At a glance

Use only when explicitly invoked as lamina-init. An agent skill from aryaniyaps/lamina.

  • SKILL.md covers Evidence artifacts, Canonical graph, Update mode and Completion
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Lamina Init is an agent skill from aryaniyaps/lamina. Use only when explicitly invoked as lamina-init. Establish business evidence and canonical Product, Actor, and Persona resources in Lamina's transactional graph.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: Headless product design for AI coding agents, backed by a transactional product graph | Design how it works, verify what you ship. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/lamina-init”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af269ef. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Lamina Init loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use only when explicitly invoked as lamina-init. Establish business evidence and canonical Product, Actor, and Persona resources in Lamina's transactional graph.

/lamina-init

Before any evidence or graph mutation, read and apply ../lamina/orchestrator/prerequisites/cli-required.md.

Read ../lamina/orchestrator/audit-profiles.yaml. Load the init.always references, then only those init.conditional references whose when signal is present. For each selected entry, open the named capability SKILL.md and then its exact reference; do not load sibling topics.

For a directory that is not yet a Git project, initialize Git metadata as specified by that prerequisite before writing evidence. Do not ask for or create an initial commit.

Init writes evidence files only under .lamina/ and canonical knowledge through graphd. It never edits application source.

Evidence artifacts

Write .lamina/business-context.md with frontmatter containing lamina.maturity, platform, and last_updated, followed by exactly these non-placeholder sections: Problem statement, Business goals, Success metrics, Scope, Users & market, Product posture, Constraints, Stakeholders, Risks & unknowns, Research posture, Triad check.

Write .lamina/personas.json as evidence-source JSON with evidence-grounded personas. Goals, constraints, and evidence are arrays. Do not invent demographics. These files are indexable evidence, not canonical graph state.

Run the shipped init/persona validators when available, then lamina graph observe so CocoIndex produces explicit source Observation envelopes. The CLI automatically replaces an incompatible graphd and retries observation once; do not repeatedly rebuild observations to repair daemon compatibility.

If observation exits nonzero after that recovery, treat observation as degraded and optional. Core graph initialization may continue, but do not create Evidence Resources or attach evidence claims for the unavailable snapshot. Do not describe aliases, observation view names, or generation labels as evidence.

When observation succeeds, use observed.resource_ids from its output (or the exact Resource.id values returned by querying that active observation view) as graph evidence. Never substitute a path alias, source key, view name, or generation for an Observation Resource id.

Canonical graph

Start one explicit session. Propose:

  • one inferred Product Resource proposal grounded in the user's explicit product intent;
  • every evidence-grounded Persona as a Persona Resource;
  • corresponding Actor Resources when authority/ownership is known;
  • lamina:canAssume Statements between Personas and Actors;
  • Evidence Resources referencing the relevant source observations.

Publish atomically. Agents must not submit epistemic class or approval. Never cap Personas. Record the actual returned Resource ids for Product, Personas, Actors, and Evidence; generated canonical Resources normally use res_* ids. Do not report input aliases as ids.

All agent-accessible proposal methods use inferred ingress, including claim.add. Never select an epistemic class by choosing a method name. Intended knowledge requires a trusted engine-owned intent ingress; until that ingress supplies it, preserve the user's words as provenance and keep the proposal inferred.

Update mode

Merge changed business evidence, append a dated changelog, rerun observations, and propose new Statements or aliases without replacing stable Resource identity. Preserve conflicting valid facts as Contradictions.

Completion

Report canonical graph initialization and observation as separate outcomes. Always report the GraphVersion, source revision, actual Product/Persona/Actor Resource ids, contradictions, and evidence gaps. Install or refresh passive provider rules with lamina setup --agent <provider>, then state that future ordinary product requests automatically prepare graph-backed implementation context, complete design gaps, implement, and verify. Do not recommend another slash command.

Only report observation coverage and Observation Resource ids when lamina graph observe exited zero and its completion checks passed. After a nonzero observation command, report observation as degraded/unavailable and explicitly state that the published GraphVersion has no current observation-backed evidence. Never claim complete observation coverage on that path.
