Codex/Hermes workflow skill generated from
commands/init.md. Treat the user's current request as$ARGUMENTS. In Codex/Hermes, route to the matching SDC skill/workflow instead of expecting/sdc:*slash-command support.
Initialize or repair the standard .sdc/ workspace in the current project. Treat "$ARGUMENTS" as additional project context.
Do not overwrite user-authored .sdc/ artifacts. If old SDC-generated managed templates are clearly stale, upgrade them to the current schema only with a .bak-* backup and report the repair.
Run the SDC init workflow:
.sdc/ idempotently.constitution.md, project.md, project-cognition.md, common-ground.md, expert-routing.md, knowledge/, memory/, standards/, templates/, changes/, specs/, decisions/, reviews/, and reports/.common-ground.md with ESTABLISHED / WORKING / OPEN sections; do not mark generated starter content as ESTABLISHED.expert-routing.md with candidate expert profiles; do not expose those profiles as additional public slash commands..sdc/standards/company/ and create a routing index. Do not publish those private rules with SDC.project-cognition.md; do not perform per-change impact analysis during init.
