jaan-init

Activate jaan-to for the current project.

Context Files

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bootstrap.sh - Bootstrap script that creates directories and seeds files
• $JAAN_LEARN_DIR/jaan-to:jaan-init.learn.md - Past lessons (loaded in Pre-Execution)
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/extending/language-protocol.md - Language resolution protocol

Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

No arguments required. This skill initializes jaan-to in the current project directory.

---

Pre-Execution Protocol

MANDATORY — Read and execute ALL steps in: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/extending/pre-execution-protocol.md
Skill name: jaan-init
Execute: Step 0 (Init Guard) → A (Load Lessons) → B (Resolve Template) → C (Offer Template Seeding)

Language Settings

Read and apply language protocol: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/extending/language-protocol.md
Override field for this skill: language_jaan-init

PHASE 1: Analysis (Read-Only)

Step 1: Check Current State

Check if jaan-to/ directory already exists in the project root.

If jaan-to/ exists:
Tell the user: "jaan-to is already initialized for this project. Bootstrap runs automatically on each session."
Stop here — do not proceed.

If jaan-to/ does NOT exist:
Continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Explain What Will Be Created

Show the user what initialization will create:

jaan-to/
  config/settings.yaml    — Project configuration
  context/                 — Project context files (tech.md, team.md, etc.)
  templates/               — Custom template overrides (initially empty; read from plugin at runtime)
  outputs/                 — Generated outputs from skills
  learn/                   — Project-specific lessons (initially empty; created via /jaan-to:learn-add)
  docs/                    — Reference docs (STYLE.md, create-skill.md)

Also mention: jaan-to/ will be added to .gitignore.

---

HARD STOP - Human Review Gate

Ask the user:

Initialize jaan-to for this project?

This will create the jaan-to/ directory with config, context, templates,
outputs, learn, and docs subdirectories.

Proceed? [y/n]

Do NOT proceed without explicit approval.

---

PHASE 2: Generation (Write Phase)

Step 3: Run Bootstrap

Execute the bootstrap script to create directories and seed all files:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bootstrap.sh

Note: The bootstrap script creates the jaan-to/ directory and all subdirectories internally. It handles:

1. Creating all subdirectories (outputs, learn, context, templates, config, docs)
2. Copying seed context files (tech.md, team.md, integrations.md, etc.)
3. Copying reference docs
4. Initializing settings.yaml
5. Adding jaan-to/ to .gitignore

Templates and learn files are loaded from the plugin at runtime (lazy loading).
Customize templates by copying them to jaan-to/templates/.
Add project lessons via /jaan-to:learn-add.

Step 4: Report Result

Show the user the bootstrap output and summarize:

jaan-to initialized successfully.

Next steps:
- Edit jaan-to/context/tech.md with your project's tech stack
- Run /jaan-to:detect-pack for a full project analysis
- Run any skill: /jaan-to:pm-prd-write "feature name"

Step 5: Capture Feedback

Ask the user:

Have feedback to improve future initializations?
Use: /jaan-to:learn-add "jaan-init" "lesson"

---

Skill Alignment

• Two-phase workflow with HARD STOP for human approval
• Single source of truth (no duplication)
• Plugin-internal automation
• Maintains human control over changes

Definition of Done

• jaan-to/ directory exists with subdirectories: outputs/, learn/, context/, templates/, config/, docs/
• jaan-to/config/settings.yaml exists
• Context seed files copied to jaan-to/context/
• .gitignore contains jaan-to/ entry
• User informed of next steps
• User has approved final result

---

Error Handling

Permission Error

"Could not create jaan-to/ directory. Check file permissions for the project root."

Bootstrap Script Missing

"Bootstrap script not found at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bootstrap.sh. Plugin may be corrupted — try reinstalling."

---

Trust Rules

1. NEVER create directories without user confirmation
2. ALWAYS show what will be created before proceeding
3. ALWAYS check if already initialized before acting
