getting-started

getting-started is a skill for Claude Code from claude-world/director-mode-lite. It costs 36 tokens per session (518 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short onboarding workflow for Director Mode Lite across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Grok Build. It explains the available workflows and how to verify an installation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after installation to check a project setup and choose a workflow for substantial work, unfamiliar bugs, or moving a task between command-line assistants.
Why use it?
It gives new users a starting point instead of requiring them to understand the tools, shared instructions, session handoffs, and optional hooks first.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is ./scripts/verify-install.sh /path/to/project.

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

getting-started 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 6d 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Getting started

Director Mode is a set of adaptable workflows, not a permission or policy layer. Keep the user's preferred CLI controls and choose only the skills useful for the current task.

1. Verify the portable surfaces

./scripts/verify-install.sh /path/to/project

A full three-CLI install currently provides 35 skills, 14 canonical Claude agents, 14 Codex adapters, 14 Grok adapters, shared guidance, and the session relay. Python 3 is required for installation and relay packets. jq is only a legacy automation dependency; a normal zero-hook install does not need it.

Active hooks are optional. The default install deliberately registers none. Use --hooks guide only when a short non-blocking Claude/Codex SessionStart context is useful. Grok reads the same guidance from AGENTS.md without an inert passive hook.

2. Choose a starting point

  • director-mode: define outcome, context, constraints, evidence, and the next decision for substantial work.
  • workflow: use the full research → plan → implement → verify → review flow.
  • focus-problem: understand an unfamiliar bug or codebase area.
  • session-relay: leave portable state for Claude, Codex, or Grok to continue.
  • smart-commit: review and prepare a conventional commit when requested.

Testing and TDD skills are available when they fit the repository or the user asks for them; they are not imposed on every task.

3. Let another CLI continue

.director-mode/bin/director-relay create \
  --from claude --to codex \
  --goal "Finish the current feature" \
  --summary "Implementation is partly complete" \
  --next "Inspect the worktree and continue"

.director-mode/bin/director-relay continue --to codex

The second command prints a copyable native command. It launches nothing until the user explicitly adds --run.

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.

getting-started is a skill published in the GitHub repository claude-world/director-mode-lite (81 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 518 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.
