Individual skill
absolute-init
One-time setup for absolute: interview how you want it to behave (output style, autonomy, TDD strictness, spec dir, families) + detect the stack once, then write `.absolute.config.json` (project, committed) and `~/.absolute/config.json` (user defaults + per-project overrides). Every other absolute-* command reads it instead of re-detecting; non-blocking — commands proceed without it and soft-recommend it. Triggers on "absolute init", "set up absolute", "initialize absolute", "configure absolute", "first-time setup", "remember my conventions for this repo".

## Absolute Init
One-time setup. Detect the project's real conventions, ask a few questions about how you
want absolute to behave, then write that to JSON config the other ten commands read on
every run. Result: commands stop re-detecting your stack from scratch and respect your
preferences (output style, gating, TDD strictness) without being told each time.
This is the only command that writes config. It is non-destructive: an existing config is
shown and updated, never blindly overwritten. It never commits.
