| description | Use when starting hyperflow in a new project, re-initializing analysis, refreshing `.hyperflow/` cache, or installing multi-tool auto-detection shims (AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, GEMINI.md, CLAUDE.md). Trigger phrases — "init hyperflow", "set up hyperflow", "refresh hyperflow", "install hyperflow shims". Standalone setup; does **not** auto-chain into the feature flow. |
Scaffold
One-shot project setup. Analyzes the codebase, builds the .hyperflow/ cache, seeds the memory skeleton, and optionally installs detection shims for other AI tools. Does not start the spec → scope → dispatch chain — invoke /hyperflow:spec (or /hyperflow:scope) when you're ready for that.
Step 1 — Analysis Cache
Check for .hyperflow/ at project root.
If absent — dispatch parallel searchers (single message, six Agent calls):
| Label | File generated | Discovers |
|---|
Searcher — analyzing tech stack | profile.md | Name, language, framework, build commands |
Searcher — mapping folder structure | architecture.md | Dirs, patterns, routing, data flow |
Searcher — extracting conventions | conventions.md | Naming, style, linting rules |
Searcher — scanning dependencies | dependencies.md | UI lib, state, data fetching, DB, auth |
Searcher — auditing test setup | testing.md | Runner, E2E, patterns, commands |
Searcher — reading git workflow | git-workflow.md | Branches, commits, CI/CD, PR conventions |
See project-analysis.md for what each file captures.
If present — staleness check:
Compute SHA256 of tracked config files, compare against .hyperflow/.checksums. Refresh only stale files. Print Refreshing — <comma-separated list of stale files>.
After analysis:
- Write
.hyperflow/.checksums (SHA256 of package.json, tsconfig.json, eslint/biome config, etc.)
- Append to
.gitignore if .hyperflow/ is not already excluded
Step 2 — Memory Skeleton
Create .hyperflow/memory/ if absent:
.hyperflow/memory/
├── index.md
├── learnings.md
├── decisions.md
├── pitfalls.md
├── patterns.md
├── conventions.md
└── archive/.gitkeep
Migration: If ~/.claude/hyperflow-memory.md exists, migrate entries matching the current project path into the appropriate memory files. Tag migrated entries [migrated].
Step 3 — Multi-Tool Shims
Offer to run scripts/setup-detection.sh --tools all to generate AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, GEMINI.md, and CLAUDE.md.
Flags — --tools <all|agents|cursor|gemini|claude>, --force, --dry-run.
Default — --tools all. Ask once via AskUserQuestion if the user wants to skip any tool.
Step 4 — Summary
Print what was created, skipped, and migrated (elegant style, no icons):
Hyperflow init complete
Created .hyperflow/{profile,architecture,conventions,dependencies,testing,git-workflow}.md
Created .hyperflow/.checksums
Created .hyperflow/memory/{index,learnings,decisions,pitfalls,patterns,conventions}.md
Skipped .gitignore entry — already present
Migrated 3 entries from ~/.claude/hyperflow-memory.md
Shims AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules, GEMINI.md, CLAUDE.md
Hand-off
This skill does not auto-chain. Init is project setup, not feature work. When the user wants to start a feature, they invoke /hyperflow:spec (for ambiguous scope) or /hyperflow:scope (for clear specs).
