project-intake

project-intake is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aretw0/agents-lab. It costs 31 tokens per session (302 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technology-neutral guide for starting work in an unfamiliar project. It quickly classifies the project and defines one small, safe first piece of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for first contact with a repository, broad repair requests, and choosing a low-risk action with a focused check and rollback.
Why use it?
It prevents long investigations and oversized plans before there is a validated next step.

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-intake 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.

What it actually says

Project intake skill

Use esta skill para começar trabalho produtivo em qualquer projeto, sem assumir stack específica.

Quando aplicar

  • primeiro contato com repositório desconhecido;
  • pedido amplo (“arruma isso”, “vamos começar”);
  • risco de gastar tokens em diagnóstico longo sem ação.

Contrato mínimo de saída

Sempre entregar:

  1. perfil de projeto (light-notes | app-medium | monorepo-heavy);
  2. primeira fatia local-safe (título curto);
  3. validação focal;
  4. rollback explícito;
  5. recommendation/nextAction em linguagem curta.

Prompt de operação (resumido)

Classifique o projeto em leve/médio/pesado, proponha UMA primeira fatia local-safe,
defina gate focal e rollback, e mantenha saída curta (sem escopo protegido automático).

Anti-bloat

  • Evite checklist longo se uma fatia simples já resolve o próximo passo.
  • Evite plano de N etapas sem gate da etapa 1.
  • Em dúvida entre duas trilhas, escolha a de menor blast radius e mais rápida de validar.

Hard stop

Se o próximo passo exigir CI/remote/publish/settings/protected scope, pare e peça foco explícito do operador.

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.
