description	Initialize a Rust project for the rust-agents plugin: scaffold .local/ working directories, .claude/rules/ project rules, testing knowledge base, and .gitignore. Run once when starting a new project.

Initialize Rust Project for rust-agents

Scaffold all directories, project rules, and knowledge base files required by the rust-agents plugin — agent handoffs, team results, implementation plans, testing infrastructure, and branching conventions.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS — pass --force to overwrite existing files.

Steps

1. Pre-flight checks

• Verify Cargo.toml exists at workspace root
• If .local/ already exists and --force was NOT passed, report what exists and skip creation

2. Run scaffold script

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scaffold.sh" $ARGUMENTS

The script creates all directories, knowledge base files, and .gitignore entry. It reads Cargo.toml to generate per-crate sections in coverage-status.md.

3. Create project rules

For each rule template in references/rules/, create the corresponding file in .claude/rules/ ONLY if it does not exist (or --force):

Template	Target	Used by
branching.md	.claude/rules/branching.md	/rust-agents:solve-issue
commits-and-issues.md	.claude/rules/commits-and-issues.md	rust-team, rust-code-reviewer, /rust-agents:solve-issue
continuous-improvement.md	.claude/rules/continuous-improvement.md	rust-live-tester, rust-researcher, rust-arch-analyst, rust-security-analyst, /rust-agents:continuous-improvement

Read each template and write to the target path. Create .claude/rules/ directory if needed.

4. Print summary

Report what was created and next steps:

1. Edit .claude/rules/branching.md with project branching conventions
2. Edit .claude/rules/commits-and-issues.md to confirm or customize commit type list and issue labels
3. Edit .claude/rules/continuous-improvement.md with test configs, subsystems, reference projects
4. Run /rust-agents:continuous-improvement to start the first CI cycle
5. Use /rust-agents:solve-issue <number> to solve GitHub issues
