devw init
Creates the .dwf/ directory structure with configuration and empty rule files.

​
Behavior

  1. Detects AI tools configured in the project (looks for .cursor/, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .windsurf/, .github/copilot-instructions.md)
  2. Asks which tools to include (detected tools are pre-selected)
  3. Asks output mode: copy (default) or link
  4. Generates .dwf/config.yml + empty rule files with example comments
  5. Creates .dwf/assets/ directory for commands, templates, and hooks
  6. Adds .dwf/.cache/ to .gitignore
  7. If --preset is specified, installs the preset after initialization
