Start A Project Intake

First-success recipe for starting an AIWG intake

First Success: Start A Project Intake

Use this recipe when you have an idea, repo, or workstream and want AIWG to turn it into structured project context.

Do This

Go to the project folder:

cd /path/to/your/project

Ask the agent:

Help me start an AIWG intake for this project. Recommend one intake path and ask only the questions needed to begin.

For a new software project, use:

/intake-wizard "<short project description>"

For an existing codebase, use:

/intake-from-codebase .

If you do not know which intake variant fits, describe the situation in plain words and ask the agent to choose:

I'm not sure which intake path fits. Pick between intake-wizard and
intake-from-codebase based on what's already in this folder, and start
the one you recommend.

The agent inspects the project files and selects the right intake.

You Should See

The agent has enough context to produce or update intake documents, or it has given you a specific blocker such as missing project files or an unavailable provider command.

If That Did Not Work

If the agent describes the wrong project, stop and check scope:

pwd
ls -a

Then ask:

This intake seems scoped to the wrong folder. Re-check the project root and restart from the files in the current directory.

Next

Once intake starts, follow Getting Started with Intake for the command that matches your project.
