init

To set up CLAUDE.md and rules.md governance files, run the initialization process to automatically generate project-specific configurations. It performs pre-flight checks for existing files and guides you through optional setup steps to establish required development standards.

Yes, you can configure LSP integration and statusline indicators during project scaffolding. The initialization process offers these as optional tooling setup steps, allowing you to establish language server protocols and status indicators alongside governance files.

The best way to initialize project governance safely is using a process that performs pre-flight checks for existing files. It verifies previous initialization using a state file and detects potential conflicts before writing CLAUDE.md and rules.md configurations.

Bulwark governance initialization supports both project-level and user-level scopes. This scope management feature ensures governance configurations apply correctly whether onboarding to an existing project or establishing global user development standards.

The initialization state file verifies previous setup by tracking completed configuration steps. It prevents conflicts by performing pre-flight checks against this state file before modifying existing CLAUDE.md, rules.md, or optional tooling configurations like Justfile scaffolding.

Initializing project scaffolding generates CLAUDE.md and rules.md governance files, with options for creating a Justfile. It also configures statusline indicators and LSP integration to establish a complete development tooling framework.
