Woostack Init

woostack-init

Create or repair .woostack/ support without creating development authority. Initialization never creates a spec, plan, fix, issue, project, branch, PR, or lifecycle state.

Commands

/woostack-init [path]
/woostack-init [path] --migrate-legacy

Every run attempts automatic Linear setup. --migrate-legacy remains an explicit optional mode and does not change the setup or artifact-selection boundaries below.

Procedure

<wi> below means the installed woostack-init skill directory.

1. Resolve the canonical target repository without changing it. Verify repository root, branch, working state, existing .woostack/ files, and collision/symlink/path safety.
2. Read existing configuration under the effective configuration contract and preserve every valid user-owned value. Never clobber reports or policy without an exact approved repair.
3. Create missing local support paths only:
   • .woostack/config.json from the shipped non-secret template;
   • local diagnostic report roots for doctor, audit, and QA;
   • worktree/recovery support declared by the canonical worktree contract; and
   • the three managed project OMP role agents by running bash <wi>/scripts/provision-omp-agents.sh <canonical-repository>. This deterministic provisioner updates only woostack-fast, woostack-standard, and woostack-deep under .omp/agents/, preserves every other agent, ensures exactly one scoped woostack-*.md rule without overwriting consumer-owned .omp/agents/.gitignore lines, and never reads model configuration.
   • the managed project OMP session-naming extension, settings entry, and ignore rules by running bash <wi>/scripts/provision-omp-session-name.sh <canonical-repository>. This deterministic provisioner updates only .omp/extensions/woostack-session-name.ts, .omp/settings.json, and .omp/.gitignore, preserves other extensions, settings keys, and ignore lines, and rejects tracked settings.
4. Perform the automatic read-only Linear setup. Its configured, preserved, skipped, or setup-blocked outcome is separate from local initialization. When artifacts.provider: "github" is selected in configuration, perform the selected-provider read-only GitHub discovery.
5. Validate JSON/schema/path permissions, ignore policy, report roots, managed OMP role agents, and cross-links. Run the shipped doctor checks.
6. Report created, repaired, preserved, skipped, and blocked local paths with exact validation results. Report the Linear configured, preserved, skipped, or setup-blocked outcome separately; when GitHub was selected, report the GitHub discovery outcome (configured, preserved, skipped, or discovery-blocked) separately; provider outcomes never change a successful ordinary local-init result.

Automatic Linear setup

On every run, discover official host-exposed Linear MCP capability. When it is available, use only the minimum authenticated read calls needed to resolve and validate the canonical repository association, one workspace/team, and the native project-status and issue-state names accepted by the existing config schema. Authenticated read access is sufficient: do not require, probe, or use provider write or post-mutation read-back capability. Credentials remain in the host's MCP/OAuth store.

Preserve every valid existing tracked .woostack/config.json value under the effective configuration contract. Semantically add only missing, validated, non-secret artifacts.linear repository/workspace/team/native-name defaults; never replace a valid value merely because discovery differs. After a local config write, independently reopen and parse the file, compare the intended fields and preserved siblings, and report the write configured only when that read-back succeeds.

This setup is the narrow read-only exception defined by the shared artifact contract and Linear provider profile. It never selects artifact mode, reads an issue/project, creates or mutates a provider resource, or authorizes later provider access. If the official MCP is absent, report Linear setup as skipped. If it is unauthenticated, insufficient, partial, ambiguous, or conflicts with a preserved value, report setup-blocked. In both cases continue ordinary local initialization and doctor validation. Never hard-code provider tool names, read credential values, use direct GraphQL/HTTP, or test connectivity with a provider write.

Selected-provider GitHub discovery

When artifacts.provider: "github" is selected in configuration, Init may use the host-authenticated gh CLI only for narrow read-only discovery and validation of missing or unverified non-secret owner, ownerType, canonical Git repository identity, and Project Status field/options. Authenticated read-only access is sufficient: Init never selects persistence, reads development artifact content, probes writes, tests connectivity with a mutation, or modifies GitHub Projects or repository issues.

Optional guarded legacy migration

Tracked legacy .woostack/specs/, .woostack/plans/, .woostack/fixes/, and overnight records are ordinary user-owned files. Never migrate or delete them implicitly.

For --migrate-legacy, follow the canonical legacy migration contract. The route is explicitly one-way: any unknown or partial outcome preserves every local source, and deletion requires the contract's fresh terminal proof plus explicit approval.

Hard constraints

• Artifact persistence remains explicit. Automatic Linear setup and selected-provider GitHub discovery are read-only, select no artifact, and are never required for successful local initialization or repair.
• No source edit outside .woostack/ except the three init-managed .omp/agents/woostack-*.md role definitions and the local managed OMP session-naming assets (.omp/extensions/woostack-session-name.ts, .omp/settings.json, and .omp/.gitignore); no application scaffold.
• No credential read/write, implicit migration, destructive cleanup, commit, push, PR, or merge.
• Preserve user-owned content and fail closed on symlink/path/collision ambiguity.
