init

init is a command for Claude Code from edochi/mdvs. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that scans Markdown files and creates mdvs.toml, a configuration file describing their frontmatter fields and types. It can also import a JSON Schema, a standard format for describing data rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for starting a structured Markdown knowledge base, selecting which files to scan, excluding files without frontmatter, or importing an existing schema.
Why use it?
It avoids writing the initial metadata schema by hand and lets you preview the inferred rules before saving them.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

init 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 10d 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 — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

init

Scan a directory, infer a typed schema, and write mdvs.toml.

Usage

mdvs init [path] [flags]

Flags

Flag Default Description
path . Directory to scan
--glob ** Glob pattern for matching markdown files
--force Overwrite existing mdvs.toml
--dry-run Preview the inferred schema without writing anything
--ignore-bare-files Exclude files without YAML frontmatter
--skip-gitignore Don't read .gitignore patterns during scan
--from-jsonschema PATH Import a JSON Schema file (.json or .toml) as the source of fields instead of scanning

Global flags (-o, -v, --logs) are described in Configuration.

Flags persist to mdvs.toml

Any flag passed to init that has a corresponding config field is persisted into the generated mdvs.toml — init is the only command where you don't yet have a config file, so flag values become the project's starting state. Persisted today:

Flag Field written
--glob "<pattern>" [scan].glob
--ignore-bare-files [scan].include_bare_files = false
--skip-gitignore [scan].skip_gitignore = true
-o, --output <format> top-level default_output_format

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.

init is a command published in the GitHub repository edochi/mdvs (27 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,164 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-05.
