Frequently Asked Questions about swain-init

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md for project onboarding?▼

Migrating CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md involves moving existing project instructions and setting up the `@AGENTS.md` include pattern. This ensures project documentation is correctly formatted for cross-tool compatibility during the one-time swain onboarding process.

What is the best way to set up a new project with the swain agent framework?▼

Setting up a new project with the swain agent framework is automated through a one-time onboarding process. This setup migrates configuration files, verifies dependencies like the vendored tk script, and optionally applies swain governance rules to AGENTS.md.

Do I need uv installed to configure swain governance rules?▼

Verifying uv installation is part of the swain onboarding dependency checks. While governance rules are optionally added to AGENTS.md, the setup process assists in checking for and installing necessary tools like uv to ensure the environment is ready.

How does swain project setup handle cross-tool compatibility for agent configurations?▼

Swain project setup handles cross-tool compatibility by migrating CLAUDE.md content into AGENTS.md and establishing the `@AGENTS.md` include pattern. This ensures project instructions are correctly formatted for multiple agent frameworks.

Why does my swain onboarding fail when verifying the vendored tk script?▼

Swain onboarding verifies the vendored tk script for task tracking during setup. If verification fails, the onboarding process assists in checking dependencies and resolving the issue to complete the project configuration.

Can I add swain routing rules to an existing AGENTS.md file?▼

Yes, you can add swain routing and governance rules to an existing AGENTS.md file. The onboarding process optionally appends these rules to ensure your project follows swain conventions and governance standards.
