New Initiative

Create a new initiative with proper folder structure.

Process

1. Gather Information

Ask for or infer:

• Goal: What are we trying to accomplish?
• Scope: What's in/out of scope?
• Completion criteria: How do we know when it's done?
• State: Start in active/ or backlog/?

2. Create Folder Structure

mkdir -p docs/workspace/initiatives/[state]/[initiative-name]/sessions

3. Create INITIATIVE.md

Write docs/workspace/initiatives/[state]/[initiative-name]/INITIATIVE.md:

---
title: [Initiative Name]
created: [today's date]
status: [active|backlog]
---

# [Initiative Name]

## Goal

[What we're trying to accomplish and why]

## Scope

**In scope:**
- [Item 1]
- [Item 2]

**Out of scope:**
- [Item explicitly excluded]

## Completion Criteria

- [ ] [Criterion 1]
- [ ] [Criterion 2]
- [ ] [Criterion 3]
- [ ] Documentation updated

## Current Status

[Initial status - typically "Not started" or "Starting initial design"]

## Quick Links

- [Sessions](sessions/)

4. Optional: Create Initial Plan

For complex initiatives, ask if upfront design is needed.

If yes, create plans/ folder and initial plan document.

5. Confirm Creation

## Initiative Created

**Location:** `docs/workspace/initiatives/[state]/[name]/`
**Status:** [active|backlog]

**Structure:**

[name]/ ├── INITIATIVE.md └── sessions/

**Next:** [Suggest starting first session if active, or note it's in backlog]

Promoting from Idea

If user references an existing idea:

1. Read the idea file from docs/workspace/ideas/
2. Use its content to populate the initiative
3. Ask if the idea file should be deleted
