Individual skill
init
Onboard a repo to the la plugin — detect its tracker, test/lint/type-check commands, Codex, Sonar and any existing OpenSpec or architecture setup, propose a complete living-architecture.yaml with a source for every key, ask only what cannot be detected, write the file, then offer the type-check baseline and la:arch-init. Also the fast path other skills run when a repo has no config, and the way to edit or convert an existing config.

Read excerpt
**Preflight:** run `la-doctor --plugin <this skill's base directory>` once per session before using any `la-*` or `dr-*` command; if it fails, stop and show the user its output — unless the only failure is the existing `living-architecture.yaml` being invalid or declaring an older format, which this skill converts (steps 1 and 5).
# Onboard a repo
`living-architecture.yaml` records each gate of the flow as an explicit decision; its presence means the repo
is onboarded. Keys, defaults and the doctor's consistency checks are in `docs/configuration.md` of the plugin
repo; `la-config show` prints the resolved values.
**Fast path.** When another skill's preflight reports the missing config, run steps 1–6 only, then hand back
to that skill. A full run (the user invoked `/la:init`) continues to step 7.
