Initialise Accelerator
You prepare a consumer repository with all directories and gitignore entries
that Accelerator skills expect. This is safe to run repeatedly — it reports
what was created versus what already existed.
Path Resolution
Resolve each output directory using the plugin's path configuration:
Plans directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh plans
Research directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh research_codebase
Decisions directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh decisions
PRs directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh prs
Validations directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh validations
Review plans directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh review_plans
Review PRs directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh review_prs
Review work items directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh review_work
Work items directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh work
Notes directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh notes
Design inventories directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh research_design_inventories
Design gaps directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh research_design_gaps
Global directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh global
Steps
Execute the following steps in order, tracking what was created versus what
already existed so you can present a summary at the end.
Steps 1–3: Run the init script
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/config/init/scripts/init.sh"
The script creates 13 meta/ directories with .gitkeep files, creates the
.accelerator/ core scaffold (.gitignore, state/, tmp/, skills/,
lenses/, templates/), writes the inner tmp .gitignore, and appends the
.accelerator/config.local.md rule to the root .gitignore. It is idempotent
— safe to run repeatedly.
Step 4: Report results
Only after all steps above have completed successfully, present a summary:
Initialisation complete:
Directories:
✓ {plans directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {research directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {decisions directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {prs directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {validations directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {review plans directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {review prs directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {review work items directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {work items directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {notes directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {design inventories directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {design gaps directory} (created | already exists)
✓ {global directory} (created | already exists)
Accelerator scaffold:
✓ .accelerator/.gitignore (created | already exists)
✓ .accelerator/state/.gitkeep (created | already exists)
✓ .accelerator/skills/.gitkeep (created | already exists)
✓ .accelerator/lenses/.gitkeep (created | already exists)
✓ .accelerator/templates/.gitkeep (created | already exists)
✓ .accelerator/tmp/.gitignore (created | already exists)
✓ .accelerator/tmp/.gitkeep (created | already exists)
Gitignore entries:
✓ .accelerator/config.local.md (added | already present)
Use the actual resolved paths in the output (not the variable names).
/accelerator:init bootstraps a fresh repository. To upgrade an existing repository after a plugin update, use /accelerator:migrate instead — it applies ordered, idempotent migrations to bring meta/, .claude/, and .accelerator/ in line with the latest schema.
