init

/init -- Start a new research sprint

The user wants to start a new research sprint.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Parse the user's input to extract:
2. Question: The core research question. If not explicit, ask.
3. Audience: Who will consume the output (engineers, product, executives, etc.). Default to the repo context if detectable.
4. Constraints: Any hard requirements or boundaries (semicolon-separated).
5. Done criteria: What "done" looks like for this sprint.

1. Delegate to the canonical CLI init. Do NOT manually create claims.json or call wheat_add-claim.

Run the full init via the Bash tool:

``bash npx -y @grainulation/wheat init --headless \ --question "<question>" \ --audience "<audience>" \ --constraints "<constraint1>; <constraint2>" \ --done "<done criteria>" ``

This creates all sprint files: claims.json, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .mcp.json, .gitignore, .claude/commands/wheat/, output directories, and the pre-commit hook. Using the CLI ensures the skill path and CLI path produce identical results.

1. After init completes, call wheat_status to verify the sprint was created successfully.

1. Print a summary:

``` Sprint initialized: <slug> Question: <question> Audience: <audience> Claims: <count>

Next steps: /research <topic> -- start gathering evidence /status -- view sprint dashboard ```
