First project

After the CLI is installed, initialize one application repository.

cd /path/to/your-app
pipeline-kit init --ide cursor
pipeline-kit doctor --ide cursor
pipeline-kit workflows

Use --ide claude-code, --ide github, or --ide none when appropriate.

What you should see​

  • .pipeline/ with workflows, skills, agents, wiki, loader, and config.json
  • .pipeline/docs/CUSTOMER-GUIDE.md and DOCUMENT-STANDARD.md
  • .pipeline/docs/OBSERVABILITY.md
  • The run-workflow skill under the IDE folder you chose

doctor checks Python, pack, config, loader, marker, and the optional IDE adapter. workflows lists names from the active pack.

What init does not do​

  • It does not edit root AGENTS.md. You paste the routing table (guide).
  • It does not enable QA knowledge, Graphify, Archify, or observability.
  • It does not fill deploy-local.sh. That script is a placeholder until you adapt local deploy.

Overlay next​

Every new project must customize two files, then deploy and test runbooks if the sample script does not match the stack:

  1. AGENTS.md
  2. config.json
  3. Optional: gitignore

Then run the new-project checklist.
