init

content-ops setup wizard. Run /init to see status, or /init [round] to run a setup step. Rounds: project, content-types, style, strategy, infra, images, link-building.

Interactive setup wizard for content-ops. Configures the plugin for your project through a guided conversation.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS


Step 0: Route

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  • Empty → Run the Status Dashboard (below)
  • project → Read skills/init/rounds/project.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • content-types → Read skills/init/rounds/content-types.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • style → Read skills/init/rounds/style.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • strategy → Read skills/init/rounds/strategy.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • infra → Read skills/init/rounds/infra.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • images → Read skills/init/rounds/images.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • link-building → Read skills/init/rounds/link-building.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • backlog-suggester → Read skills/init/rounds/backlog-suggester.md (relative to plugin root) and follow its instructions completely
  • Unknown argument → Tell the user the valid options: project, content-types, style, strategy, infra, images, link-building, backlog-suggester

After completing any round, always end with a short "What's next?" line pointing to the next incomplete round.


Status Dashboard

Only runs when $ARGUMENTS is empty.

1. Detect project basics

Try to read package.json → extract name. Try to read .content-ops/config.md → parse YAML frontmatter.

2. Determine round completion

RoundComplete when
projectauthor, default_language, and languages are all set
content-typescontent_types has at least one entry with a path
stylereference_content has at least one entry AND at least one guidelines path in content_types resolves to an existing file
strategycontent_strategy is set AND that file exists on disk
infrathe backlog_file path exists AND the translation_tracker_file path exists
imagesimage_generation key is present and uncommented in config AND image_generation.guidelines file exists on disk
link-buildinglink_building key is present and uncommented in config AND link_building.guide file exists on disk
backlog-suggesterbacklog_suggester key is present and uncommented in config

If .content-ops/config.md does not exist: all rounds are incomplete.

Commented-out sections = not started. When checking images, link-building, and backlog-suggester, read the raw file content (not just the parsed YAML). If every line of the section is prefixed with #, treat it as not started (⬜). Only mark it started (🔄) or complete (✅) once at least one line is uncommented.

Use 🔄 (started) when the config file exists but only some required fields for that round are set.

3. Output

## content-ops — Setup Status

Site:   [name from package.json, or "—"]
Config: .content-ops/config.md ([found | not found])

✅ /init project           — [one-line summary, e.g. "en + it, author set"]
🔄 /init content-types     — [what's done and what's missing]
⬜ /init style             — not started
⬜ /init strategy          — not started
⬜ /init infra             — not started
⬜ /init images            — not started
⬜ /init link-building     — not started
⬜ /init backlog-suggester — not started

→ Next: /init [first incomplete round]

What each step does:
  project           — Set author, languages, and project description
  content-types     — Define content types (articles, glossary, etc.)
  style             — Build your voice, tone, and style guide
  strategy          — Define content pillars and editorial plan
  infra             — Set up trackers, localization guides, and file-based content index (via /reindex)
  images            — Configure image generation: style, color palette, placement rules
  link-building     — Define your internal and external linking strategy and conventions
  backlog-suggester — Configure the automated content gap detector and /suggest-content
