# Operator Project Setup

1. Run `operator-helper version`. If an update is available, run `operator-helper upgrade` before continuing.
2. Run `operator-helper project init` and follow the emitted Project Setup guide, including when initialization reports failures.

For a new conversation to set up the Project Index, tell the user to invoke `/operator:index`.

## Recovery

- If Helper cannot start, install or repair the npm package `@aerovato/operator-helper` globally and retry the failed command.
- If the version check or upgrade fails, diagnose the error and retry.
- If `operator-helper project init` reports a failure, use its output to resolve it and rerun it as needed.
- If you cannot resolve a problem, report the blocker.

Use Helper output as working context. Do not reproduce it wholesale or reimplement Helper logic.
