<objective> Initialize a new FIRE project by detecting workspace type and setting up standards. </objective> <triggers> - User runs `/specsmd-fire` on uninitialized project - No `.specs-fire/state.yaml` exists </triggers> <flow> <step n="1" title="Welcome"> <output> Welcome to FIRE (Fast Intent-Run Engineering).

  Let me analyze your project to get started.
</output>

</step> <step n="2" title="Detect Workspace"> <action>Analyze project root for existing code</action> <check if="src/ or app/ or main entry points exist"> <set>workspace.type = brownfield</set> </check> <check if="minimal files, no source directories"> <set>workspace.type = greenfield</set> </check> </step> <step n="3a" title="Brownfield Setup" if="workspace.type == brownfield"> <output> Existing project detected. I'll analyze your codebase to infer standards. </output> <action>Detect tech stack (language, framework, database)</action> <action>Detect structure (monolith, monorepo)</action> <action>Infer coding patterns</action>

<monorepo_detection>
  Check for monorepo indicators:
  - nx.json, turbo.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, lerna.json, rush.json
  - package.json with "workspaces" field
  - Cargo.toml with [workspace] section
  - go.work file
  - Multiple independent package/dependency manifests
  - Common patterns: packages/*, apps/*, services/*, libs/*

  If any indicator found → workspace.structure = "monorepo"
</monorepo_detection>

<output>
  Here's what I found:

  **Tech Stack**: {detected_tech}
  **Structure**: {detected_structure}
  **Patterns**: {detected_patterns}

  Does this look accurate? [Y/n/edit]
</output>

</step> <step n="3b" title="Greenfield Setup" if="workspace.type == greenfield"> <ask> What do you want to build? Tell me about: - What the project does - Target users - Key features </ask> <action>Analyze description, suggest tech stack</action> <output> Based on your description, I suggest:

  **Language**: {suggested_language}
  **Framework**: {suggested_framework}
  **Database**: {suggested_database}

  Accept these suggestions? [Y/n/edit]
</output>

</step> <step n="4" title="Choose Autonomy Level"> <output> How autonomous should FIRE be when executing work items?

  **[1] Autonomous** — AI executes more freely, fewer checkpoints
       (medium complexity → autopilot, high → confirm)

  **[2] Balanced** — Standard checkpoints based on complexity (Recommended)
       (low → autopilot, medium → confirm, high → validate)

  **[3] Controlled** — More human oversight, more checkpoints
       (low → confirm, medium/high → validate)

  Choose [1/2/3]:
</output>
<check if="response == 1">
  <set>workspace.autonomy_bias = autonomous</set>
</check>
<check if="response == 2">
  <set>workspace.autonomy_bias = balanced</set>
</check>
<check if="response == 3">
  <set>workspace.autonomy_bias = controlled</set>
</check>
<note>Can be changed later in .specs-fire/state.yaml</note>

</step> <step n="5" title="Detect Modules" if="workspace.structure == monorepo"> <output> Monorepo detected. Let me find and analyze the modules. </output>

<action>Find module directories by exploring:</action>
<substep>Paths from workspace config (nx.json projects, pnpm-workspace.yaml, etc.)</substep>
<substep>Common patterns: packages/*, apps/*, services/*, libs/*, modules/*</substep>
<substep>Directories with their own dependency manifest</substep>

<action>For each discovered module, analyze (AI-driven, no hardcoded mappings):</action>
<substep>Primary language (from file extensions, config files)</substep>
<substep>Build/test commands (from CI config, package scripts, Makefile)</substep>
<substep>Linter/formatter (from config files in module)</substep>
<substep>Package manager (from lock files, manifests)</substep>

<output>
  Found {{module_count}} modules:

  | Module | Language | Test Command | Linter |
  |--------|----------|--------------|--------|
  {{#each modules}}
  | {{path}} | {{language}} | {{test_cmd}} | {{linter}} |
  {{/each}}

  Create module-specific standards?
  [c] All modules — create standards for all
  [s] Select — choose which modules
  [n] None — I'll create them manually later
</output>

<check if="response == c or response == s">
  <action>For each selected module, create {module}/.specs-fire/standards/tech-stack.md</action>
  <note>Only tech-stack.md by default — other standards inherit from root</note>
