A command that sets up or updates the OpenStart project framework after inspecting the repository. OpenStart is a set of project guidance and helper files for coding agents, not application code.

Use it when starting a project, adopting OpenStart in an existing codebase, or bringing an older setup up to date.

It gives a new, existing, or previously configured project a consistent agent workflow while limiting changes to framework and agent-support files. It leaves the proposed changes for a human to review before applying them.

Per session 20 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 297 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00020	$0.00297
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00119
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00059
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00030

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

You are running the OpenStart onboarding flow for the current project.

Follow .ai/framework/ONBOARD.md exactly. It is the canonical, state-aware pipeline: Discover → Plan → ⟨human approves⟩ → Apply → Verify.

Non-negotiable for this run:

Make all mechanical decisions yourself; ask the human once — to approve the Plan (Phase 2) — surfacing only the 2–3 genuinely ambiguous choices with a recommended default each.
Writes are scoped to .ai/, .claude/commands, .claude/skills, and the root agent stubs. Never touch application code.
Work on branch chore/onboard-openstart. Do not commit or push — leave a clean diff for the human to review.
Never invent facts; mark unknowns as TODO:.
Use .ai/framework/sync.sh --dry-run for the Phase 2 preview and .ai/framework/sync.sh for the Phase 3 mechanics — don't hand-copy files.

If .ai/framework/ doesn't exist yet (brownfield), bootstrap per the "Bootstrapping a brownfield project" section of .ai/framework/ONBOARD.md.

Start at Phase 0 now.

Changes

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.

Subscribe to this mod's changes

onboard is a command published in the GitHub repository vijayatechlabs/openstart (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 297 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 2026-08-31.
