ccc-onboard

ccc-onboard is a command for coding agents from iliaal/ccc-plugin. It costs 25 tokens per session (815 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that prepares a project for cocoindex-code, a tool that indexes source code so it can be searched or used by an AI assistant. It sets up indexing, connections, exclusions, hooks, and a local instruction hint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize a project, exclude unwanted files, build its code index, register the MCP server, install Git hooks, and add the project hint.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated manual setup needed before cocoindex-code can work with a project.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/iliaal/ccc-plugin/ccc-onboard
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/iliaal/ccc-plugin

Or install ccc-tools, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 commands.

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

ccc-onboard 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 4d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboard a project to cocoindex-code

Wraps ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ccc-onboard and reports results to the user.

Step 1: Validate arguments

Arguments are in $ARGUMENTS. The first positional arg should be a path that exists. If it doesn't look like a directory path, stop and ask the user what to do.

Step 2: Run the onboarding script

Invoke the shell script via Bash:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ccc-onboard $ARGUMENTS

The script runs six steps: ccc init, apply standard excludes, ccc index, register MCP server, install git hooks (if repo), write local .claude/CLAUDE.md hint (if missing). Each step is idempotent or skippable, so a re-run on an existing project is safe.

Indexing on CPU can take 5-50 minutes depending on repo size. On CUDA it's roughly 6-10× faster. If the script looks like it will take more than ~2 minutes, run it with run_in_background: true and poll the output file.

Step 3: Parse and report

Report what the script actually did, not what it planned to do:

  • Number of chunks indexed and the language breakdown from the ccc index output
  • Which MCP server name was registered (default or custom)
  • Whether git hooks were installed, and in how many git directories under the project
  • Whether the .claude/CLAUDE.md hint was written or already existed
  • Any warnings from the script (e.g., "claude mcp add failed", existing hooks skipped)

Step 4: Verify MCP connectivity

After the script completes, run:

claude mcp list

Confirm the new server appears as ✓ Connected. If it's ✗ Failed to connect, dig into why — the most common cause is that ccc mcp refuses to run outside an initialized project directory, which the wrapper sh -c "cd PATH && exec ccc mcp" handles but can fail if the path has spaces or special characters. Report the exact failure to the user.

Step 5: Quick sanity query

If everything looks connected, run one test search to prove the index is usable:

cd <project-path> && ccc search --limit 3 "<pick a term likely to match>"

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.
