Why is a git repository required?

Mill is designed to track project evolution and manage worktrees, which requires the version control context provided by a git repository.

What does the Mill init skill actually create?

It creates a .mill/ directory containing subfolders for strategic planning, personas, rules, architectural decisions, and an observation inbox for learning.

Will running init delete my existing project data?

No. The skill checks for an existing .mill/ directory and asks for confirmation before re-initializing, specifically aiming to preserve your ground and observation files.

What is the purpose of the included .gitignore?

The .gitignore ensures that local scratchpads, personal idea drafts, and temporary execution sandboxes aren't accidentally committed to your main repository.
