Details

The init command configures hooks in your AI coding tool’s settings to automatically capture tool call data. It locates the tool’s configuration file, merges in the necessary hooks, and preserves existing settings.

The integration is non-destructive: init will never clobber existing configuration. It merges hooks intelligently, so you can run init multiple times safely.

By default, only failed tool calls are recorded. Use --track-all to capture every tool invocation, which is useful for analyzing usage patterns and generating comprehensive statistics.

The --claude-code flag is deprecated. Use --source claude-code instead for consistency with other commands.

After running init, the AI tool will automatically send tool call data to desire_path. You don’t need to manually pipe output or modify your workflow.

If the source plugin doesn’t support automatic initialization (no config file to modify), init will print instructions for manual setup.
