agent-flow-init-check

name	agent-flow-init-check
description	Guard skill that halts command execution if the agent-flow system is not initialized. Checks for .claude-agent-flow/sync-state.json (installed repos) or .claude-agent-flow/publish-plugin-manifest.yml (master source repo) and stops with a clear message to run /install if neither is present.

Init Guard

Before executing the command, check whether the agent-flow system has been initialized in this repository.

Check

1. Look for the file .claude-agent-flow/publish-plugin-manifest.yml in the repository root

   • If it exists: This is the master (source) repo — skip all further checks and continue silently

2. Look for the file .claude-agent-flow/sync-state.json in the repository root

3. If the file does NOT exist: Output the following message and STOP immediately — do not continue with the command:

   Agent-flow is not initialized in this repository. Run /install to set up.

4. If the file exists: Continue silently — do not output anything about this check.

Important

• This check is imperative, not advisory — if the file is missing, the command MUST halt
• Do not suggest workarounds or alternatives — just tell the user to run /install
• This skill must NOT be added to install.md or help.md — install is the bootstrapper and help is user discovery; both must work before initialization
