name: init-risk-knowledge description: Initialize the risk knowledge base repository by removing sample data and creating a clean structure. Use when setting up this repository for a new project. Creates .examples/ directory with sample files for reference while cleaning the main structure. This is a one-time operation for initial project setup.

Initialize Risk Knowledge Repository

One-time initialization script to prepare the risk knowledge base for a new project by archiving sample data and creating a clean structure.

When to Use

• Initial project setup: When forking or cloning this repository for a new project
• Starting fresh: When you want to replace all sample data with your own content
• Clean slate: After reviewing examples and ready to build your own knowledge base

NOT for:

• Cleaning up test data in an active project (use git/manual deletion)
• Resetting after adding your own content (not reversible)
• Multiple executions (runs only once)

What It Does

Archives Sample Data

Moves sample content to .examples/ directory for reference:

Copydomains/auth/               → .examples/domains/auth/
domains/payment/            → .examples/domains/payment/
domains/batch-processing/   → .examples/domains/batch-processing/
incidents/*.md              → .examples/incidents/*.md

Cleans Main Structure

• domains/: Becomes empty directory
• incidents/: Becomes empty directory
• common-risks/*.md: Templates with headings only
• indexes/knowledge-map.yml: Reset to empty definitions list

Preserves

• .claude/skills/: All management skills
• .github/: Copilot configuration
• README.md: Documentation
• .examples/: Created with archived samples

Usage

Basic Usage

Copypython3 .claude/skills/init-risk-knowledge/scripts/init_repository.py

Interactive mode with confirmation prompt.

Advanced Options

Copy# Skip confirmation prompt
python3 .claude/skills/init-risk-knowledge/scripts/init_repository.py --force

# Dry run (show what would happen)
python3 .claude/skills/init-risk-knowledge/scripts/init_repository.py --dry-run

Script Workflow

1. Pre-check: Verify .examples/ doesn't exist (prevent multiple runs)
2. Inventory: List all files to be archived
3. Confirmation: Ask user to proceed (unless --force)
4. Archive: Move samples to .examples/
5. Clean: Empty domains/ and incidents/
6. Template: Replace common-risks/ content with structure only
7. Reset: Initialize knowledge-map.yml with empty list
8. Validate: Run validation to ensure clean state
9. Guide: Display next steps

After Initialization

The script displays guidance for next steps:

Copy✓ Repository initialized successfully!

Samples archived to .examples/ directory.

Next steps:
1. Review examples: ls -la .examples/
2. Add your first domain: python3 .claude/skills/manage-risk-knowledge/scripts/add_domain.py
3. Customize common-risks/ for your project
4. Update README.md with project-specific information

- Templates: .claude/skills/manage-risk-knowledge/references/templates.md
- Examples: .examples/
- Management: .claude/skills/manage-risk-knowledge/SKILL.md

Safety Features

Single Execution

Script exits with error if .examples/ already exists:

CopyERROR: .examples/ directory already exists.
This script is for initial setup only and has already been run.

If you want to reset completely, delete .examples/ first (NOT recommended).
For ongoing maintenance, use git or manual file management.

Validation

Runs validate_knowledge.py after initialization to ensure clean state.

Dry Run

Use --dry-run to preview changes without modifying files.

Common-Risks Templates

Each common risk file is templated with this structure:

Copy# Security Risks

Cross-cutting security risk patterns applicable to all domains.

## 1. SQL Injection

**Risk**:
(Add description here)

**Causes**:
- (Add causes here)

**Severity**: 
(Critical/High/Medium/Low)

---

## 2. (Add Risk Name)

**Risk**:
(Add description here)
...

Users can edit these templates directly or reference .examples/common-risks/ for ideas.

Knowledge Map Reset

indexes/knowledge-map.yml is reset to:

Copy# Copilot Knowledge Map
# Define keyword-based routing for domains

definitions: []

# Example entry:
# - domain_name: "Your Domain Name"
#   description: "Brief description"
#   keywords:
#     - "keyword1"
#     - "keyword2"
#   related_files:
#     common_risks:
#       - "common-risks/security.md"
#     domain_knowledge:
#       - "domains/your-domain/spec.md"
#       - "domains/your-domain/risks.md"

Troubleshooting

Already Initialized

If you see the error about .examples/ existing:

Option 1 (Recommended): Keep current state and manage with git

Copy# Add your content normally
python3 .claude/skills/manage-risk-knowledge/scripts/add_domain.py

Option 2 (Destructive): Complete reset

Copy# Backup if needed
cp -r .examples .examples.backup
# Remove and re-run
rm -rf .examples
python3 .claude/skills/init-risk-knowledge/scripts/init_repository.py

Validation Errors

If validation fails after initialization, check:

• File permissions
• Disk space
• YAML syntax in knowledge-map.yml

Run validation manually:

Copypython3 .claude/skills/manage-risk-knowledge/scripts/validate_knowledge.py
