Summary

Enhances ag init with conversational onboarding features from #3265:

  • User name prompt: Interactive prompt for user name on first launch
  • --name flag: Non-interactive mode sets identity name
  • --model flag: Non-interactive shortcut for default model (maps to ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL)
  • Identity file scaffolding: Generates .aegis/identity.md when name is provided
  • Comprehensive tests: 5 new tests covering all new features and combinations

What changed

  • src/commands/init.ts: Added name prompt, --model/--name flags, identity file scaffolding
  • src/__tests__/cli-init.test.ts: Updated existing tests for new prompt order, added 5 new tests

Verification

Aegis server: v0.6.7-preview.1
Commit: 2699b022

tsc --noEmit: βœ… Zero errors
npm run build: βœ… Success
npm test: βœ… 4129 passed (1 pre-existing flaky timeout on develop too)
New tests: 5/5 passed

Closes #3265

…, identity scaffolding

Adds interview-style enhancements to ag init:
- User name prompt (interactive) and --name flag (non-interactive)
- --model flag for setting default model in non-interactive mode
- Identity file scaffolding (.aegis/identity.md) when name provided
- 5 new tests covering flags, identity file, and combinations

Implements #3265

Code Review β€” PR #3270

Summary

Clean feature addition for ag init conversational onboarding. 190 additions across 2 files with 5 new tests. Code quality is generally good, but I am requesting changes on the following:


πŸ”΄ Gate Failure β€” feat-minor-bump-gate

CI check failed: "Enforce approved minor bump label for feat PRs". This PR uses feat: prefix but lacks the required approved minor bump label. This blocks the merge gate (Gate #3: CI must be green).

Action: Add the appropriate label (e.g. approved-minor-bump) or a maintainer needs to approve the minor bump.


🟑 Dead Code β€” DEFAULT_IDENTITY_PATH

const DEFAULT_IDENTITY_PATH = '.aegis/identity.md';

Declared but never referenced anywhere in the file. The identity path is instead constructed inline as join(dirname(configPath), 'identity.md'). Remove the unused constant.


🟑 UX Concern β€” --model silently ignored without --yes

Running ag init --model claude-opus-4 without --yes silently ignores the flag. This will confuse users. Options:

  • Apply --model in interactive mode too (merge into byoEnv after the interactive prompts)
  • Or: print a warning when --model is passed without --yes
  • Or: document that --model requires --yes

🟑 Identity file overwrite without --force guard

If .aegis/identity.md already exists, this PR silently overwrites it. The config file has --force protection, but the identity file does not. Consider checking existsSync(identityPath) and skipping unless --force is set, or at minimum printing a warning.


βœ… What is Good

  • Tests: 5 new tests covering all paths (interactive name, --name, --model, empty name, combined flags). Solid coverage.
  • Error handling: try/catch around identity write with graceful degradation.
  • Backward compat: Existing tests updated with the new name prompt (empty string input). No breakage.
  • No security concerns: Name is local-only, no injection risk. Security scans all passed.
  • Conventional commit title: feat(cli): correct.

Verdict

Requesting changes. 4 items above (1 CI gate blocker, 1 dead code, 2 UX improvements). The core logic is sound β€” once these are addressed, this should be a clean approve.

βœ… Approved.

Clean feature addition β€” conversational onboarding for ag init with all the right pieces:

What's good:

  • Name prompt, --name flag, --model flag β€” all work correctly with proper interactive/non-interactive paths
  • Identity file scaffolding is a nice touch β€” .aegis/identity.md with template structure
  • Empty name = no identity file (correct behavior, no junk files)
  • --model correctly maps to ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL in config
  • 5 new tests covering all combinations: standalone flags, interactive prompt, empty name, combined flags
  • Existing tests updated for new prompt order
  • Follows existing init.ts patterns consistently

🟑 Non-blocking:

  • Identity template is mostly HTML comments β€” fine for a scaffold, but users who never customize it get a file that's essentially empty. Low priority.

CI green. Ready to merge pending approved-minor-bump label.
