SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Onboarding new projects into Mpi-Kanban or migrating existing MPI setups so teams can coordinate on a single, live task board with a coherent project profile and knowledge index.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialize or adopt MPI-Kanban for a fresh project, migrate legacy Markdown boards, and bootstrap project knowledge and interop state.
  • Create, migrate, or update the JSON task board, profile, and knowledge index while enforcing hard-gate safeguards that prevent overwriting existing state without explicit approval.
  • Read shared references from the mpi-lib sibling skill as needed during setup and backlog import.

Quick Start

Ask to initialize MPI on a new project or adopt an existing MPI-Kanban setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about mpi-init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a JSON Kanban board for a new project?▼

Migrating a legacy Markdown board to a JSON Kanban format involves reading your existing Markdown tasks and bootstrapping a new JSON task board. A hard-gate policy enforces safeguards to prevent overwriting your existing project state without explicit approval during the migration.

Can I import an existing backlog into MPI-Kanban?▼

MPI-Kanban enforces a hard-gate policy that prevents overwriting your existing project state without explicit approval. This safeguard protects your current JSON task board, project profile, and knowledge index during onboarding, migration, or backlog import processes.

What is MPI-Kanban project state adoption?▼

MPI-Kanban project state adoption is the process of connecting to an existing MPI-Kanban setup rather than starting fresh. It updates your interop state, adoption maps, and knowledge index while strictly preserving your current task board data.

Do I need the mpi-lib sibling skill to set up MPI-Kanban?▼

Yes, you need the mpi-lib sibling skill to set up MPI-Kanban. The initialization process reads required shared references from mpi-lib during fresh project onboarding, legacy board migration, and backlog import workflows to ensure interoperability.
