qcqx-project-manage: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/trellis/start.md

start is a command for Claude Code from qxchuckle/qcqx-project-manage. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,446 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of start, Apache-2.0.

A command for initializing an AI development session and loading the project's workflow, current context, and guideline indexes before work begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a development session to inspect repository status, read project standards, classify the task, and begin work.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project's rules, file structure, current tasks, and testing guidance before it changes code.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is qxchuckle/qcqx-project-manage's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on qcqx-project-manage itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything qcqx-project-manage configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to qxchuckle/qcqx-project-manage. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Copy the file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qxchuckle/qcqx-project-manage/master/.claude/commands/trellis/start.md
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/qxchuckle/qcqx-project-manage

Made for: Claude Code.

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

start 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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to start — 20 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Initialize your AI development session and begin working on tasks.

[USER] Slash commands executed by user User

Initialization [AI]

Step 1: Understand Development Workflow

First, read the workflow guide to understand the development process:

cat .trellis/workflow.md

Follow the instructions in workflow.md - it contains:

  • Core principles (Read Before Write, Follow Standards, etc.)
  • File system structure
  • Development process
  • Best practices

Step 2: Get Current Context

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py

This shows: developer identity, git status, current task (if any), active tasks.

Step 3: Read Guidelines Index

cat .trellis/spec/frontend/index.md  # Frontend guidelines
cat .trellis/spec/backend/index.md   # Backend guidelines
cat .trellis/spec/guides/index.md    # Thinking guides
cat .trellis/spec/unit-test/index.md # Testing guidelines

Step 4: Report and Ask

Report what you learned and ask: "What would you like to work on?"


Task Classification

When user describes a task, classify it:

Type Criteria Workflow
Question User asks about code, architecture, or how something works Answer directly
Trivial Fix Typo fix, comment update, single-line change Direct Edit
Simple Task Clear goal, 1-2 files, well-defined scope Quick confirm → Implement
Complex Task Vague goal, multiple files, architectural decisions Brainstorm → Task Workflow

Classification Signals

Trivial/Simple indicators:

  • User specifies exact file and change
  • "Fix the typo in X"
  • "Add field Y to component Z"
  • Clear acceptance criteria already stated

Complex indicators:

  • "I want to add a feature for..."
  • "Can you help me improve..."
  • Mentions multiple areas or systems
  • No clear implementation path
  • User seems unsure about approach

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.
