Initializing Project

Framework detection identifies your project's primary language, dependencies, and technology stack automatically during initialization. Quaestor scans your codebase and configuration files to determine the framework in use, eliminating manual configuration and ensuring accurate architecture analysis from the start.

You can initialize Quaestor in both new and existing projects. The framework detection and documentation generation work on established codebases, applying language-specific standards and orchestrating multi-agent analysis to bootstrap intelligent setup for projects at any stage.

Initialization generates four starter documents: AGENT.md for agent orchestration details, ARCHITECTURE.md describing project structure, CLAUDE.md for Claude-specific guidance, and project scaffolding tailored to your detected framework and language.

Multiple specialized agents—researchers, architects, security analysts, and others—run in parallel after framework detection to analyze your project comprehensively. This parallel orchestration accelerates discovery and produces coordinated documentation and architecture insights simultaneously.

No. Language-specific standards and quality gates load automatically from language files during initialization. The Skill detects your language and applies appropriate configuration, dependency assessment rules, and validation commands without manual setup.

The initialization workflow requires access to your project directory. It scans existing code, configuration files, and dependencies to auto-detect language and framework. No additional setup or prerequisite tools are needed to start the discovery process.
