Why is Always-Init required for every request?

It ensures the AI has all necessary context, such as tech stack preferences and security protocols, before it starts working, which prevents environment-related errors.

Can I customize the technical stack preferences?

Yes, the skill reads from your local configuration (~/.claude/skills/PAI/SKILL.md) where you can define preferences like TypeScript over Python or bun over npm.

Does this skill interfere with other Claude Code skills?

No, it is designed to run as a pre-requisite, providing a rich context that actually makes other skills more effective and accurate.

What does PAI stand for in this context?

PAI stands for Personal AI Infrastructure, a set of configurations including your contacts, technical preferences, and operational instructions.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the initialization of personal context and project-specific preferences for every Claude interaction.

About

Always-init is a foundational Claude Code Skill designed to act as a universal task initializer, ensuring that every user request is processed with full awareness of your Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI). By automatically loading critical context—including team contacts, technical stack preferences like TypeScript and bun, security protocols, and specific agent routing instructions—it eliminates manual setup and prevents errors caused by missing context. This context-first architecture streamlines workflows by bootstrapping necessary configurations before any tool or sub-skill is executed, ensuring consistent and personalized AI behavior across all sessions.
