init

init is a skill for Claude Code from archcore-ai/plugin. It costs 235 tokens per session (4,519 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A first-time setup tool for Archcore projects, which are code repositories that use Archcore’s project documents and host integrations. It examines the repository and prepares a set of starting documents and configuration in one confirmation step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an Archcore stack guide, run guide, data model, integration and configuration notes, entry points, public surface, architecture overview, and focused specifications for important modules.
Why use it?
It gives a new project an organized starting point based on its size and structure, without writing files before confirmation.

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

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 25d 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 — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/archcore:init

First-time onboarding. Wires the host, measures the authored context the repository already holds, and fills .archcore/ from two sources — what people wrote and what the code shows — so the code-alignment hook and per-command grounding have substance from day one. Per magic-first-day-init.adr and init-import-mode.adr: extractive facts are composed in full; authored content wins over synthesized content on the same subject; the overview is an index, never a prose blob. Nothing is written before confirm.

Arguments

The first word selects the run: import or refresh. These two words are the command's modes in the sense of command-surface-v2.spec. The rest of the arguments is the subject. No arguments, or any other first word, start a plain init.

  • import [path] — convert the repository's authored context into native documents, at all five discovery levels of lib/sources.md; a path limits the run to that path. Resumes an open import plan when one exists.
  • refresh [path or domain] — re-run on a seeded repo to add facts that appeared since (a new schema, config, or modules) and to retrofit host wiring. A subject scopes the top-up: an existing path wins; otherwise a detected domain slug runs the single-domain pass. Bypasses the "already seeded" early-exit.
  • Depth and scale are not arguments. The preview offers the toggles depth:light|standard|deep (default standard) and scale:small|medium|large, where the user already sees each choice's cost (lib/seed-compose.md). Import has no depth.
  • A retired form as the first word — domain, or a flag such as --refresh, --depth=deep, --scale=large — starts a plain init; name the current form once: "/archcore:init [import|refresh] [path or domain]; depth and scale are toggles in the preview."

When to use

  • Empty .archcore/ — the SessionStart nudge points here.
  • First session on a fresh clone / fresh install.
  • User says: "initialize archcore", "set up archcore", "seed archcore", "first-time setup", "what should I do first".
  • User says: "migrate our CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / cursor rules to archcore", "import our ADRs and docs", "move our docs into archcore" → import.

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.
