init is agent-read markdown (skill) from chan4lk/specclaw: Initialize specclaw in this project. Creates the .specclaw/ directory, generates config.yaml from the template, and sets up the project dashboard. Run once per project before any other specclaw command..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# specclaw init
Initialize SpecClaw in the current project.
1. Run `specclaw-init . [project_name] [project_description]`. This creates `.specclaw/` with `config.yaml` (from template), `STATUS.md`, and `changes/archive/`.
2. Ask the user for project name and description if not supplied.
3. Suggest adding `.specclaw/` to git tracking.
If `.specclaw/` already exists, the script exits with an error — do not overwrite.
Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
