Initialize Skene Configuration

Set up Skene automatically. The user runs /skene-init, everything gets configured, and they see a one-line summary. Zero questions unless something is genuinely missing and cannot be inferred.

Config reference: Configuration guide.

Design principle

Make init invisible. Detect everything from existing config, env vars, and user-level config. Only ask the user if the agent truly cannot figure it out (e.g. API key missing everywhere).

Steps

  1. Discover CLI options Run uvx skene config --help to see what flags are available. Use only flags that appear in the output.

  2. Check what already exists (run in parallel where possible):

    • ls .skene.config 2>/dev/null — project config
    • ls ~/.config/skene/config 2>/dev/null — user-level config
    • echo n | uvx skene config --show — full resolved config (piped to avoid blocking)
