yolo-init
Make a repo YOLO-ready. Idempotent: safe to re-run as a repair. Rules: `../../yolo/conventions.md`.
Procedure
1. Create `workspace/features/` if missing, with a `.gitkeep`. 2. If `workspace/config.yaml` is missing, copy `../../yolo/templates/config.yaml` there. Set `project.name` to the repo directory name and `project.base_branch` with the detection rule (conventions *base_branch*). If it exists, only fill missing keys; never overwrite a value the user set. 3. Commit (`yolo: init`).
Upgrading from older YOLO
Older versions also created `workspace/decisions/`, `workspace/debug/`, task trailers and a routing block in the project's agent instructions file. Leave existing files alone; they are history. If the user wants the routing block gone, remove the text between the `YOLO:routing-block start` and `end` markers.
Constraints
- Never git-ignore `workspace/`. It has to survive branches and worktrees.
- Writes only project state: `workspace/` and its config.
Ships withyolo
A thin state layer for agent-driven feature work. A feature is a short brief plus a git branch, and its status is derived from git every time you ask. Nothing is stored, so nothing drifts. YOLO doesn't tell your agent how to plan, build or review.
