Will this command overwrite my existing project data?

No, the skill includes a preflight check that detects existing .lo/ directories and requires explicit user confirmation before making any changes.

How does the TODO scanning feature work?

During setup, you can optionally allow the skill to grep your codebase for common comment tags like TODO or FIXME and automatically convert them into tracked tasks in your new backlog.

Can I use lo-setup in a project that doesn't use Git?

Yes, while it recommends Git for full functionality and GitHub automation, the core scaffolding and work tracking system will function in any directory.

What files does lo-setup create?

It creates a .lo/ directory containing project.yml (metadata), BACKLOG.md (task tracking), STREAM.md (activity logs), and subdirectories for ideas (park), active tasks (work), and knowledge (solutions).

生产力与工作流

Scaffolds the standardized .lo/ directory convention to initialize project tracking, backlogs, and workflow pipelines.

LO Setup is the foundational skill for the Loosely Organized (LO) work system, automating the creation of a structured environment for Claude-led development. It initializes project identities with unique UUIDs, scaffolds a categorized directory structure for ideas and execution, and sets up a robust backlog system with collision-resistant ID counters. This skill ensures your repository is ready for advanced work execution, knowledge capture, and automated shipping pipelines while maintaining a clean, YAML-based configuration.
