# Pillars Init
This skill bootstraps the [Pillars](https://github.com/hannsxpeter/pillars) standard in a project. It is the recommended entry point: it handles archetype detection, AGENTS.md placement, pillar stub creation, and exclusion list setup in one pass.
## When to use this skill
Trigger when the user wants Pillars set up in their current project. Typical requests:
- "Set up Pillars on this project."
- "Adopt the Pillars standard."
- "Initialize Pillars."
- "Scaffold AGENTS.md and pillars."
- "Install Pillars."
If the user wants to *author a specific pillar* from existing code rather than scaffold the whole standard, prefer `pillars-author`. If they want to *check existing pillars* for drift, prefer `pillars-verify`.
## What this skill produces
After running, the user's project will contain:
```
<project>/
├── AGENTS.md # the protocol description, copied from the Pillars repo
└── agents/
├── context.md # stub, status: stub
├── repo.md # stub, status: stub
├── catalog.yaml # offline metadata for absent concerns
└── <core-pillars>.md # stubs for Tier 1 pillars that apply to this archetype
```
With archetype-appropriate `excluded:` entries in AGENTS.md.
## Procedure
Follow these steps in order. Each step has a specific output the next step depends on.
### Step 0. Confirm intent and check for existing adoption
Before scaffolding anything, check whether the project already has Pillars in place.
```bash
ls AGENT
