| description | Initialize the database by creating the database/ directory and an empty index.md file. Safe to call if database already exists - will not overwrite existing data. |
Initialize Database
Create the database directory structure and initialize an empty index.
Use TaskCreate to create a task for each step below, then execute them in order. Mark each task in_progress when starting and completed when done using TaskUpdate.
Step 1: Check If Already Initialized
Use the Bash tool to check if the database directory exists:
[ -d "database" ] && echo "EXISTS" || echo "MISSING"
If the output is "EXISTS":
- Use the Read tool to check if
database/index.md exists
- If index exists, report: "Database already initialized. No action needed."
- STOP execution. Do not proceed to further steps.
Step 2: Create Database Directory
Use the Bash tool to create the database directory:
mkdir -p database
Step 3: Create Index File
Use the Write tool to create database/index.md with the following content:
# Database Index
This file tracks all documents stored in the database.
## Documents
<!-- Documents will be listed here as: - [Topic](filename.md) - Description -->
*No documents yet.*
Step 4: Verify Initialization
Use the Read tool to read database/index.md and verify it was created correctly.
Step 5: Report Success
Report to the caller: "Database initialized successfully. The database is ready to store documents."
