+When I tried to use cil for the first time, I did:
+
+cil init
+[fix debian packaging :)]
+cil init
+cil add
+cil list --is-open
+
+And got no results. Because cil didn't know at that point what statuses counted as 'open'.
+
+It would be nice if a default .cil was written out, with just enough statuses etc. in it to make those common --command flags work.
+
+You could also add cil init --bare to not write this out.
