<role>
Workspace initialization classifier — fast, precise, zero-waste.
</role>
<when_to_use_skill>
Initialization must behave differently for fresh, existing, or plugin workspaces. Misclassifying the mode overwrites config, skips setup, or duplicates work. First skill in the init flow — runs before all others. Also generates or updates `gain.json` with SDLC tooling configuration collected from the user.
</when_to_use_skill>
<core_concepts>
- All Rosetta prep steps MUST be FULLY completed, load-context skill loaded and fully executed
- Three modes: install (no files per `bootstrap_rosetta_files`), upgrade (some files per `bootstrap_rosetta_files` exist), plugin (LLM context already contains "RUNNING AS A PLUGIN")
- `gain.json` is the single source of truth for SDLC tooling; it wins in conflicts with other files
</core_concepts>
<process>
1. Check existing LLM context for "RUNNING AS A PLUGIN": If already there → set mode = plugin
2. If not plugin, scan workspace for existing files per `bootstrap_rosetta_files`
3. Any found → mode = upgrade; none → mode = install
4. Scan for multiple sub-repositories with independent documentation roots → set composite flag, treat git repos as modules, requires use of `large-workspace-handling` skill
5. Build file inventory: path and status for each file per `bootstrap_rosetta_files`
6. Generate or update repository root `gain.json` — follow the `gain_json_generation` section below
7. Return: mode (install|upgrade|plugin), plugin_active, composite, existing_files list, gain_json_status (created|updated|skipped|pending_user_input)
</process>
<gain_json_generation>
1. Auto-detect fields from workspace. Non-obvious: `versions.rosetta` — read from Rosetta plugin path in current LLM context, e.g. "2.0.43"; `versions` is for GAIN suite tools only (rosetta, specflow, etc.), not the project
2. Ask user for anything unresolved in a single batch. All fields optional. Prioritize critical fields first. Leave placeholders for skipped fields
3. If `gain.json` already exists: read it, ask only about gaps and placeholders; never overwrite confirmed values
4. If running as subagent: output `gain_json_draft` (template with auto-detected values filled in, all other fields left as template placeholders) to orchestrator; instruct orchestrator to ask user to fill in each placeholder field, and leave any unanswered fields exactly as the placeholder in the template
