A guided command for replacing template-specific project details with the information for your own project.

Use it to check initialization, provide project and author details, run the setup script, and review files such as the README, security policy, and contribution guide.

It helps find unfinished template placeholders and applies the documented initialization and customization steps.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00007	$0.00756
Opus 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00302
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00001	$0.00151
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00076

Security

Grade A, and why

customize scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are helping the user customize their project after it was created from the GitHub Template. Read docs/CUSTOMIZATION_GUIDE.md (may still be named docs/AI_SETUP_GUIDE.md if the init script hasn't run yet) for the full reference.

Step 1: Check initialization status

Check whether Scripts/Initialize-Repository.ps1 still exists.

If it exists: The template hasn't been initialized yet. Gather the required information from the user (module name, description, author, GitHub username) and run the script first. Use -WhatIf to preview, then run for real. See section 1 of the customization guide for the full parameter list.
If it doesn't exist: Initialization is done. Proceed to customization.

Step 2: Assess current state

Read these files to understand what still needs customization:

README.md -- does the prose still describe the template?
SECURITY.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md -- do they still say yourdomain.com?
CONTRIBUTING.md -- does the title still reference the template?
CHANGELOG.md -- does it still have template version history?
README.md badge URLs -- do they point to real CI/CD or placeholder URLs?

Tell the user what you found and what needs updating.

Step 3: Customize interactively

Work through each item that needs attention. Ask the user for input where needed:

README.md -- Rewrite the description, tagline, and getting-started sections for the actual project. Keep the structure but replace template marketing copy.
CONTRIBUTING.md -- Update or remove Slack links. Ensure the title reflects this project.
Contact emails -- Ask for real email addresses to replace yourdomain.com in SECURITY.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
Badges -- Update badge URLs once the user confirms their CI/CD setup.
CHANGELOG.md -- Write a meaningful first entry for this project.

Step 4: Adapt existing code (if applicable)

Ask the user if they have existing PowerShell code to bring into this project. If yes:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
