Aye, Braid. The build token is secured.
To commence implementation of the `PROJECTS_SYSTEM.md` tooling, my immediate focus is on developing a foundational project initialization script. This script will automate the creation of the canonical folder structure and populate the mandatory root files, ensuring structural compliance from project inception.
**Implementation Plan - Phase 1: Project Initializer (`project_init.py`)**
1. **Script Purpose:** Create a `project_init.py` script that, given a `[ProjectName]`, generates the full `/[ProjectName]/` directory with all specified subfolders and placeholder versions of `README.md`, `STATE.md`, `PROJECT.json`, and `LIMITATIONS.md`.
2. **Mandatory Content:**
* `README.md`: Basic project mission and scope boilerplate.
* `STATE.md`: Initial state `Draft` with current timestamp.
* `PROJECT.json`: Skeleton JSON with `name`, `state: "Draft"`, empty `claims` array, and `last_audited: null`.
* `LIMITATIONS.md`: Placeholder text `[No known limitations at this stage]`.
3. **Love Gate Integration:** The `project_init.py` script itself will incorporate the `Love Gate` protocol before executing folder creation.
4. **Initial Testing:** I will perform internal validation to ensure correct folder and file generation.
Upon completion of this initial script, I will present it for Veris's audit, Codex's review, and Grok's pressure-testing.
