init

Initialize SAGA

Initialize the .saga/ directory structure for epic/story workflow management.

Tasks

Subject	Description	Active Form	Blocked By	Blocks
Check existing .saga	Check if .saga/ already exists using ls .saga/ 2>/dev/null. If it exists, report to user: "SAGA is already initialized in this project. The .saga/ directory exists with:" followed by listing contents. Then stop - do not reinitialize. If it doesn't exist, proceed to create structure.	Checking existing structure	-	Create directory structure
Create directory structure	Create the SAGA directory structure using Bash: mkdir -p .saga/epics .saga/stories .saga/archive .saga/worktrees. This creates: (1) .saga/epics/ - for epic definition files, (2) .saga/stories/ - for story data folders (JSON), (3) .saga/archive/ - for completed/archived stories, (4) .saga/worktrees/ - for git worktree isolation during story execution.	Creating directories	Check existing .saga	Update gitignore
Update gitignore	Check if .gitignore exists and if it already contains .saga/worktrees/. Use grep -q '.saga/worktrees/' .gitignore 2>/dev/null to check. If pattern NOT found: append the worktrees pattern to .gitignore using Edit tool. Add a newline, then the comment # SAGA worktrees (git worktree isolation for stories), then .saga/worktrees/ on the next line. If .gitignore doesn't exist, create it with just the comment and pattern. If pattern already exists, skip this step.	Updating .gitignore	Create directory structure	Report completion
Report completion	Report success to the user with the following message: "SAGA initialized successfully!" followed by "Created directory structure:" with bullet points for .saga/epics/ (epic definitions), .saga/stories/ (story data folders, JSON), .saga/archive/ (completed stories), .saga/worktrees/ (worktree isolation, gitignored). Then show "Next steps:" section with: (1) Plan your work: /plan <goal>, (2) Execute a story: /execute-story <story>.	Reporting completion	Update gitignore	-

Completion Message

After initialization, tell the user:

SAGA initialized successfully!

Created directory structure:

• .saga/epics/ - Epic definition files
• .saga/stories/ - Story data folders (JSON)
• .saga/archive/ - Completed/archived stories
• .saga/worktrees/ - Git worktree isolation (gitignored)

Next steps:

1. Plan your work: Use /plan <goal> to collaboratively plan and create stories
2. Execute a story: Use /execute-story <story> to start autonomous story execution

Notes

• The /init command is idempotent - running it again on an initialized project will simply report the existing structure
• The .saga/worktrees/ directory is gitignored because worktrees contain full repo checkouts for story isolation
• All SAGA data (epics, stories, sessions) lives in .saga/ and is committed to the repository (except worktrees)
• The .saga/stories/ directory stores story data as JSON files and is tracked in git
