setup-catalyst

setup-catalyst is a skill for Codex from coalesce-labs/catalyst. It costs 69 tokens per session (893 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A setup checker and repair tool for Catalyst, a software project or environment. It checks tools, databases, settings, telemetry, environment loading, and a cloud database mirror, then fixes some setup problems automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check or repair Catalyst after installing or upgrading it, or when its tools, database, configuration, telemetry, environment variables, or mirror connection cause problems.
Why use it?
It helps find why a new installation, upgrade, or development environment is not working. It can handle routine repairs such as creating folders, initializing the database, enabling WAL mode, and running migrations.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

Good fit Use it to check or repair Catalyst after installing or upgrading it…

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 C, and why

setup-catalyst scanned grade C with 2 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 7d 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.

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.

setup-catalyst is a skill published in the GitHub repository coalesce-labs/catalyst (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), with no licence file. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 893 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
