promote

promote is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cliffren/swf. It costs 27 tokens per session (893 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning an evaluated idea into a standalone software project. It creates a Linear project with phase milestones and a GitHub repository with a standard folder structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an evaluated idea, confirm its name, description, technology choices, and location, then create the project milestones and repository.
Why use it?
It removes the manual setup needed to move an idea from a tracking list into active development. It also keeps the project plan and code repository connected.

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

promote 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 5d 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.

Promote Idea to Project

Graduate an idea from the Ideas project into a full independent project.

Workflow

  1. Select the idea:

    • List open (non-archived) issues in the Ideas project
    • Show evaluation progress for each (e.g., "3/5 评估 sub-issues 完成")
    • Let the user pick by number
    • Read the selected issue for context: title, description, any design.md draft
  2. Confirm project details:

    • Ask for: 项目简称(用于 repo 名和 Linear Project 名), one-line description, tech stack
    • Ask project path: "项目放在哪?默认 ~/Projects/",user confirms or changes
    • Show a confirmation summary of all details before proceeding — do NOT create anything until user confirms
  3. Create Linear Project:

    • Name: the project name
    • Team: Tao's Linear
    • Description 包含(创建 repo 后回填):
      <one-line description>
      
      **Repo:** <GitHub URL if remote, or local path if local-only>
      **Tech Stack:** <tech stack>
      **Created:** <date>
      
  4. Create Phase Milestones (read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../reference/phase-template.md):

    • Phase 1 — 数据准备与开发
    • Phase 2 — 验证与Benchmark
    • Phase 3 — 深入验证
    • Phase 4 — Figure 组装
    • Phase 5 — 论文写作
    • Phase 6 — 投稿准备
    • Phase 7 — 投稿后
    • Phase 8 — 发表
  5. Create repo:

    • Ask user: "要在 GitHub 上创建远程仓库,还是只在本地用 git 追踪?"
    • GitHub 远程仓库:
      gh repo create <project-name> --private --description "<one-line description>"
      
      Clone the repo, then proceed to step 6
    • 本地 git 仓库:
      mkdir ~/Projects/<project-name>
      cd ~/Projects/<project-name>
      git init
      
      Proceed to step 6 (skip push at the end)
  6. Initialize repo structure (read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../reference/repo-structure.md):

    • Create standard directory structure
    • Generate CLAUDE.md from template (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../reference/claude-md-template.md)
    • In CLAUDE.md, set "当前阶段:Phase 1"
    • Copy (not move) files from Ideas workspace (~/Projects/ideas/<idea-slug>/):
      • design.mddocs/design.md
      • framework.svgdocs/paper/figures/fig1-framework.svg (if exists)
      • literature-review.mddocs/literature-review.md (if exists)
    • Keep the original Ideas workspace intact for reference
    • Commit (and push if remote repo)

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.
