r-init SKILL.md skillA

r-init from rfxn/rdf is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rfxn/rdf/r-init@git:20261024.1352e8e

Pins git:20261024.1352e8e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use to initialize RDF governance on a new or existing repository.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Governance initialization for any codebase. Scans the project, ingests
existing convention files, detects languages and tooling, and generates
supplementary governance under `.rdf/governance/`.

`$ARGUMENTS` is the target path (optional, defaults to `.` for the
current working directory). Can be a subdirectory for monorepo scoping.

### Options

- `--force` — delete existing `.rdf/governance/` and regenerate
  from scratch. Without this flag, /rdf:r-init refuses to run when
  governance already exists (directs to `/rdf:r-refresh` instead).

## Progress Tracking

See [reference/progress-tracking.md](../reference/progress-tracking.md).
Create all 5 tasks in ONE batch before starting.

Tasks: `Ingest convention files` · `Scan codebase` · `Detect tooling` ·
`Generate governance` · `Validate accuracy`

Fallback checklist (Gemini CLI, Codex):
`- [ ] Ingest conventions` · `- [ ] Scan codebase` · `- [ ] Detect tooling` ·
`- [ ] Generate governance` · `- [ ] Validate`

---

## Prerequisites

- The governance index schema must exist at `schemas/governance-index.md`
  in the RDF installation
- The target path must be a directory (warn if no `.git/` is present)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rfxn/rdf/r-init@sha256:1d4455758e3f6f44

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.1352e8e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
