Initialize ArcKit project structure for enterprise architecture governance
74 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Beginner

Key capabilities

  • Initialize project directory structure
  • Create global policies directory
  • Create external reference directory
  • Provide next steps for architecture governance

How it works

The skill checks for an existing projects directory and creates the required global policies and external reference subdirectories.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Current working directory
You get back
projects/000-global/policies/ and projects/000-global/external/ directories

When to use arckit-init

  • Initialize a new ArcKit project
  • Setup enterprise governance directory structure
  • Prepare workspace for ArcKit principles analysis

ArcKit Project Initialization

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  1. Check if project structure already exists:

    • Look for projects/ directory in the current working directory
    • If it exists, inform the user and ask if they want to continue
  2. Create the project structure:

    • Create directories projects/000-global/policies/ and projects/000-global/external/ (these will be created automatically when saving files with the Write tool, or use Bash mkdir if needed)
  3. Provide next steps:

ArcKit project structure initialized:

projects/
├── 000-global/
│   ├── policies/   (organization-wide policies)
│   └── external/   (external reference documents)

Next steps:
1. Run $arckit-principles to create architecture principles
2. Run $arckit-stakeholders to analyze stakeholders for a project
3. Run $arckit-requirements to create requirements

Individual projects will be created automatically in numbered directories (001-*, 002-*).

How it compares

It automates the creation of a specific enterprise architecture directory layout instead of requiring manual folder setup.
