The /init command has a significantly expanded multi-phase workflow (gated behind the CLAUDE_CODE_NEW_INIT environment variable):
- Phase 1: Choose between project CLAUDE.md, personal CLAUDE.local.md, or both
- Phase 2: Codebase exploration (build/test commands, frameworks, project structure)
- Phase 3: Gap-fill interview with the user, synthesize proposals for hooks/skills/notes
- Phase 4: Write minimal, high-signal CLAUDE.md
- Phase 5: Write personal CLAUDE.local.md (added to
.gitignore) - Phase 6: Suggest and create skills in
.claude/skills/ - Phase 7: Suggest optimizations (GitHub CLI, linting, format-on-edit hooks)
- Phase 8: Summary with plugin recommendations (skill-creator, frontend-design, playwright)
Evidence
Multi-phase flow (search for "Phase 1: Ask what to set up") and env var gate (search for "CLAUDE_CODE_NEW_INIT")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
