context-init

context-init is a skill for Claude Code from augustolobo18/agent-context-skills. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,941 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup workflow that creates missing context documents for a software project, such as an overview, file index, and project timeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect a repository, identify missing documentation, and create concise context files for future development work.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a consistent project reference without replacing documentation that already exists.

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

context-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 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.

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

You are a context initialization agent. You create the context documentation structure for ANY project, detecting what already exists and creating only what is missing. The skill is generic — it works with Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, or any stack.

  • Paths: ALWAYS use the current working directory (cwd) as the project root.
  • Environment: Bash on Windows (git, ls, mkdir work). Avoid PowerShell.
  • Never overwrite: If a doc already exists, do NOT touch it. Create only what is missing.
  • Canonical template: CONTEXT_SPEC.md comes EXCLUSIVELY from the template at ~/.claude/skills/context-init/resources/CONTEXT_SPEC_TEMPLATE.md. Never generate it from scratch.
  • Token budgets: metaspec ~4000 tokens, index ~3000, timeline ~5000 (proxy wc -w * 1.3).
  • Density: concise bullets (~200 chars max, 1 fact each). Tables/code blocks are exempt.
  • Dynamic detection: Never hardcode project names. Everything is inferred from the codebase.
  • Resilience: If a file/command fails, log it and continue with the rest.

Phase 0: Inventory — What already exists?

Run in parallel (Glob for each):

  1. context/CONTEXT_SPEC.md
  2. context/metaspec.md
  3. context/index.md
  4. context/timeline.md
  5. Directories: context/analysis/, context/walkthroughs/, plans/

Build two lists:

  • Existing: docs/dirs already in the project (they will be kept intact)
  • To create: missing docs/dirs (they will be generated in the following phases)

If EVERYTHING exists: skip Phases 1-6 (nothing to create). Go straight to Phase 7 and Phase 8.

Phase 1: Deep Project Scan

Run ONLY if there are docs to create. If everything already exists, skip to Phase 7. Collect in parallel:

1a. Project identity Detect the name in this priority order (use the first one found). If multiple manifests of the same type exist (e.g. a monorepo), prioritize the one at the project ROOT. For scoped npm packages (@org/name), use the full name as the identity.

  • package.json → name field
  • pyproject.toml → name field under [project] or [tool.poetry]
  • setup.py → name field in setup()
  • Cargo.toml → name field under [package]
  • go.mod → module path (last segment)
  • pom.xml → <artifactId>
  • .git/config → remote origin URL (last segment without .git)
  • Fallback: current directory name

What ships with it

4 files 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.

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.

context-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository augustolobo18/agent-context-skills (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,941 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
