Use ONLY when the user asks for /archflow-init or "archflow init". Set up Archflow in a NEW, empty project — creates .archflow/ and starts at Phase 1.

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.

# /archflow-init — Initialize Archflow in a Project

> **Before you start:** run `/archflow-doctor` to see what is installed and what is
> missing. It reports only — it never installs anything — and it names the exact command
> for each gap.

Lightweight command for setting up Archflow in a new or existing project.

## Usage
```
/archflow-init              → Initialize Archflow in the current project
```

## Prerequisites
- Must be run from the project's root directory

---

## Flow

### Step 0: Initialize Git (MANDATORY)

Before creating any Archflow files:

1. Check if git is already initialized:
   ```bash
   git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null
   ```

2. If NOT initialized, ask user:
   "Initialize git repository? [Yes / No]"
   - If Yes: `git init`
   - If No: WARN "Archflow strongly recommends git. Proceeding without it."

3. After `.archflow/` files are created (end of Step 3), make the initial commit:
   ```bash
   git add .archflow/
   git commit -m "chore: initialize archflow (Phase 1)"
   ```

---

### Step 1: Check If Already Initialized

Check if `.archflow/current-phase.yaml` exists in the project root.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add azidan/archflow/archflow-init@sha256:97a059b6833c414b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.2417545, 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.
