init

init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks. It costs 14 tokens per session (532 once invoked), scanned B, original, CC0-1.0.

A codebase documentation initializer that creates a CLAUDE.md file for future coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document how to build, test, and run the project and explains the main structure, including relevant editor or assistant rules.
Why use it?
It records the project’s important commands, architecture, and repository-specific guidance so each new agent can get oriented faster.

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 B, and why

init scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Please analyze this codebase and create a CLAUDE.md file, which will be given to future instances of Claude Code to operate in this repository.

What to add:

  1. Commands that will be commonly used, such as how to build, lint, and run tests. Include the necessary commands to develop in this codebase, such as how to run a single test.
  2. High-level code architecture and structure so that future instances can be productive more quickly. Focus on the "big picture" architecture that requires reading multiple files to understand.

Usage notes:

  • If there's already a CLAUDE.md, suggest improvements to it.
  • When you make the initial CLAUDE.md, do not repeat yourself and do not include obvious instructions like "Provide helpful error messages to users", "Write unit tests for all new utilities", "Never include sensitive information (API keys, tokens) in code or commits".
  • Avoid listing every component or file structure that can be easily discovered.
  • Don't include generic development practices.
  • If there are Cursor rules (in .cursor/rules/ or .cursorrules) or Copilot rules (in .github/copilot-instructions.md), make sure to include the important parts.
  • If there is a README.md, make sure to include the important parts.
  • If you find an OpenAI Codex config (/.codex/config.toml or ./.codex/) or a Gemini CLI config (/.gemini/settings.json or ./.gemini/ or a GEMINI.md), offer to import it now — tell the user to reply /import to scan and list what's importable (MCP servers, slash commands, subagents, skills, instructions), then /import --yes=<digest> (the scan output names the digest) to apply the user-level items. Do NOT read the foreign-agent config files or write Claude Code config yourself — the deterministic import (triggered by --yes) applies the same safe-name and path-traversal guards as the terminal picker. If /import isn't available on this surface, tell the user to run claude import from a terminal instead.
  • Do not make up information such as "Common Development Tasks", "Tips for Development", "Support and Documentation" unless this is expressly included in other files that you read.
  • Be sure to prefix the file with the following text:
# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.

init is a skill published in the GitHub repository asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks (70,162 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 532 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
