project-init

project-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AlexZio00/sovereign-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (4,616 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview-based setup skill for starting a new Claude Code project. It uses your decisions to generate CLAUDE.md, ROADMAP, .gitignore, and .env.example files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a new project or project setup, especially when you need initial agent instructions, a roadmap, ignored files, and a sample environment-variable file.
Why use it?
It captures important choices before code is written, reducing the risk that the project's instructions and roadmap are based on guesses. It can also check whether a CLAUDE.md file already exists.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 294
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

project-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 4d 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 — 409 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Init — New Project Design Interview

Dominant Variable

Do interview decisions map exactly to generated files? — If interview answers conflict with CLAUDE.md/ROADMAP content, the project starts on a false premise.

Purpose

Capture every critical decision before writing a single line of code.

Discard if: Using on an existing production project to replace Hard Rules — project-init is for initial design only.

Trigger

  • /project-init
  • "new project", "create project", "project setup"

Key Assumptions

  1. Empty or new project directory — if broken: existing file conflicts need resolution.
  2. Write tool accessible — if broken: output file contents as code blocks and user saves manually.

Phase 0: Context Check

0-1. Existing CLAUDE.md Detection

Check if CLAUDE.md exists in the current working directory.

  • Not found → proceed to Phase 1 normally.
  • Found → read it, then ask: 
    CLAUDE.md already exists. What would you like to do?
1. Update — enhance based on existing content (keep Hard Rules, add missing sections)
2. Rewrite — start fresh from scratch (delete existing content)
3. Cancel

Tip: If you want to see the full project state first (Security, Quality, Harness),
→ run /project-check first. Then come back here and select Update mode.
    • Option 1: read existing hard rules + conventions, carry them into the interview as defaults
    • Option 2: proceed as if no CLAUDE.md exists
    • Option 3: stop

0-1b. Other Target Files (overwrite protection)

The CLAUDE.md prompt above is not the only overwrite risk. Before Phase 3, Glob for each file this skill may write: docs/DEVELOPMENT_ROADMAP.md, .gitignore, .env.example, docs/decisions/README.md. For every one that already exists, never overwrite it silently; offer:

  1. Merge — append only the missing lines or keys (.gitignore entries, .env.example variables, new ROADMAP phases), keep everything else
  2. Replace — only after you copy the old file to <file>.bak-YYYYMMDD and the user confirms
  3. Skip this file Default: Merge. Report which option was applied per file.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
