.agents/skills/al-folio-bootstrap/SKILL.md

al-folio-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alshedivat/al-folio. It costs 0 tokens per session (341 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bootstrap guide for creating or personalizing an al-folio version 1.x website, a Jekyll-based starter for academic and personal sites. It focuses on site-owned settings and content while leaving feature behavior to plugins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure site metadata and features, add pages, posts, projects, news, teaching materials, publications, and assets, then validate the result.
Why use it?
It helps set up a site without copying plugin files into the starter or creating conflicting local code. It also provides checks for formatting, configuration, upgrades, and successful site builds.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is alshedivat/al-folio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on al-folio 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 al-folio configures →

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

al-folio-bootstrap 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

al-folio Bootstrap

Use this skill when a user asks an agent to create, configure, or personalize a new al-folio v1.x website.

Workflow

  1. Read AGENTS.md and docs/BOUNDARIES.md before editing.
  2. Keep the starter small: customize _config.yml, _data, content collections, and site assets first.
  3. Leave runtime behavior in plugin repos. Do not copy plugin-owned layouts, includes, Sass, JavaScript, or assets into the starter unless the user intentionally wants a local override.
  4. For local visual/content customization, prefer:
    • _config.yml feature flags and site metadata
    • _data/*.yml
    • _pages, _posts, _projects, _news, _teachings, _bibliography
    • local _includes, _layouts, and _sass overrides only when config/content cannot express the change
  5. Run validation before handing work back:
npm ci
npm run lint:prettier
bundle exec al-folio upgrade audit --no-fail
bundle exec jekyll build --baseurl /al-folio

Routing

  • Starter wiring/docs/examples/tests: edit al-folio.
  • Shared layouts/includes/assets: use al_folio_core.
  • CV rendering: use al_folio_cv.
  • Distill runtime: use al_folio_distill.
  • Search/icons/math/comments/analytics/citations/external posts/newsletter/charts/images: use the owning al-* plugin repo.

Handoff

Summarize changed files, validation results, and any local overrides created.

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.
