dx-init
Set up the context/ tree the dx- workflow reads and writes. Idempotent by contract: create what's missing, never touch what exists. Re-running is safe.
Scaffold
Create (only if absent) under context/:
foundation/ glossary.md, lessons.md, research/
standards/ global/, frontend/, backend/, testing/
efforts/ changes/ archive/
- Seed the three global standards by copying
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/assets/standards/global/*.md into context/standards/global/. If a target file already exists, leave it — a project may have edited it.
standards/{frontend,backend,testing}/ ship empty — dx-standards-discover fills them per-project from the real codebase.foundation/glossary.md and foundation/lessons.md get a one-line header each and nothing more (e.g. # Glossary — ubiquitous language for this project / # Lessons — accrued warnings and load-bearing decisions (append-only)). They stay empty; dx-domain-discover and dx-lesson fill them.
Root CLAUDE.md
Ensure the project's root CLAUDE.md (create if absent, else append a short section — don't duplicate if already present) states:
- User-confirmed rollback: on failure, never auto-rollback or revert. Stop, analyze the root cause, and ask the user before reverting anything — most failures are simple fixes and auto-rollback discards valid work and hides causes.
- A one-line pointer: this project uses the dx- SDLC framework; workflow state lives under
context/.
Done when
The tree above exists, the three global standards are in place, and root CLAUDE.md carries the rollback principle. Print a short created/present status per artifact, then:
Next: /dx-new <idea> — create a change or effort and start the workflow.
Stop. Do not chain into another skill.
