# Power — Initialize or Prime the Orchestration Brain This skill makes Aesop work in ANY repository — either initializing a new codebase for the first time (init-prime) or loading an already-primed project's rules and state. **Core principle**: All orchestration rules live on disk as readable `.md` files. This skill reads them, internalizes them, and reports a compact "primed" summary — enabling autonomous dispatch under the loaded rules. **Prerequisites**: Before running `/power`, the Aesop harness must be installed in the repository. Use the CLI to scaffold: ```bash # Scaffold the Aesop harness (daemons, skills, tools, hooks) into your repo npx @matt82198/aesop . --name "my-project" # or run `npx @matt82198/aesop --help` for more options ``` The CLI automatically installs git hooks, copies all necessary directories, and generates initial config files. Then run `/power` to prime the orchestration brain. --- ## Quick Start: Two Paths ### Path 1: First Time? (Init-Prime) If the target repository has **no CLAUDE.md layer** (i.e., no project-root `CLAUDE.md`, no domain `CLAUDE.md` units): 1. Run `/power` in the repository root (after CLI setup above) 2. Aesop will **automatically**: - Fan out read-only Haiku explorers to scan the codebase (briefs only, never raw dumps) - Write a project-root `CLAUDE.md` (purpose, build/run commands, gotchas) - Write smallest self-contained **domain `CLAUDE.md` units** (module layout, key contracts, invariants) - Write a `STAT
