Repo Init

Scaffolds the standard ai/ directory structure in any repo.

Commands

wip-repo-init /path/to/repo              # scaffold ai/ in a repo
wip-repo-init /path/to/repo --dry-run    # preview without changes
wip-repo-init /path/to/repo --yes        # skip confirmation prompt

What happens

New repo (no ai/ folder): Creates the full standard structure with all READMEs explaining what goes where.

Existing repo (ai/ folder exists): Shows you what will happen and asks for confirmation. If you say yes:

1. Moves your current ai/ contents to ai/_sort/ai_old/
2. Scaffolds the new standard structure
3. You sort files from ai_old/ into the new structure at your own pace

Nothing is deleted. Your old files are all in ai/_sort/ai_old/.

The standard ai/ structure

ai/
  read-me-first.md          <- explains everything, links to all sections
  _sort/                    <- holding pen for files that need sorting
  _trash/                   <- archive (never delete, move here)
  dev-updates/              <- engineering changelog, auto-detected by wip-release
  product/
    readme-first-product.md <- the product bible
    notes/                  <- freeform notes, research
    plans-prds/             <- plans with lifecycle stages
      roadmap.md            <- prioritized roadmap
      current/              <- plans being built now
      upcoming/             <- plans that are next
      archive-complete/     <- plans that shipped
      todos/                <- per-agent todo files
    product-ideas/          <- ideas that aren't plans yet

Every folder has a _trash/ subfolder. Every section has a README explaining what it is, what goes in it, and how to maintain it.
