SKILL

arch-init

Build a repo's first living-architecture model — write the language sections of architecture/index.yaml, scaffold the as-is model from the measured imports (la-arch-scaffold), choose the wedge with the user, draft the principles from the repo's own instructions, map the specs, and get la-arch-check green. Syntax and maintenance are in the la:living-architecture reference.

Preflight: run la-doctor --plugin --require-config once per session before using any la- or dr- command. If it reports the missing-config finding (the one naming /la:init), run the fast path of the la:init skill, then re-run this preflight; stop and show the user its output on anything it still reports, or on any other failure. The syntax of the model, index.yaml, views and arc42 files, and every check la-arch-check runs, are in the la:living-architecture skill; read it first. Everything this skill writes is normative, like tests: show each model, arc42 and index.yaml edit and get the user's OK before landing it. architecture/index.yaml does not exist (otherwise this is maintenance: use la:living-architecture). openspec: true in the config means openspec/ is healthy; if not, run la:openspec-init first. A type check with a baseline: run la-typecheck. If it checks a language that has no baseline, offer la-typecheck --write-baseline (the one legitimate recording; afterwards the baseline only shrinks). If it prints "nothing to check", tell the user that la:arch-cleanup cannot verify moves without one, and offer to set commands.typecheck first. Write architecture/index.yaml with one sec
