skyhook init

Initialize a new service

​
Synopsis

Initialize a new Skyhook service by auto-detecting project configuration. This command scans the specified directory (or current directory) to detect:
  • Programming language and framework
  • Container port from Dockerfile
  • Repository information from git
  • Monorepo structure (Nx, Turborepo, pnpm, etc.)
The detected configuration is presented in an interactive form for review before creating the service. Use ‘skyhook detect’ to preview detection results without creating a service. 
skyhook init [path] [flags]

​
Examples

  skyhook init                 # Interactive mode in current directory
  skyhook init ./my-service    # Initialize from specific path
  skyhook init --yes           # Non-interactive, use all detected defaults
  skyhook init --dry-run       # Preview what would be created
  skyhook init -s my-api       # Override the service name

​
