rad init

Run initialization from the repository you want Radforge to analyze.

Terminal window
rad init --dry-run
rad init

The command checks project files for supported TypeScript and Python setups. It can install required packages, add .radforge/ to .gitignore, and install the bundled Radforge agent skill. It does not submit a mutation run.

Use --language typescript or --language python when Radforge cannot choose a language. --language mixed prepares both, but each hosted run must contain only TypeScript/JavaScript or only Python sources.

Use --target repo, --target user, or --target both to choose where the coding-agent skills are installed. repo writes to .agents/skills/radforge/ and .claude/skills/radforge/. user writes to the same directories under your home directory.

--dry-run shows changes without writing files. --yes skips prompts only when Radforge selects exactly one supported setup. Use --json for scripts, and review package and file changes before committing them.
