init-rpm

Scaffolding project documentation infrastructure initializes the rpm context by detecting project state and creating the docs/rpm directory structure. It generates context.md, past/, present/, future/, and reviews/ folders to establish ready-to-use tracking surfaces.

Rpm context is a project management structure tracking past, present, and future work states. You need to bootstrap it during initial project setup or reinitialization to create the required documentation scaffolding and enable session hooks.

Initializing rpm scaffolding creates a CLAUDE.md file if one is missing in the project directory. This ensures that session hooks and workflow automation can activate immediately without manual file creation.

You can reinitialize rpm context for an existing project by running the initialization command again. The process detects the current project state and applies scaffolding to ensure all required tracking files and documentation surfaces are present.

The best way to set up project management scaffolding with session hooks is to run a dedicated initialization command that detects project state, creates the docs/rpm infrastructure, and ensures CLAUDE.md exists for hook activation.

Session hooks fail to activate when the CLAUDE.md file or docs/rpm infrastructure is missing. Running the rpm initialization process creates these required files and ensures hooks can activate immediately without configuration errors.
