Initialize Draft project context for Context-Driven Development — the single, scope-aware entry point (works at the repo root or inside any sub-module; no separate index command). Builds the root-first code-graph knowledge memory (draft/graph/, with a module→root link) and creates product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, tracks.md, architecture.md (brownfield), .ai-context.md (derived), and .ai-profile.md. Supports --graph-only (graph memory only, no markdown) and --module-only. Use when the…
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
# Draft Init Initialize a Draft project for Context-Driven Development. ## Red Flags - STOP if you're - Re-initializing a project that already has `draft/` without using `refresh` mode - Skipping brownfield analysis for an existing codebase - Rushing through product definition questions without probing for detail - Auto-generating tech-stack.md without verifying detected dependencies - Not presenting .ai-context.md for developer review before proceeding - Overwriting existing tracks.md (this destroys track history) - **Producing copy-paste module descriptions** — if 3+ modules share identical Responsibilities or description text, you have NOT analyzed the source files - **Writing sequence diagrams under 15 lines** of Mermaid code — shallow diagrams without alt/opt blocks, payloads, and error paths are useless - **Writing module deep-dives that ignore the graph or lack a workflow/state diagram** — the graph is ground truth; every significant module must have at least one synthesized diagram showing its primary flow or lifecycle. Prose volume without diagram fidelity is a failure. …

How to install
mdr add drafthq/draft/init@sha256:e7c41b1f8cd419f1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.53d9aec, 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.
