Init Solo

init_solo

Create a Solo-mode FCoP project for single-agent: sets up v3 lifecycle directories, workspace, shared agent docs, and protocol rules, archiving existing files.

Instructions

Initialize an FCoP project in Solo mode (one AI, no dispatch).

Solo mode is for projects where a single agent works directly with ADMIN. Rule 0.b still applies: the agent uses files to split itself into proposer and reviewer, even though there is no second role.

Since 3.0.2 fresh init produces the v3 topology (per spec §1.1): fcop/_lifecycle/{inbox,active,review,done,archive}/ plus retained reports/ / issues/ / shared/. Superseded v2 buckets (tasks/, log/) are no longer created on fresh init.

Beyond fcop.json and the canonical directories, this also deposits fcop/LETTER-TO-ADMIN.md (the user manual), creates the workspace/ cage with a starter README (per Rule 7.5), deploys the bundled solo three-layer docs (TEAM-README / TEAM-ROLES / TEAM-OPERATING-RULES + roles/ME.md, both zh and en) to docs/agents/shared/, and (per ADR-0006) drops the bundled protocol rules into .cursor/rules/*.mdc + AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md. Existing copies are archived under .fcop/migrations/<timestamp>/ before being overwritten.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
langNoOutput language, ``zh`` or ``en``.zh
forceNoWhen ``True``, overwrite an already-initialized project. All previous artifacts (config, letter, workspace README, ``shared/`` docs, protocol rule files) are archived under ``.fcop/migrations/<timestamp>/`` before the new content lands. Use this when ADMIN wants to switch from team mode back to solo, or re-init solo with a different ``role_code``. Default: ``False``.
role_codeNoThe single role code (uppercase letters / digits / underscore, must start with a letter; ``ADMIN`` and ``SYSTEM`` are reserved). Default: ``ME``.ME
role_labelNoDisplay label (e.g. ``"我自己"``). Currently recorded in ``extra`` for future use; the library does not yet consume it. Safe to omit.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and meets it. It discloses the v3 topology, that v2 buckets are no longer created, the exact deposited files, and that existing copies are archived under .fcop/migrations before being overwritten. This is unusually transparent for a mutating init tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is long but front-loaded with the core purpose and mode before the artifact list. The detail is earned by the tool's broad side effects, though a few clauses are slightly redundant (e.g., 'one AI, no dispatch' vs. 'single agent').

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description is complete about outputs and side effects, and an output schema exists so return-value details are not required. However, it does not state whether set_project_dir or a particular working directory is a prerequisite, which is a real gap for an initialization tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level detail beyond the schema; it mentions role_code and force only incidentally, not with new semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Initialize an FCoP project in Solo mode.' It adds mode detail ('one AI, no dispatch') and lists concrete deliverables, which distinguishes it from generic team/init siblings without needing to inspect schemas.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It says solo mode is for projects where a single agent works directly with ADMIN, giving clear selection context. It does not explicitly name alternatives or say when not to use it, so it stops short of full when/when-not guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
