Can I use this on existing projects?

Yes, the /intent-init command scans existing files and offers a migration mode to integrate your current documentation into the standard IDD structure.

Does it support monorepos?

Absolutely. It detects monorepo markers like pnpm-workspaces or Lerna files and creates nested intent structures for both individual modules and global architecture.

What is Intent-Driven Development (IDD)?

IDD is a core practice of the AINE methodology that focuses on defining clear intents, responsibilities, and constraints before and during the development process to ensure alignment.

What files does this skill create?

It primarily creates an 'intent/' directory containing INTENT.md files, which serve as the entry points for project goals, architectural overviews, and module-specific responsibilities.

Bootstraps an Intent-Driven Development (IDD) structure to align project goals and architectural requirements.

IDD Intent Init is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to implement Intent-Driven Development (IDD) practices within any codebase. By analyzing your existing project structure—whether it's a single module or a complex monorepo—it automatically scaffolds the necessary intent directories, generates standardized markdown templates, and maps out architectural boundaries. This skill ensures that development remains focused on predefined intents, non-goals, and constraints, fostering better alignment between technical implementation and business vision throughout the software lifecycle.
