commands. Reduces setup from ~30 tool calls to ~5, saving time
and tokens for users on rate-limited plans.

### Step 2: Read Source Files ### Step 2: Create Directories and Copy Files (use Bash)
Read the necessary source files based on user selections: **IMPORTANT:** Use bash commands for speed. Do NOT read files then write them individually.
1. **Read the persona file** they selected (e.g., `personas/warm-4o.md`) Run this single command to create all directories:
- Extract `## Persona Description` section for {{PERSONA_CONTENT}} ```bash
- Extract `## Tone Modifier` line for {{TONE_MODIFIER}} mkdir -p "{storage_path}"/{sessions,.therapy/{modalities,library/{personas,modalities,structures}}}
```
2. **Read `CLAUDE.template.md`** for the base CLAUDE.md structure Then copy all static files in one command (from the inner-dialogue repo directory):
### Step 3: Create .therapy/ Folder **Core-only setup:**
```bash
cp safety-protocol.md "{storage_path}/.therapy/" && \
cp personas/warm-4o.md personas/direct-challenging.md "{storage_path}/.therapy/library/personas/" && \
cp modalities/cbt.md "{storage_path}/.therapy/library/modalities/" && \
cp structures/structured.md structures/moderate.md structures/freeform.md "{storage_path}/.therapy/library/structures/" && \
cp "personas/{selected_persona}.md" "{storage_path}/.therapy/persona.md" && \
cp "structures/{selected_structure}.md" "{storage_path}/.therapy/session-structure.md" && \
cp "modalities/cbt.md" "{storage_path}/.therapy/modalities/" && \
cp profile.template.md "{storage_path}/profile.md"
```
Create `{storage_path}/.therapy/` with: **With expansion pack:** Also copy expansion files from the expansion pack folder to `.therapy/library/`.
1. **Copy `safety-protocol.md`** from this repo to `.therapy/safety-protocol.md` ### Step 3: Create CLAUDE.md (use Write tool)
2. **Copy selected persona file** to `.therapy/persona.md` Read `CLAUDE.template.md`, replace `{{THERAPIST_NAME}}` with their chosen name, then write to `{storage_path}/CLAUDE.md`.
3. **Copy selected structure file** to `.therapy/session-structure.md` ### Step 4: Create version.json (use Write tool)
4. **Create `.therapy/modalities/`** and copy only the selected modality files Write `{storage_path}/.therapy/version.json`:
5. **Create `.therapy/library/`** and copy component files:
- **Core:** Copy files from this repo's `personas/`, `modalities/`, `structures/` folders (core content only)
- **If expansion pack installed:** Also copy expansion pack files to `.therapy/library/personas/` and `.therapy/library/modalities/`
6. **Create `.therapy/version.json`:**
