bootstrap

A project setup skill that examines a new code repository and creates project-specific CLAUDE.md and claude/ knowledge files from templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting Brain Bootstrap in a new repository and preparing its project configuration.
Why use it?
It removes the need to inspect the codebase and write the initial agent instructions by hand.

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

bootstrap 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 2d 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 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.

bootstrap is a skill published in the GitHub repository brain-bootstrap/claude-code-brain-bootstrap (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 69 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.

implement

TRIGGER when: user asks to implement, fix, build, or work on something — whether from a docs/wip plan OR a standalone task (bug fix, GitHub issue, one-off change). Examples: "work on task 1", "fix this bug", "implement feature X from the issue". Provides structured execution with profile detection, dependency…

review-spec

Use after implementing tasks or mid-feature to verify code matches design docs and ensure they are in sync. Detects spec deviations, missing implementations, doc inconsistencies, and outdated docs in design and implementation documentation.

chain-of-verification

Apply Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) prompting to improve response accuracy through self-verification. Use when complex questions require fact-checking, technical accuracy, or multi-step reasoning.

review-design

Review design, implementation, and task documents produced by design. Evaluates document quality, internal consistency, and technical soundness. Use after design completes and before starting implement.

review-code

Code review of current git changes with an expert senior-engineer lens. Detects SOLID violations, security risks, and proposes actionable improvements. Use when performing code reviews.

dependency-handling

TRIGGER when: adding or upgrading any dependency — library, SDK, framework, API, IaC API version (K8s/Terraform/Helm), CRD, or container image. Use BEFORE writing the call. Forces context7/capy lookup instead of guessing.
