What Maestro Init is

Maestro Init is a slash command published in the catlog22/maestro-flow repository on GitHub, which has about 558 stars. The repository describes itself as: “Intent-driven workflow orchestration for multi-agent AI development — adaptive lifecycle engine, self-reinforcing knowledge graph, and visual dashboard for Claude Code, Gemini, Codex & more”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Maestro Init gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Maestro Init

Claude Code

Download maestro-init.md from the repository.
Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
Run it by typing / followed by its name, with arguments such as [-y] [--from <source>] [--from-brainstorm SESSION-ID].

Claude Cowork

Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Before you install

Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
