# Workflow Init Command (/workflow:init)

## Overview
Initializes `.workflow/project.json` with comprehensive project understanding by leveraging **cli-explore-agent** for intelligent analysis.

**Key Features**:
- **Intelligent Project Analysis**: Uses cli-explore-agent's Deep Scan mode
- **Technology Stack Detection**: Identifies languages, frameworks, build tools
- **Architecture Overview**: Discovers patterns, layers, key components
- **One-time Initialization**: Skips if project.json exists (unless --regenerate)

## Usage
```bash
/workflow:init                 # Initialize project state (skip if exists)
/workflow:init --regenerate    # Force regeneration of project.json
```

## Implementation Flow

### Step 1: Check Existing State

```bash
# Check if project.json already exists
bash(test -f .workflow/project.json && echo "EXISTS" || echo "NOT_FOUND")
```

**If EXISTS and no --regenerate flag**:
```
Project already initialized at .workflow/project.json
Use /workflow:init --regenerate to rebuild project analysis
Use /workflow:status --project to view current state
```

**If NOT_FOUND or --regenerate flag**: Proceed to initialization

### Step 2: Project Discovery

```bash
# Get project name and root
bash(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)")
bash(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)

# Create .workflow directory
bash(mkdir -p .workflow)
```

### Step 3: Intelligent Project Analysis

**Invoke cli-explore-agent** with Deep Scan mode for comprehensive understanding:

```javascript
Task(
  subagent_type="cli-explore-agent",
  description="Deep project analysis",
  prompt=`
Analyze project structure and technology stack for workflow initialization.

## Analysis Objective
Perform Deep Scan analysis to build comprehensive project understanding for .workflow/project.json initialization.

## Required Analysis

### 1. Technology Stack Detection
- **Primary Languages**: Identify all programming languages with file counts
- **Frameworks**: Detect web frameworks (React, Vue, Express, Django, etc.)
- **Build Tools**: Identify build systems (npm, cargo, maven, gradle, etc.)
- **Test Frameworks**: Find testing tools (jest, pytest, go test, etc.)

### 2. Project Architecture
- **Architecture Style**: Identify patterns (MVC, microservices, monorepo, etc.)
- **Layer Structure**: Discover architectural layers (presentation, business, data)
- **Design Patterns**: Find common patterns (singleton, factory, repository, etc.)
- **Key Components**: List 5-10 core modules/components with brief descriptions

### 3. Project Metrics
- **Total Files**: Count source code files
- **Lines of Code**: Estimate total LOC
- **Module Count**: Number of top-level modules/packages
- **Complexity**: Overall complexity rating (low/medium/high)

### 4. Entry Points
- **Main Entry**: Identify primary application entry point(s)
- **CLI Commands**: Discover available commands/scripts
- **API Endpoints**: Find HTTP/REST/GraphQL endpoints (if applicable)

## Execution Mode
Use **Deep Scan** with Dual-Source Strategy:
- Phase 1: Bash structural scan (fast pattern discovery)
- Phase 2: Gemini semantic analysis (design intent, patterns)
- Phase 3: Synthesis (merge findings with attribution)

## Analysis Scope
- Root directory: ${projectRoot}
- Exclude: node_modules, dist, build, .git, vendor, __pycache__
- Focus: Source code directories (src, lib, pkg, app, etc.)

## Output Format
Return JSON structure for programmatic processing:

\`\`\`json

## Quality Requirements
- ✅ All technology stack items verified (no guessing)
- ✅ Key components include file paths for navigation
- ✅ Architecture style based on actual code patterns, not assumptions
- ✅ Metrics calculated from actual file counts/lines
- ✅ Entry points verified as executable

**Agent Output**: JSON structure with comprehensive project analysis

### Step 4: Build project.json from Analysis

**Data Processing**:
```javascript
// Parse agent analysis output
const analysis = JSON.parse(agentOutput);

// Build complete project.json structure
const projectMeta = {
  // Basic metadata
  project_name: projectName,
  initialized_at: new Date().toISOString(),

  // Project overview (from cli-explore-agent)
  overview: {
    description: generateDescription(analysis), // e.g., "TypeScript web application with React frontend"
    technology_stack: analysis.technology_stack,
    architecture: {
      style: analysis.architecture.style,
      layers: analysis.architecture.layers,
      patterns: analysis.architecture.patterns
    },
    key_components: analysis.architecture.key_components,
    entry_points: analysis.entry_points,
    metrics: analysis.metrics
  },

  // Feature registry (initially empty, populated by complete)
  features: [],

  // Statistics
  statistics: {
    total_features: 0,
    total_sessions: 0,
    last_updated: new Date().toISOString()
  },

  // Analysis metadata
  _metadata: {
    initialized_by: "cli-explore-agent",
    analysis_timestamp: analysis.analysis_metadata.timestamp,
    analysis_mode: analysis.analysis_metadata.mode
  }
};

// Helper: Generate project description
function generateDescription(analysis) {
  const primaryLang = analysis.technology_stack.languages.find(l => l.primary);
  const frameworks = analysis.technology_stack.frameworks.slice(0, 2).join(', ');

  return `${primaryLang.name} project using ${frameworks}`;
}

// Write to .workflow/project.json
Write('.workflow/project.json', JSON.stringify(projectMeta, null, 2));
```

### Step 5: Output Summary

```

  }
}
```

## Regeneration Behavior

When using `--regenerate` flag:

1. **Backup existing file**:
   ```bash
   bash(cp .workflow/project.json .workflow/project.json.backup)
   ```

2. **Preserve features array**:
   ```javascript
   const existingMeta = JSON.parse(Read('.workflow/project.json'));
   const preservedFeatures = existingMeta.features || [];
   const preservedStats = existingMeta.statistics || {};
   ```

3. **Re-run cli-explore-agent analysis**

4. **Merge preserved data with new analysis**:
   ```javascript
   const newProjectMeta = {
     ...analysisResults,
     features: preservedFeatures,        // Keep existing features
     statistics: preservedStats          // Keep statistics
   };
   ```

5. **Output**:
   ```
   ✓ Project analysis regenerated
   Backup saved: .workflow/project.json.backup

   Updated:
   - Technology stack analysis
   - Architecture overview
   - Key components discovery

   Preserved:
   - ${preservedFeatures.length} existing features
   - Session statistics
   ```

## Error Handling

### Agent Failure
```
If cli-explore-agent fails:
1. Fall back to basic initialization
2. Use get_modules_by_depth.sh for structure
3. Create minimal project.json with placeholder overview
4. Log warning: "Project initialized with basic analysis. Run /workflow:init --regenerate for full analysis"
```

### Missing Tools
```
If Gemini CLI unavailable:
1. Agent uses Qwen fallback
2. If both fail, use bash-only analysis
3. Mark in _metadata: "analysis_mode": "bash-fallback"
```

### Invalid Project Root
```
If not in git repo and empty directory:
1. Warn user: "Empty project detected"
2. Create minimal project.json
3. Suggest: "Add code files and run /workflow:init --regenerate"
```
