PAUL Init
Initialize PALS in the current project.
Canonical workflow
../workflows/init-project.md
../templates/PROJECT.md
../templates/PRD.md
Default output
- Concise by default: ask one onboarding question or show one migration/resume next action.
- Expand for stale config migration, destructive choices, blockers, or user-requested detail.
Command-local notes
- Supports both greenfield and brownfield onboarding while converging on the same layered artifacts:
PROJECT.md, PRD.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, and pals.json.
- Ask for onboarding inputs one question at a time.
- Set or preserve
planning.default_collaboration during initialization.
- If
.paul/ already exists, migrate stale pals.json data first; otherwise route to resume/plan behavior instead of reinitializing blindly.
