# /init -- Start a new research sprint
The user wants to start a new research sprint.
## Arguments
$ARGUMENTS
## Instructions
1. Parse the user's input to extract:
- **Question**: The core research question. If not explicit, ask.
- **Audience**: Who will consume the output (engineers, product, executives, etc.). Default to the repo context if detectable.
- **Constraints**: Any hard requirements or boundaries.
2. Generate a sprint slug from the question (lowercase, hyphenated, max 4 words). Example: "how does auth work" -> `auth-architecture`.
- 3. Create the sprint directory at `.wheat/sprints/<slug>/`.
-
- 4. Create `claims.json` with schema_version "1.0" and meta fields (question, initiated date, audience, phase: "define", connectors: []).
+ 3. Create `claims.json` in the project root with schema_version "1.0" and meta fields (question, initiated date, audience, phase: "define", connectors: []).
5. Add define-phase claims:
- `d001`: constraint claim capturing the core question scope
- `d002`: constraint claim for audience and output expectations
- Additional `d###` claims for any stated constraints
6. Run `wheat_compile` to validate the initial sprint.
7. Print a summary:
```
Sprint initialized: <slug>
Question: <question>
Audience: <audience>
Claims: <count>
Next steps:
/research <topic> -- start gathering evidence
/status -- view sprint dashboard
