What happens if I don't have the GitHub CLI (gh) installed?

The setup will report a SKIP status for GitHub features. Core journaling and task tracking will still function, but issue synchronization will be unavailable.

Where is the project data stored?

The skill creates a hidden directory at .claude/journal/ and .claude/tasks/ within your project root to keep all session data local and private.

Do I need SQLite installed to use this skill?

Yes, SQLite3 is a mandatory requirement as it is used to store your session journals and task tracking data locally within your project.

Will running this setup overwrite my existing project data?

No, the tool only initializes the database if it is missing. It will not overwrite existing data unless you explicitly use the --force argument.

Why is the .gitignore check important?

The check ensures your local SQLite database is not tracked by Git, preventing private session history or local metadata from being committed to shared repositories.

Productivity & Workflow

Initializes and verifies the local database and directory structure required for the Claude Code workflow toolkit.

This skill serves as the essential bootstrap tool for the workflow-toolkit plugin, ensuring all necessary local prerequisites are correctly configured for advanced session management. It automates the creation of the SQLite journal database, sets up the project-specific directory structure, and performs comprehensive health checks on dependencies like the GitHub CLI and Node.js. By validating your environment and providing clear readiness reports, it ensures that features like task tracking, session journaling, and GitHub synchronization function seamlessly from the very first command.
