Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue

### Operating system

macOS 15.5.0 (24F74)

### Expected behaviour

Amazon Q should provide an `init` command (similar to Claude's functionality) that would:

1. Codebase Analysis: Automatically scan project structure (e.g., `tree src/`) and map file dependencies
2. Visual Documentation: Generate dependency diagrams and architecture visualizations
3. Rule Inference: Analyze codebase patterns to infer project-specific rules and conventions
4. Git Actions Setup: Automatically configure appropriate GitHub Actions workflows based on detected project type
5. Development Hooks: Set up pre-commit hooks, testing hooks, and validation scripts
6. Intelligent Test Suggestions: Propose relevant test hooks such as:
- Localization validation
- Dependency integrity checks
- Code quality gates
- Security scans
- Performance benchmarks

The feature should be configurable, allowing users to customize which hooks and workflows to enable based on their specific project needs.

### Actual behaviour

--

### Steps to reproduce

1. User wants to quickly bootstrap a development environment for a new or existing project
2. User expects an `init` command that would analyze their codebase
3. User wants automated setup of testing, CI/CD, and development best practices
4. Currently no such comprehensive initialization feature exists
