A setup workflow for adding shared AI-development instructions to a repository and projecting them to Claude Code and GitHub Copilot. It can work with a new repository or migrate an existing setup.

Use it to fully enable a repository for Claude Code and Copilot, migrate existing AI configuration, or create shared skills, agents, rules, and editor settings.

It gives both coding assistants a common project structure and shared guidance, reducing duplicated or conflicting configuration.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add asteasolutions/ai-toolkit --skill setup

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/asteasolutions/ai-toolkit

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00049	$0.02083
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00833
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00417
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00208

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 685b0c32b0d6, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/harness-projection.mjs, scripts/sync-setup-bundle.sh, scripts/verify-install.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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Setup — project or fully AI-enable a repo

Project an existing Claude Code setup to GitHub Copilot, or lay the full minimal set of artifacts that make a repo behave effectively under both harnesses. Full setup ships with the developer-led method as its baseline; the /helm loop is its centre of gravity, not its boundary.

The installed layout is the harness-agnostic blueprint: AGENTS.md is the single source of shared instructions, .claude/ directories are the sources of truth for skills/agents/rules, and committed VS Code settings bridge Copilot to both. This flow targets Claude Code and GitHub Copilot only. Full design lives in references/blueprint.md — inside this skill, no external docs required.

This is prompt-driven, not a script. Present the path choice first. Then explore, preview, confirm, and write only what that path permits.

Scope. Handles both greenfield (clean repo) and brownfield (existing AI config). Brownfield is a migration: a gated conversion of what's there into the canonical layout, one declinable move at a time — see references/migration.md.

Agent / rule projection. Both paths follow PROJECTION.md first — the bundled CLI generates owned .github/ mirrors. Do not hand-sync.

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.
