templates.
