Documentation

README

Excerpt

"set up / initialize / configure absolute"). Start your first response with the ⚙️ emoji.

Absolute Init

One-time setup. Detect the project's real conventions, ask a few questions about how you want absolute to behave, then write that to JSON config the other ten commands read on every run. Result: commands stop re-detecting your stack from scratch and respect your preferences (output style, gating, TDD strictness) without being told each time.

This is the only command that writes config. It is non-destructive: an existing config is shown and updated, never blindly overwritten. It never commits.

When to use
