initialize-sdlc-directory

To bootstrap an SDLC directory structure, run the initialization command in your project root to create the .sdlc/ folders and populate them with default templates for software lifecycle artifacts.

Yes, you can safely set up project scaffolding without overwriting existing files, as the bootstrap process preserves current configurations and only copies templates to missing destination paths.

The .sdlc/ workspace is a directory structure used during project setup to establish organized folders for storing context, knowledge, and templates required for software development lifecycle artifacts.

Yes, the SDLC bootstrap process works on partially adopted projects by safely creating any missing subdirectories and copying default templates while strictly preserving your existing files and configurations.

Yes, you need write access to the project root to initialize project directory templates, along with access to the canonical templates located relative to the skill file path.

A limitation when copying canonical SDLC templates is that the process only populates a destination if it does not already exist, meaning pre-existing template files will not be updated or replaced.
