Command definition
caveman-init.mddescription: Drop the always-on caveman activation rule into the current repo for every IDE agent argument-hint: "[--dry-run|--force] [--only <agent>]"
Write the per-repo caveman rule files (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, AGENTS.md) into the current repo, then report the result.
How to run the init script — pick the first that applies:
1. If `src/tools/caveman-init.js` exists in the current repo (you are inside a caveman checkout), run: `node src/tools/caveman-init.js $ARGUMENTS` 2. Otherwise download and run the standalone script (it is self-contained and supports stdin execution): `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/main/src/tools/caveman-init.js | node - $ARGUMENTS`
Use `--dry-run` first if the user did not pass `--force`, so we never silently overwrite an existing rule file.
