Scaffold an unconfigured directory into a configured pi project. Interactive, profile-driven: previews the planned writes, then writes AGENTS.md, .pi/settings.json and prompt files — optionally also a knowledge base, an openspec/ scaffold, and user-global ~/.pi/agent/settings.json. Use on a bare directory, or when the dashboard''s "Initialize" button spawns this session.
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
# Project Init Turn the current directory into a configured pi project through a guided, conversational flow. You are running as a first-class interactive session — converse, confirm, and only write files after the user agrees. **Target directory** = your current working directory (`cwd`). All writes land there. All profile/doctrine paths below are relative to THIS skill's directory (the folder containing this `SKILL.md`); call it `<skill>`. ## Step 1 — Resolve the available profiles A profile is a directory bundle: `profile.json` (optional, carries `description` + `dox`), `AGENTS.md.tmpl`, `settings.json.tmpl`, and `prompts/*.md`. Enumerate profiles from two sources, **user wins by name**: 1. Shipped: `<skill>/profiles/*` 2. User: `~/.pi/project-profiles/*` ```bash ls -1 "<skill>/profiles" 2>/dev/null ls -1 "$HOME/.pi/project-profiles" 2>/dev/null ``` Merge: a user profile of the same name fully shadows the shipped one. A directory is only a usable profile when it contains BOTH `AGENTS.md.tmpl` and `settings.json.tmpl`. Read each `profile.json` for its `description` and `dox` flag (`dox` defaults to `false` when absent or unreadable). ## Step 2 — Ask which profile …

How to install
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/project-init@sha256:71fd1470e119b868The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
