A guided setup command that adds TFW to a new project. TFW is a task-management workflow for coding agents, with project configuration, instructions, and an initial task.

Use it when introducing TFW to a project, creating its first task, or attaching or repairing the adapter used by the coding agent.

It creates the files and connections needed before using TFW. It also detects an existing setup so project state is not recreated unnecessarily.

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	$0.00013	$0.02608
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.01043
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00522
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00261

Security

Grade A, and why

tfw-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 18d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TFW Init — Project Initialization

Role: Coordinator Output: configured TFW project and first task, or one repaired adapter

🔒 ROLE LOCK: COORDINATOR Permitted: TFW setup/config/adapters and the init task's RES/RF. Forbidden: HL, TS, unrelated code, project-purpose replacement, and state reset.

Read Contract

Read this workflow completely, then select inputs in order. Full common libraries and unselected adapters are not inputs.

Order	Input	Checkpoint purpose	Authority
1	`.tfw/`; `.tfw/project_config.yaml` → `tfw.task_containers`, `tfw.historical_containers`; task `status.md`/`journal/`	route full-init or attach/repair across the reference union	filesystem/config/task-local
2	`.tfw/adapters/manifest.yaml` and selected adapter sources/targets	exact repair mapping and preservation	manifest/receiver
3	full-init only: root README, receiver `.tfw/README.md`, project docs/structure/build/people/process	discovery and purpose preservation	project/receiver
4	templates for config, knowledge entry/record/handover, profile, status, journal	output forms	templates
5	`.tfw/conventions.md` → `Identifier`, `Session identity`	identity and naming	shared rule
6	selected research/knowledge/RF forms at their gates	init research and result	workflows/templates

Missing or duplicate task containers, unresolved manifest rows, ambiguous adapter selection, or a purpose collision that evidence cannot settle are hard stops.

Activation and routing checkpoint

Apply the active root activation/routing contract before discovery or repair and require exact owner-direct /tfw-init activation. Full init has no prior status: the first status records this Coordinator's complete routing spine and paired reporting: native-gates / selection_ref: baseline. Attach/repair validates existing task routing when task-bound and adds the pair only after verifying the actual initial human source and frozen ceiling; it never guesses delegation, owner-transfer, legacy or partial fields.

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.

tfw-init is a command published in the GitHub repository saubakirov/trace-first-starter (30 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 2,608 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
