To set up base knowledge for a new project, place the base_knowledge/ directory in your project root and run the initialization process to copy common rules, standards, and structures from your framework. This bootstraps your project's foundation by deriving coding standards directly from your actual source code.

Project base knowledge initialization establishes a standardized foundation by creating directories for common rules, standards, and structures. You need this process when starting a new project or when your existing base knowledge layer needs to be established, updated, or aligned with your current source code.

Yes, you can derive coding standards from existing source code during the project setup process. The initialization customizes standards based on your current project needs and updates the requirement standards file to ensure your documentation accurately reflects your actual codebase.

If the base_knowledge directory is not present in your project root, the initialization process halts immediately. You must place the base_knowledge/ directory from your provided framework into the project root before running the setup to ensure the common rules and standards can be properly validated and copied.

Yes, project initialization works for existing codebases when the base knowledge layer needs to be updated or aligned with current code. It validates prerequisites and guides you through customizing the architecture documentation, ensuring your standards directory accurately reflects any changes made to your source code.

The best way to standardize architecture documentation is to bootstrap a centralized base knowledge system containing common rules, standards, and structures. By deriving these standards from the actual source code, you ensure all teams follow a consistent project foundation and coding quality baseline.
