# Init Vault — Scaffold a Fresh Infinite Brain You are creating a new Infinite Brain vault from scratch in the current directory. This skill is a pure scaffolder: it stamps out the folder structure, `_system/` files, template, and example nodes. The entry point for setting up ib — whether in a fresh directory or an existing repo — is `/setup-ib`, which classifies the directory, decides the vault location, collects defaults, and invokes this skill as one of its steps. ## Steps 1. Determine the namespace and the document language. If they were already provided (e.g. this skill was invoked from `/setup-ib` with both decided), use them and don't re-ask. Otherwise ask: "What namespace should this vault start with? (e.g. 'personal', 'work', 'research')" and "Which language should node content be written in? (e.g. 'English', '한국어 (Korean)')". The document language sets the language of all human-readable node content (titles, summaries, bodies, edge notes); the structural vocabulary — frontmatter keys, node/edge type names, visibility values, `id` slugs, namespaces, tags, folder names — always stays in canonical English (see the Document Language section in `vault-agents-template.md`). 2. Create the 17 root folders: `pillars decisions concepts questions playbooks tasks events patterns hypotheses facts sources bookmarks notes contacts references custom raw _system _templates` 3. Create `.gitkeep` in each empty folder so git tracks them. 4. Create `_system/` files. **Do not writ
