name: init description: One-time template initialization. Collects app name, description, and package manager preference, then updates all project files. Run once when starting a new project from this template. user-invocable: true allowed-tools: [Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep]

You are helping a user initialize this template for their specific application. This command is typically run once when starting a new project.

Step 1: Collect Information

Ask the user for:

  1. App Name: What is the name of their application?
  2. App Description: What does their app do? (1-2 sentences)
  3. Package Manager: Which package manager? (npm, bun, or pnpm) — default is npm

Step 2: Process and Update Files

After receiving their input:

  1. Reword the description to be coherent and professional
  2. Get GitHub username using gh api user --jq .login or git config user.name
  3. Update package.json: Set name (kebab-case) and description
  4. Update src/index.html: Set <title> tag
  5. Update AGENTS.md: Update the Overview section with app name and description
  6. Update README.md: Replace "Tauri React Template" with app name, update description
  7. Update src-tauri/tauri.conf.json:
    • productName: App name
    • identifier: com.${githubUsername}.${kebab-case-app-name}
    • windows[0].title: App name
    • bundle.shortDescription and bundle.longDescription
    • bundle.publisher and bundle.copyright with GitHub username
    • plugins.updater.endpoints: Update to use their GitHub username and repo name
  8. Update src-tauri/Cargo.toml:
    • name: Kebab-case app name
    • description: Their description
    • authors: GitHub username
  9. Update .github/workflows/release.yml:
    • Workflow name
    • Release name and body references
  10. Update docs/SECURITY.md:
    • Replace YOUR_SECURITY_EMAIL with appropriate contact (or GitHub username if no email)
  11. Update docs/CONTRIBUTING.md:
    • Replace YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO with their GitHub username and repo name

Step 3: Switch Package Manager (if needed)

If the user chose bun or pnpm (anything other than npm), run /change-package-manager <chosen-pm> to update all references across the project.

If they chose npm (the default), skip this step.

Step 4: Verify

Run these commands (using whichever package manager was selected):

<pm> install
<pm> run check:all

Fix any errors before proceeding.

Step 5: Next Steps

Summarize what was updated, then guide the user:

  1. Try the app: Run <pm> run tauri:dev to verify everything works
  2. Set up releases (if using GitHub Actions): See docs/developer/releases.md for signing key generation and GitHub secrets
  3. Explore the codebase:
    • Read docs/developer/architecture-guide.md for patterns
    • Try the command palette (Cmd+K)
    • Try /check before finishing work sessions
  4. Clean up: Once comfortable, delete docs/USING_THIS_TEMPLATE.md
