yolo-init

yolo-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CoriChui/yolo. It costs 78 tokens per session (561 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup and repair skill for adding the YOLO workflow to a software project. It creates the workflow's folders and configuration and adds the instructions that route requests to the right steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting YOLO in a project, rebuilding its workspace directories, creating configuration, or restoring its Claude Code routing instructions.
Why use it?
It makes a repository ready to use YOLO and can safely repair missing setup files when the workflow is already partly installed.

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

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

yolo-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.

What it actually says

yolo-init

Make a repo YOLO-ready. Idempotent — safe to re-run (repair mode).

Resolve template sources via the plugin root. When YOLO is installed as a plugin (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} is set), read .claude/yolo/templates/* from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude/yolo/templates/*; when the framework was copied into the project, read them project-relative (see conventions.md Where YOLO's files live). Either way, yolo-init writes only project stateworkspace/, workspace/config.yaml, and the CLAUDE.md routing block. In plugin mode do not copy the framework (skills/conventions) into the project; it stays in the plugin and resolves via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}.

Procedure

  1. Create workspace/, workspace/features/, workspace/decisions/, workspace/debug/ if missing (each tracked; add a .gitkeep where empty). Ensure docs/ exists too — the single doc folder the docs engine indexes and where persisted intake lives; yolo keeps no workspace/intake/ shelf.
  2. If workspace/config.yaml is missing, copy .claude/yolo/templates/config.yaml to it; set project.name to the repo directory name and project.base_branch via the detection rule in .claude/yolo/conventions.md (git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD minus origin/, else first existing of main/master). If it exists, repair only: fill missing keys, never overwrite a user-set value.
  3. Install the routing block: ensure the project CLAUDE.md contains the content of .claude/yolo/templates/claude-routing-block.md. If the <!-- YOLO:routing-block start -->/end markers already exist, replace the block between them; otherwise append it. (Idempotent.)
  4. Commit (yolo: init).

Constraints

  • Never git-ignore workspace/ — it is the durable spine and must survive branches/worktrees.
  • Repair mode preserves existing config values; it only fills gaps.
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.

yolo-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository CoriChui/yolo (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 561 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
