setup

setup is a command for Claude Code from jamditis/claude-skills-journalism. It costs 9 tokens per session (2,689 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A first-run setup command for the autocontext plugin, which stores configuration used across projects. It asks for an identity for lesson attribution and which automated test-quality checks to enable.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure the user's attribution details and choose checks such as detecting tests that merely repeat implementation details or rely on excessive mocking.
Why use it?
It removes the need to configure these settings manually in a configuration file. It also makes it possible to review and change existing settings when setup is run again.

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

setup 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 7d 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 — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run the autocontext first-run setup wizard. Use AskUserQuestion for each step. Group questions into batches of 2 (up to 4 per AskUserQuestion call) to keep the flow efficient.

Setup workflow

This skill guides you through initial configuration of the autocontext plugin. Your answers will be saved to ~/.claude/autocontext.json for use across all projects.

If ~/.claude/autocontext.json already exists, read it first and present current values as defaults. The user is re-running setup to change settings.

Batch 1 (steps 1-2)

Step 1: Identity

Identity is required for lesson attribution. No automatic fallback, you must explicitly set it.

Question: What should we call you in lesson attribution?

Options:

  • Your name (text input)
  • Username (text input)
  • Email address (text input)
  • Other (text input)
Step 2: Test quality rules

Select which automated test quality checks you want enabled when reviewing test code.

Question: Which built-in test quality rules do you want enabled?

Available rules (multi-select):

  • Tautological test check, flags tests that describe code instead of testing behavior
  • No mock everything, warns when mocks are the assertions instead of testing actual behavior
  • No happy path only, requires error cases and edge case tests alongside happy path
  • No bare assertions, flags assert True, assert is not None, and similar weak assertions
  • Test independence, flags tests that pass without their feature code present

You can enable all, some, or none of these. They can be toggled later.

Batch 2 (steps 3-4)

Step 3: Lesson loading aggressiveness

Configure how many lessons to load at session start based on relevance confidence.

Question: How aggressively should lessons be loaded at session start?

Options:

  • Conservative, load up to 5 lessons with confidence >= 0.7. Minimal context, high precision.
  • Balanced (Recommended), load up to 15 lessons with confidence >= 0.3. Good mix of depth and specificity.
  • Aggressive, load up to 25 lessons with confidence >= 0.1. Maximum context, may include tangential material.

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.
