papyrus-init

papyrus-init

Initialize one Papyrus workspace at a filesystem path. Idempotent.

Atomicity

• (a) Indivisible: single operation (create dir + conf.py + memory/*.rst skeletons)
• (b) Input: path: Path. Output: workspace directory exists with expected files
• (c) Objective reward: (path / "conf.py").is_file() and (path / "memory" / "facts.rst").is_file()
• (d) Reusable: invoked per workspace in a chain (silos = 1×, program = 2×, enterprise = 3×)
• (e) No interference: operates on a single path; multi-workspace setup is composition

Input / Output

input:  path (filesystem path, absolute or relative)
output: side effect — workspace scaffold at path
        stdout: "Initialized Papyrus workspace at <path>"
        exit: 0

Success criterion

After invocation:

test -f <path>/conf.py && test -f <path>/memory/facts.rst

Exit code 0 = success.

Workflow

papyrus init .papyrus

For multi-workspace (composition):

papyrus init .papyrus
papyrus init ../program-papyrus
# Then write papyrus.toml to declare the chain.

Composition examples

• Setup silos project: papyrus-init × 1
• Setup program project: papyrus-init × 2 (local + program)
• Setup enterprise: papyrus-init × 3 (local + program + org)
