Project Initialization with Vibe Rules Templates

Initialize new projects with a structured development environment for Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, and optionally Cursor. The templates enforce consistent development practices: real testing (no mocks), atomic commits, documentation-driven development, and continuous rule improvement.

When to Use

• Starting a new project from scratch
• Adding cross-agent structure to an existing project
• Setting up .rules/ and .context/ directories for a project that lacks them
• Migrating a project to vibe-rules conventions

Partial-init detection: if AGENTS.md or .rules/ already exists, this is not a fresh init. Inventory what exists first; scaffold only the missing pieces (never overwrite an existing AGENTS.md or customized rule), and use the update-rules skill instead when the ask is to refresh existing files against newer templates. For understanding an existing codebase before documenting it, run codebase-onboarding first and reuse its report for the architecture map in Step 4.
