SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initialize Hive for a project. Detects brownfield vs greenfield automatically.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Smart kickoff: auto-detects brownfield vs greenfield projects and configures the initial planning pipeline.
  • Metrics opt-in workflow: guides users to opt in to metrics and persists the choice to hive/hive.config.yaml.
  • Kickoff protocol adherence: follows the predefined protocol for reading and writing configuration using the kickoff protocol's patterns.

Quick Start

Ask Hive to initialize a project and automatically detect brownfield versus greenfield, then apply the kickoff workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a Hive project for an existing codebase?

To initialize Hive for a brownfield project, the kickoff workflow auto-detects your existing project type and configures the initial planning pipeline automatically. It applies the appropriate discovery protocol without manual configuration.

What is the difference between greenfield and brownfield project discovery?

Greenfield project discovery initializes Hive for new projects with no prior code, while brownfield discovery configures the workflow for existing codebases. The kickoff process distinguishes between them to apply the correct initialization pipeline.

How do I opt in to metrics collection during Hive project initialization?

During project initialization, the metrics opt-in workflow guides you through the choice and persists your decision to hive/hive.config.yaml. The metrics.enabled flag is written using the kickoff protocol's configuration write pattern.

Can I configure the kickoff workflow for both new and existing projects?

Yes, the kickoff workflow supports both new greenfield and existing brownfield projects. It automatically detects the project type and applies the corresponding initialization and discovery pipeline accordingly.

Where are Hive initialization configuration decisions persisted?

Hive initialization decisions are persisted to hive/hive.config.yaml. Specifically, metrics opt-in choices are saved to the metrics.enabled setting using the kickoff protocol's predefined write pattern for configuration files.
