drift init

This command initializes a new project by launching an interactive TUI wizard. The wizard auto-discovers documentation mappings by optionally scanning your code and documentation files using an LLM.

drift init

For a faster initial setup that relies purely on file paths without reading their contents, you can use the --fast flag:

drift init --fast

To initialize drift in a specific directory instead of the current working directory, you can use the --dir (or -d) flag:

drift init --dir /path/to/project

This will present interactive options and create a tailored .drift.yaml configuration file to get you started.
