Initialize GRACE framework structure for this project.

Template Files

All documents MUST be created from template files located in this skill's assets/ directory. Read each template file, replace the $PLACEHOLDER variables with actual values gathered from the user, and write the result to the target project path.

Template source Target in project

assets/AGENTS.md.template

AGENTS.md (project root)

assets/docs/knowledge-graph.xml.template

docs/knowledge-graph.xml

assets/docs/requirements.xml.template

docs/requirements.xml

assets/docs/technology.xml.template

docs/technology.xml

assets/docs/development-plan.xml.template

docs/development-plan.xml

Important: Never hardcode template content inline. Always read from the .template files — they are the single source of truth for document structure.

Steps

Gather project info from the user. Ask for:

• Project name and short annotation

• Main keywords (for domain activation)

• Primary language, runtime, and framework (with versions)

• Key libraries/dependencies (if known)

• High-level module list (if known)

Create docs/ directory and populate documents from templates:

For each assets/docs/*.xml.template file:

• Read the template file

• Replace $PLACEHOLDER variables with user-provided values

• Write the result to the corresponding docs/ path

Create or verify AGENTS.md at project root:

• If AGENTS.md does not exist — read assets/AGENTS.md.template , fill in $KEYWORDS and $ANNOTATION , and write to project root

• If AGENTS.md already exists — warn the user and ask whether to overwrite or keep the existing one

Print a summary of all created files and suggest the next step:

"Run $grace-plan to start the architectural planning phase."
