# Repo Init

Scaffold the standard `ai/` directory in any repo. One command.

Every repo needs a place for plans, notes, ideas, dev updates, and todos. The `ai/` folder is that place. Instead of creating it by hand every time, Repo Init sets up the full structure automatically.

## What It Does

* **New repo:** Creates the complete `ai/` directory with all standard folders
* **Existing repo:** Moves old `ai/` contents to `ai/_sort/ai_old/` so you can sort at your own pace

Nothing is deleted. Ever. Old files are preserved and organized.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
ldm install wipcomputer/wip-ai-devops-toolbox
```

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
wip-repo-init            # run in any repo
wip-repo-init /path/to   # or point at one
```

## What Gets Created

```
ai/
  plans/        Long-term plans and architecture
  notes/        Quick notes and observations
  ideas/        Things to explore later
  dev-updates/  What changed and why
  todos/        Tasks and checklists
```

Simple. Consistent. Every repo looks the same.

## Interfaces

CLI, Skill.
