init SKILL.md skillA

init from v-songbird/foreman is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add v-songbird/foreman/init@git:20261009.c7818f3

Pins git:20261009.c7818f3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Bootstraps a project's ROADMAP.jsonl and .foreman/config.json from the user's goals and the repository, or appends to an existing roadmap. Asks only what the request leaves open — what the project is, its near-term goals, and whether an inferred draft looks right — then writes and commits only the files it changes, leaving every optional behavior at its built-in default. Checkpoint policy is never asked here; it is asked the first time it could actually matter. Use for Foreman setup or an…

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

# foreman:init — bootstrap a project roadmap

Foreman runs in Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity. Every step applies to every host unless it names one. Read [the shared runtime](../foreman/runtime.md) first: it covers plugin paths, JSON payloads, questions and authorization for every host.

Creates `ROADMAP.jsonl` and `.foreman/config.json` at the project root. Both
are committed to git — they're a shared project artifact, not personal
state — unless the project git-ignores them to keep a private roadmap; then
init writes both and commits neither (step 4 of the write phase). All
reads/writes go through
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/roadmap.js` (see "Write phase" below) — it
enforces the write invariants (id computation, parse-before/after-write)
mechanically, so you don't have to. Run it as
`roadmap.js <subcommand> --help` (for example `roadmap.js add --help`) for
that subcommand's shape; read the **Fields** section of [the schema](../../roadmap-schema.md)
(`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/roadmap-schema.md`) if you need field semantics
beyond what's obvious from the names (`why`/`what`/`depends_on`/`planned_touches`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add v-songbird/foreman/init@sha256:8afb82bdea232437

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.c7818f3, 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.
