repo-init

Initialize a repository with a standard, opinionated project structure. Run once per project. Re-running (or running on an existing repo) **adds missing pieces only** — it never overwrites or repairs existing files. **The intake is a hard gate.** Create nothing — no directories, no files, not even `git init` — until the step-2 intake is either completed with the user or skipped by an explicit flag (`--no-grill` / `--dry-run`). Scaffolding first and asking later defeats the skill: the answers determine what gets scaffolded. ## File templates (loaded at runtime) ```!
