Caveman Init

description: Drop the always-on caveman activation rule into the current repo for every IDE agent argument-hint: "[--dry-run|--force] [--only ]"

Write the per-repo caveman rule files (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, AGENTS.md) into the current repo, then report the result.

How to run the init script — pick the first that applies:

  1. If src/tools/caveman-init.js exists in the current repo (you are inside a caveman checkout), run: node src/tools/caveman-init.js $ARGUMENTS
  2. Otherwise download and run the standalone script (it is self-contained and supports stdin execution): curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/main/src/tools/caveman-init.js | node - $ARGUMENTS

Use --dry-run first if the user did not pass --force, so we never silently overwrite an existing rule file.
