Init

Init

Initialize the .metapowers/ directory for the current project. Set up the project configuration and choose which domains to activate.

Prerequisites

None — this is typically the first Metapowers command you run in a new project.

Process

1. Check if .metapowers/ already exists:

   • If it exists, read .metapowers/config.md and show current configuration
   • Ask if the user wants to update the configuration
   • If it doesn't exist, proceed with initialization

2. Ask the user:

   • What is the project name?
   • Which domains will you use? Present the full list:
     • Design (component design with Figma integration)
     • Research (Double Diamond discovery and validation)
     • Development (plan, build, test, debug, review, ship)
     • Marketing (RACE Framework campaigns)
     • Branding (brand creation and compliance)
     • Accessibility (WCAG-EM audits)
     • Project Management (Scrum workflow)
     • Coaching (domain-specific mentorship)
     • Leadership (team development and management)
     • Legal (contracts, compliance, governance)

3. Create the directory structure:

   • Create .metapowers/ root directory
   • Create subdirectories for each selected domain
   • Create .metapowers/reports/ for cross-domain reports

4. Write the project configuration:

   • Write .metapowers/config.md with:
     • Project name
     • Active domains
     • Date initialized
     • Notes or goals (if the user provided any)

5. Suggest next steps:

   • Based on selected domains, recommend which to start with
   • Provide the first command to run

Output

The project configuration written to .metapowers/config.md. Present the initialized structure and suggested next steps to the user.
