nini-workspace-init（nini 工作空间初始化）

Workspace Init

Interactive initialization for workspaces created from dev-config-template. Takes a blank template to a fully working multi-repo workspace in one session.

Prerequisites

Do NOT verify prerequisites on skill load. Check them at the start of Phase 2 (before execution begins). If a tool is missing, provide install instructions and wait for the user to confirm before continuing.

When to Use

• User just created a repo from dev-config-template and wants to set it up
• User says "initialize workspace", "set up my project", "configure workspace"
• User mentions dev-config-template and asks for help getting started
• User wants to update an existing workspace to match the latest template

              Phase 5: Finalize ◄── Phase 4: Environments

All information is collected in Phase 1 (interactive). Phases 2-5 execute without further prompts -- errors are reported with remediation steps.

Phase 1: Information Collection

Ask the user for the following, one at a time. Wait for each answer before asking the next question.

1.1 Project basics

1. Project name -- used for config.yaml, VSCode workspace file, commit messages.

Example: "srhome-dev", "my-iot-platform"

1. Project description -- one sentence describing the workspace.

Example: "Multi-tenant smart home management system"

1.2 User profile

1. Role -- what they do. Goes into CLAUDE.md [ROLE].

Example: "a backend developer", "a full-stack engineer"

1. Experience level -- "experienced" or "learning while developing".

Goes into CLAUDE.md [LEVEL].

1. Preferred language -- for AI conversations and documentation.

Goes into CLAUDE.md [YOUR_LANGUAGE]. Example: "English", "简体中文", "日本語"

1.3 Tech stack and tooling

1. Tech stack -- "Python", "TypeScript", or "mixed".

After selection, present defaults and ask user to confirm or override:

Say something like:

Based on your tech stack, here are the suggested tools: - Formatter: ruff format . - Linter: ruff check . - Type checker: mypy . - Test runner: pytest Want to keep these, or change any of them?

For "mixed", show both sets.

1.4 Sub-repositories

Collect repos one at a time in a loop:

1. For each repo, ask:

- Name -- identifier, used as directory name. Example: "sunlite-backend" - Git URL -- clone URL. Example: git@github.com:org/repo.git - Description -- short description for CLAUDE.md table. Example: "Backend API service"

After each repo, ask: "Add another repo, or done?"

Continue until user says "done" (or equivalent like "完了", "没了", "that's all").

1.5 Confirm before executing

Summarize all collected info and ask for confirmation:

Project: my-project
Description: A multi-repo IoT platform
Role: backend developer
Level: learning while developing
Language: 简体中文
Stack: Python (ruff format / ruff check / mypy / pytest)

Repos:
  1. iot-backend (git@github.com:org/iot-backend.git) -- Backend API
  2. iot-docs (git@github.com:org/iot-docs.git) -- Documentation

Proceed with setup?

Phase 2: Scaffold Structure

2.1 Check prerequisites

Before making any changes, verify required tools:

which git && which jq && which openspec

If any tool is missing, stop and provide install instructions. Do not proceed until all tools are available.

2.2 Write repos.json

Generate repos.json in the workspace root:

{
  "repos": [
    {
      "name": "{name}",
      "url": "{git_url}",
      "path": "repos/{name}"
    }
  ]
}

2.3 Customize CLAUDE.md

Read the template CLAUDE.md and replace all placeholders. For the complete mapping of placeholders to collected values, read references/claude-md-fields.md.

Key replacements:

• [ROLE: e.g., ...] -> collected role
• [LEVEL: e.g., ...] -> collected level
• [YOUR_LANGUAGE: e.g., ...] -> collected language (appears twice)
• [YOUR_FORMAT_COMMAND] -> confirmed formatter
• [YOUR_LINT_COMMAND] -> confirmed linter
• [YOUR_TYPE_CHECK_COMMAND] -> confirmed type checker
• [YOUR_TEST_COMMAND] -> confirmed test runner
• [PROJECT_STYLE_GUIDE: e.g., ...] -> style guide based on tech stack
• Repository table in section 1 -> generated from repo list

2.4 Clone sub-repos

Run script/setup to clone all repositories:

./script/setup

If this fails (e.g., authentication issues, network errors), report the error and suggest the user fix it manually, then re-run.

Phase 3: OpenSpec Initialization

3.1 Run openspec init

openspec init

3.2 Generate config.yaml

Read references/config-template.yaml and populate it with:

• {project_name} -> collected project name
• {description} -> collected description
• {repos_list} -> formatted repo list, one per line:

  - **{name}**: {description}

Write the result to openspec/config.yaml.

Phase 4: Environment Configuration

For each cloned sub-repo under repos/, detect project type and configure:

4.1 Python project (pyproject.toml detected)

cd repos/{name}
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]" 2>/dev/null || pip install -e .

If venv creation fails, report the error and continue with the next repo.

4.2 TypeScript project (package.json detected)

cd repos/{name}
# Use bun if bun.lockb exists, otherwise npm
if [ -f bun.lockb ]; then
    bun install
else
    npm install
fi

4.3 Pre-commit (if .pre-commit-config.yaml exists)

cd repos/{name}
pre-commit install

Skip silently if pre-commit is not installed.

4.4 No recognizable project config

If a repo has no pyproject.toml, package.json, or setup.py, skip it and note:

"No pyproject.toml or package.json found in {name}. You may need to set up the environment manually."

4.5 VSCode workspace file

Generate {project-name}.code-workspace:

{
  "folders": [
    { "path": ".", "name": "Config" },
    { "path": "repos/{name1}", "name": "{Name1}" },
    { "path": "repos/{name2}", "name": "{Name2}" }
  ]
}

Phase 5: Finalize

5.1 Version tracking

Write the template commit SHA to .workspace-init-version for future updates:

gh api repos/niracler/dev-config-template/commits/main --jq '.sha' > .workspace-init-version

If gh is not available, write unknown -- update will still work but will show all template changes instead of just the diff.

5.2 Initial commit

Stage and commit all generated/modified files:

git add repos.json CLAUDE.md openspec/ *.code-workspace .workspace-init-version
git commit -m "chore: initialize workspace"

Do NOT push -- let the user decide when to push.

5.3 Validate

Run the bundled validation script to verify everything is in place:

python3 <skill-path>/scripts/validate.py .

This checks: repos.json structure, CLAUDE.md placeholder replacement, sub-repo cloning, OpenSpec config, environment setup, and VSCode workspace file.

If any ERROR-level checks fail, show the output and help the user fix the issues before proceeding. WARNING-level items are informational -- note them but continue.

5.4 Next steps

Display a checklist:

Workspace initialized! Here's what to do next:

1. Open the workspace in VSCode:
   code {project-name}.code-workspace

2. Start Claude Code and try a conversation:
   claude

3. Create your first change:
   /opsx:new

4. Set up project scheduling (optional):
   Ask Claude: "planning init {project-name}"

5. Push when ready:
   git push -u origin main

Common Mistakes

Update Mode

When the user asks to update the workspace template, follow this flow.

Trigger phrases: "update workspace", "update template", "sync template", "更新工作区模板", "模板有更新吗", "template changed"

Step 1: Check current version

Read .workspace-init-version to get the local template SHA.

cat .workspace-init-version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"

Step 2: Fetch remote template state

gh api repos/niracler/dev-config-template/commits/main --jq '.sha'

If local SHA matches remote HEAD, report "Already up to date" and stop.

Step 3: Show what changed

Fetch the diff between local version and remote HEAD:

gh api "repos/niracler/dev-config-template/compare/{local_sha}...main" \
  --jq '.files[] | "\(.status)\	\(.filename)"'

If local SHA is unknown, fetch the full file list instead and compare against local files.

Display a summary:

Template updates available (3 files changed):

  modified  script/setup        -- Updated clone logic
  modified  CLAUDE.md           -- Added new section 10
  added     .editorconfig       -- New file

Files that will NOT be touched (your customizations):
  repos.json
  openspec/config.yaml
  CLAUDE.md filled values ([ROLE], [LEVEL], etc.)

Step 4: Apply updates (with confirmation)

Ask the user to confirm before applying.

For each changed template file:

script/setup, .gitignore, .editorconfig (non-customized files):

• Fetch the new version and overwrite directly

CLAUDE.md (partially customized):

• Fetch the new template version
• Extract the user's current filled values (role, level, language, commands, repo table)
• Apply the new template structure
• Re-fill the extracted values into the new template
• Show the user a diff of structural changes for review

Files to NEVER touch:

• repos.json -- user's repo configuration
• openspec/ -- user's change management data
• repos/ -- sub-repo contents
• .claude/ -- user's Claude settings and skills

Step 5: Update version and commit

gh api repos/niracler/dev-config-template/commits/main --jq '.sha' > .workspace-init-version
git add -A
git commit -m "chore: update workspace template"

Step 6: Validate

Run scripts/validate.py to confirm the update didn't break anything.
