Aidd Context:02:project Init

Initialize or refresh the project memory bank, scaffold the rules directory, and ensure AI context files contain the project memory block. Use when running `aidd init` for the first time, bootstrapping a new project, or re-running the init flow on an existing project. Do NOT use for updating individual memory files after they exist - use `aidd-context:05:learn` instead; do NOT use for editing a single rule - edit the file directly.

File contents

Project Init

Bootstraps the full AIDD context layer for a project: AI context files with memory block, aidd_docs/ documentation structure, memory bank files, and rules directory skeleton.

Available actions

#	Action	Role	Input
01	`init-context-file`	Ensure AI context files contain the `<aidd_project_memory>` block	project root
02	`scaffold-docs`	Create `aidd_docs/` structure with README and GUIDELINES	project root
03	`generate-memory`	Detect project type and generate memory files in parallel	`aidd_docs/memory/` from 02
04	`review-memory`	Cross-file consistency review of all generated memory files	`aidd_docs/memory/` from 03
05	`init-rules-skeleton`	Create `rules/` skeleton with 10 numbered phase directories	project root
06	`sync-memory`	Execute `update_memory.js` to fill `<aidd_project_memory>` blocks	context files from 01

Default flow

01 → 02 → 03 → 04 → 05 → 06. Run each action's ## Test before moving to the next.

Transversal rules

Do not display content, just write the files
IMPORTANT : If not applicable / found, remove entire section
"?" means optional, do not add section if not applicable
Templates give optional sections, feel free to add or remove as needed
ZERO DUPLICATION: Focus only on template sections to avoid duplication
SUPER SHORT explicit and concise bullet points
Mention code using backticks
Internal doc: must be located in aidd_docs/memory/internal/
Do not anticipate needs or future changes, focus on current state only
No version in tech names, just the name (e.g., React, not React 19)
