init

Detects your project and generates Claude Code config that fits. No templates, no menus — it reads your manifest files and figures it out.

claude-launchpad init

Flags

With --yes, /lp-enhance installation defaults to project scope (unless already installed).

What it writes

Always writes these files, and creates additional files only when they do not already exist:

• CLAUDE.md — stack, commands, conventions, guardrails, memory management instructions
• TASKS.md — sprint tracking, session continuity, deferred issues
• settings.json — $schema, credential deny rules (~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.npmrc), sandbox enabled, bypass mode disabled, hooks for .env protection + destructive command blocking + auto-format + sprint review + SessionStart + PostCompact
• .gitignore — prevents local settings, plans, memory from being committed
• .claudeignore — language-specific ignore patterns
• lp-enhance skill — AI-powered CLAUDE.md improver. Installed during init in either project scope (.claude/skills/lp-enhance/SKILL.md) or global scope (~/.claude/skills/lp-enhance/SKILL.md) when not already present.
• conventions.md — language-specific starter rules

Sprint review hook

Init generates a PostToolUse hook that watches for edits to TASKS.md. When all tasks in the current sprint are checked off, it nudges Claude to do a quick quality check before committing:

• Scans for unchecked - [ ] items under ## Current Sprint
• When zero remain and at least one - [x] exists, outputs a review nudge
• Claude decides whether to act on it or skip if the changes are trivial
• Works across long sessions with multiple sprints, even after context compaction

The nudge is a suggestion, not a gate. Claude can ignore it for docs-only or config-only changes.
