| description | Bootstrap a new com.ikenga.studio project — interview for archetype, create the project folder, and instantiate the chosen archetype's block chain into a fresh storyboard.json. |
studio-init
Bootstraps a new Studio project end to end.
What it does
- Asks the user which archetype to use (explainer / product / ai-short / narrative / montage / tutorial / music-video) and a project title/slug.
- Creates the project folder layout:
<project>/{storyboard.json, cells/, anchors/, renders/, exports/} (and script.fountain for the narrative archetype, script.json otherwise).
- Calls the MCP
archetype.instantiate_into_project --archetype <id> so the chosen archetype's chain[] is expanded into cells in storyboard.json.
- Writes
aspect_ratio (defaults: 9:16 for ai-short, 16:9 otherwise) and mode: 'studio'.
Preconditions
Run studio-doctor first if you have never set up the toolchain. The music-video archetype additionally needs studio-beat-detect run against the track before the timeline can snap to beats.
Usage
/studio-init
# → "Which archetype?" → "What's the title?" → folder + storyboard.json created
The archetype list is read live from the catalog (archetype.list), so any installed archetype skill is selectable.
