init

First-time Archcore setup. Wires the host (MCP config, hooks, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md managed block), measures the authored context the repo already holds, then composes a first-day seed — stack rule, run guide, data-model, integrations, config, entry points, public surface, a linked architecture overview, and specs for the top hotspot modules — shown in ONE preview and created on a single confirm. Modes, named as the first word: init import converts the repo's authored context — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules and other agent instructions, ADR and RFC folders, contributor docs, internal pages of a published docs site, recoverable git history — into native typed documents with no import marks, staged by a plan when the volume is large; init refresh adds facts that appeared since, or drills into one domain with init refresh <domain>. Use on a fresh clone, empty `.archcore/`, 'set up archcore', 'migrate our CLAUDE.md to archcore', 'import our docs and ADRs', or to wire host configs. Not for individual docs or planning.

# /archcore:init

First-time onboarding. Wires the host, measures the authored context the repository already holds, and fills `.archcore/` from two sources — what people wrote and what the code shows — so the code-alignment hook and per-command grounding have substance from day one. Per `magic-first-day-init.adr` and `init-import-mode.adr`: extractive facts are composed in full; authored content wins over synthesized content on the same subject; the overview is an index, never a prose blob. **Nothing is written before `confirm`.**

Before planning or writing relations, load `skills/_shared/relation-authoring.md`.
Apply its claim check to seed and import wiring after reading the endpoint content.

## Arguments

The first word selects the run: `import` or `refresh`. These two words are the command's modes in the sense of `command-surface-v2.spec`. The rest of the arguments is the subject. No arguments, or any other first word, start a plain init.

- `import [path]` — convert the repository's authored context into native documents, at all five discovery levels of `lib/sources.md`; a path limits the run to that path. Resumes an open import plan when one exists.
- `refresh [path or domain]` — re-run on a seeded repo to add facts that appeared since (a new schema, config, or modules) and to retrofit host wiring. A subject scopes the top-up: an existing path wins; otherwise a detected domain slug runs the single-domain pass. Bypasses the "already seeded" early-exit.
- Depth and scale are not arguments. The preview offers the toggles `depth:light|standard|deep` (default `standard`) and `scale:small|medium|large`, where the user already sees each choice's cost (`lib/seed-compose.md`). Import has no depth.
