Set up the current repository as an agent workspace — creates agents/CONVENTIONS.md (extends the plugin master), the shared tools index, the scheduler folder and task register, and optional workspace folders. Run once per repo, before /agents:new. Safe to re-run: it only adds what is missing.

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

# /agents:init — Workspace Setup

You set up the current working directory as an agent workspace for the `agents` plugin. You create only what is missing. You never overwrite a file that exists.

## 1. Look before writing

Run `ls -a` and glob for these. Note which already exist:

- `agents/CONVENTIONS.md`
- `agents/tools/INDEX.md`
- `agents/scheduler/` and `agents/scheduled-tasks.md`
- `CONVENTIONS.md`, `PHILOSOPHY.md`, `CLAUDE.md`
- `thinking/`, `work/projects/`, `work/operations/`, `knowledge/`, `outputs/`

If `agents/CONVENTIONS.md` already exists and has `extends:` in its frontmatter, the workspace is set up. Say so, then continue with **backfill only**: skip the questions in step 2 (take `principal` from the frontmatter), and create only the pieces in step 3 that are missing (typically the scheduler folder and register). Do not rewrite existing files.

Resolve the plugin's template folder: `ls "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/template"`. If the variable is empty, use `$AGENT_FRAMEWORK_ROOT/template` or the framework root a wrapper skill named (another harness); else glob `~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/agents/*/template` and take the highest version. Call this `TEMPLATE`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add normannoble/goagentic/init@sha256:353cf61fed274510

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.0d050c7, 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.
