A command that creates the folder and starter files for a new MindBase research project. MindBase is a project format for organizing sources, notes, context, and research work.

Use it to start projects for investigations, literature reviews, market research, reading companions, or topic tracking, with an optional project mission.

It avoids manually creating the project's directory structure and records which project later sessions should open.

init — Command for Claude Code by frankchu91/mindbase-llm-wiki

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/frankchu91/mindbase-llm-wiki

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install mb, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 12 commands, 5 agents, 1 hook, 1 MCP server.

Per session 28 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 363 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00028	$0.00363
Opus 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00145
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00073
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00036

Measured 1mo ago against content hash a969d43b3edf, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Scaffold a new MindBase project.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parse:

First positional token = project name (required).
Optional --template <name> (default: empty). Allowed: empty, investigation, literature-review, market-research, reading-companion, topic-tracker.
Optional --mission "<one-liner>".

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user:

What's the project name?
(Optional) Which template? List the 6 options above.
(Optional) One-line mission?

Then call mindbase_init_project({ name, template, mission }). The tool will:

Slugify name → projectId.
Create ~/mindbase-data/projects/<projectId>/{README.md, context.md, index.yaml, sources/contributors/, sources/research/, sources/raw/, state/, logs/, artifacts/}.
Refuse if the project already exists.

After success, also write currentProjectId into ~/mindbase-data/config.json using mindbase_load_project (or write directly if config.json doesn't exist yet) so subsequent sessions auto-load this project.

Report to user:

✓ Project '<projectId>' created at <projectRoot>
Files: README.md, context.md, index.yaml, logs/<today>.md
Now run /mb:contribute to add your first thought.

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.
