# Initialize Autonomous Agent Set up the autonomous agent for this project. This creates the per-project state directory, configures the project for session-based work, and optionally activates hermits. **`AskUserQuestion` convention — applies to every question in this skill, both branches.** Each question needs 2-4 `options` (Other is auto-provided for free text), and each option needs both a `label` and a `description`; a bare label is rejected as an invalid tool parameter. Where a step lists options as bare labels (the tables in Step 5a, the activation prompts), write a short description for each before sending the call. ## Plan ### 1. Check if already initialized Check whether `.claude-code-hermit/config.json` exists in the current project. That file (written at Step 5) is the authoritative "already initialized" signal — not the bare presence of the `.claude-code-hermit/` directory. An empty `state/` tree or a half-written tree left by an aborted prior run both count as **not** initialized. - If `.claude-code-hermit/config.json` exists: inform the operator that the agent is already initialized. Ask if they want to reinitialize (which resets templates but preserves sessions, proposals, config, and OPERATOR.md). Record the choice as `is_reinit` (true if operator opted to reinitialize). - Otherwise: `is_reinit = false`, proceed with initialization. ### 1.5. Pre-flight (silent — no operator interaction) Before the setup-mode gate or any file writes, gather context sil...
