⚡ Init Harness

One command: agent-foreman init

Quick Start

Copyagent-foreman init

Creates: ai/tasks/, ai/progress.log, ai/init.sh, CLAUDE.md

TDD Mode (Default: Recommended)

During init, you'll be prompted for TDD mode. Recommended is the default (tests suggested but not required).

The prompt auto-skips after 10 seconds with recommended mode.

Modes

Task Types

Auto-Detection

1. ARCHITECTURE.md exists → use it (fast)
2. Source code exists → AI scan + auto-save ARCHITECTURE.md
3. Empty project → generate from goal

Pre-Init (Recommended)

For existing projects:

Copyagent-foreman init --analyze    # First: understand project
agent-foreman init              # Then: create harness
