agent-init

Bootstrap repositories with Meraki agent infrastructure.

Installation

npm install -g @meraki-digital/agent-init

Or use directly without installing:

npx @meraki-digital/agent-init

Usage

Run in any repository you want to bootstrap:

cd your-project
agent-init

The tool will:

1. Check for meraki-standards as a sibling directory
2. Clone it if missing (with your permission)
3. Ask a few questions about your setup preferences
4. Create the agent infrastructure:
   • AGENTS.md (symlinked from meraki-standards)
   • PROJECT.md (project-specific, you fill this in)
   • .agents/skills/ or .claude/skills/ (symlinked)
   • agentic/prd/ structure (optional)

Options

--copy    Copy files instead of symlinking (Windows fallback)
--update  Pull latest meraki-standards and verify symlinks
--help    Show help message

Updating

After initial setup, run --update to pull the latest standards:

agent-init --update

This will:

1. Pull latest changes to meraki-standards
2. Verify all symlinks are intact
3. Report any issues

Windows

On Windows, symlinks require Developer Mode enabled. The tool will detect this and provide instructions, or you can use --copy to copy files instead.

Project Structure After Init
