project

project is a skill for Claude Code from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,871 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-memory skill for an Architecture Studio project. It stores current project facts separately from decisions, which record choices, reasons, and later changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialise or update a project record, remember facts, record or supersede decisions, inspect project status, and migrate an older project file.
Why use it?
It gives the project a durable record so important context and decisions are not lost between sessions. Keeping facts and decisions separate makes the record easier to maintain.

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 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/project-workspace.sh, scripts/resolve-context.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/as:project — Project Setup and Memory

Harness note: use /as:<skill> on Claude Code and $<skill> on Codex. Resolve <skill-root> as the directory containing this loaded SKILL.md and <plugin-root> as the plugin root that contains skills/, and use equivalent native tools when host tool names differ.

/as:project is the only project-memory interface. It owns current facts in PROJECT.md and durable reasoning in decisions/*.md without combining those record types or duplicating a decision index.

Commands

/as:project init
/as:project status
/as:project update
/as:project remember <information>
/as:project decisions
/as:project record-decision <choice>
/as:project supersede <number>
/as:project migrate

Hard boundaries

  1. PROJECT.md contains sourced current facts. Decision identity, status, rationale, and history live only in decisions/*.md.
  2. PROJECT.md links to decisions/ but has no Decisions table and never copies decision metadata.
  3. Never write STUDIO.md. /as:studio alone owns the manifest.
  4. Never create a nested project beneath an existing PROJECT.md.
  5. Every durable mutation is previewed and requires affirmative confirmation.
  6. Preserve malformed records. A parse failure means unknown, not absent or approved.
  7. Use project-relative links; never persist machine-specific absolute paths.

Resolve the project root

Run <plugin-root>/skills/project/scripts/resolve-context.sh from the current or explicitly supplied directory and follow references/context-resolution.md. PROJECT.md is the only implicit project boundary. A nearer project inside a monorepo wins over outer repository metadata; typed-record directories, task/time files, Claude instructions, git roots, and the current directory never establish a project. Stop on invalid; use the validated picker for studio-picker; and never write before one exact project is resolved.

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.
