init-project

init-project is a command for coding agents from KirKruglov/claude-project-manager. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,691 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-starting command that creates a named project with a planned folder structure, configuration files, and scheduled tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a project, provide its description and starting phase, create the required folders, and generate project-management instructions.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive setup work involved in creating a new project and gives the work a defined place for planning, execution, reports, and logs.

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-project 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 5d 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 — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Initialize Project

Create a complete project scaffold with folder structure, configuration files, and automated scheduled tasks.

Input

  • project-name (required): Name of the project
  • project-description (optional): Brief description of what the project is about
  • starting-phase (optional): Which phase to start in (1-5, default: 1)

Process

1. Gather Project Information

Ask the user for:

  • Project name (if not provided in argument)
  • Brief description of the project scope and goals
  • Starting phase (default to Phase 1 if not specified)
  • Confirm phase details before proceeding

2. Read Project Structure Template

Read references/project-structure.md to understand the folder layout and file structure.

3. Create Folder Structure

Create the following directory structure in ${project-root}/:

project-name/
├── 01-initiation/
├── 02-planning/
├── 03-execution/
├── 04-closure/
├── meetings/
├── reports/
├── input/
└── logs/

Create subdirectories as specified in project-structure.md reference.

4. Generate CLAUDE.md

Create ${project-root}/CLAUDE.md with:

---
role: AI Project Manager Agent
project-name: [USER PROVIDED NAME]
project-description: [USER PROVIDED DESCRIPTION]
current-phase: [STARTING PHASE]
---

# Project Configuration

## References
- Orchestration Map: references/orchestration-map.md
- Agent Rules: references/agent-rules.md
- Email Autonomy Rules: references/email-autonomy-rules.md

## Orchestration Rules

After each skill execution:
1. Update project-state.md with artifact status and metadata
2. Check dependencies against orchestration-map.md
3. Identify blocked vs. available next steps
4. Suggest next step to user
5. Log action in logs/log.md with timestamp, artifact, status

## File Structure Rules

- Input data: Place in input/ folder (read-only)
- Generated artifacts: Place in numbered phase folders (01-, 02-, etc.)
- Meeting notes: Place in meetings/ folder
- Reports: Place in reports/ folder
- Logs: Append to logs/log.md

## Logging Rules

Every action logged as:

[TIMESTAMP] | [ARTIFACT] | [STATUS] | [NOTES]


## Constraints

- Do NOT modify files in input/ folder
- Do NOT make decisions that require user approval without asking
- Email autonomy levels defined in email-autonomy-rules.md
- Respect project dependencies in orchestration-map.md

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.
