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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00334 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00167 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
ryk-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 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to init — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
ryk-init
Create or repair an ryk policy for the current repository.
When to use
Use this skill when starting a new project, when .ryk/policy.yaml is missing, or when you want to reset to a known-good policy preset.
Commands
Initialize an ryk policy with the Codex preset:
ryk init --preset codex
Validate the resulting policy:
ryk policy check .ryk/policy.yaml
Preset fallback
If the codex preset is not available in your ryk build, use the closest plugin-safe preset:
ryk init --preset generic-agent
Or, for stricter defaults:
ryk init --preset strict-local
The generic-agent preset is a conservative starting point for local coding agents. Review the generated .ryk/policy.yaml before trusting it.
Safety rules
- Do not silently overwrite
.ryk/policy.yaml. If a policy already exists, review it first. - If you need to recreate it, back up the old file:
cp .ryk/policy.yaml .ryk/policy.yaml.bak - Always run
ryk policy checkafter creating or editing a policy.
Notes
- This skill modifies only
.ryk/policy.yamlin the current workspace. - No host configuration is changed.
- The plugin does not collect telemetry. Release CLI commands may record only fixed anonymous metadata; see
docs/telemetry.md. - The generated policy does not contain real secrets.
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.

ryk-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository christopherkarani/ryk (39 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 334 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to init, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
