init - Initialize reference tracking

Initialize reference and research tracking for the current project.

What it does

1. Create tracking files:

   • Creates ./CLAUDE_SOURCES.md (empty, pure KV format)
   • Creates ./CLAUDE_PROMPTS.md (with header)
   • If files exist, leaves them unchanged

2. Create .claude/ directory structure:

   • Creates ./.claude/ directory if missing
   • Creates ./.claude/.ref-config with default settings:

     PROMPTS_VERBOSITY=major
     SOURCES_VERBOSITY=all
     

   • Note: Does NOT create .ref-autotrack marker (use /track:auto to enable)

3. Check skill availability:

   • Verifies ref-tracker skill is available
   • Reports status

4. Show setup summary:

   • Files created/existing
   • Auto-tracking status (disabled by default)
   • Config location
   • Next steps

Default configuration

After init, tracking is disabled by default. Configuration file contains these defaults:

• Sources: Track all WebSearch/WebFetch operations (when enabled)
• Prompts: Track major academic/development work only (when enabled)

Use /track:auto to enable auto-tracking.

Next steps

After running /track:init:

• Use /track:update to scan recent history
• Use /track:config to adjust verbosity settings
• Use /track:auto to toggle auto-tracking on/off
• Use /track:help for detailed documentation
