/deepest:setup

One-time initialization for a project that will use deepest-plan artifacts.

Idempotent — safe to run repeatedly. Skips work that's already done.

Steps

1. Create directories if missing:

   • ./.planning/
   • ./e2e-evidence/

2. Update .gitignore — add these entries if not present:

   e2e-evidence/
   .planning/synthesis/candidates/
   .planning/synthesis/reports/
   

   (.planning/ itself IS committed so plans are reviewed in PRs.)

3. Write .planning/state.json if missing:

   {
     "active_phase": null,
     "completed_phases": [],
     "last_preflight_verdict": null
   }
   

4. Write e2e-evidence/README.md (one-time) explaining the dir is for auto-generated validation evidence and is gitignored.

5. Report what was created vs what already existed.

Do NOT

• Run /deepest:validate or any other execution command
• Touch existing files (this is a scaffolder, not a migrator)
• Modify package.json or install dependencies
