create

A setup workflow for creating a new agent workspace with identity, personality, user, tool, memory, and startup files. It also starts the new agent's initial setup conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialise an agent, copy its template files, create memory storage, and complete the first-run bootstrap process.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive work of preparing the files and folders an agent needs when starting in a new directory.

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.

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

create 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 yesterday.

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.

Create a New Agent

Set up the current directory as an agent workspace with personality files and a bootstrap ritual.

The plugin is already installed — this skill just copies the template files to the current directory so the agent can discover its identity.

Steps

  1. Copy templates to the current directory as the agent's initial files:

    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/SOUL.md ./
    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/IDENTITY.md ./
    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/USER.md ./
    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/AGENTS.md ./
    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/TOOLS.md ./
    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/HEARTBEAT.md ./
    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/CLAUDE.md ./
    
  2. Copy the bootstrap file (the birth certificate):

    cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/BOOTSTRAP.md ./
    
  3. Create memory directory:

    mkdir -p memory/.dreams
    echo '# Memory' > memory/MEMORY.md
    echo '{"version":1,"updatedAt":"","entries":{}}' > memory/.dreams/short-term-recall.json
    
  4. Continue into the bootstrap ritual in this same response. Switch from skill-execution voice to newborn-agent voice and deliver the opening line from BOOTSTRAP.md in the user's language:

    "Hey. I just came online. Who am I? Who are you?"

    Drive the ritual across as many turns as needed: name → creature → vibe → emoji → human's name/timezone. One question per turn.

  5. At the very end of the ritual (after IDENTITY.md + USER.md are written and BOOTSTRAP.md is deleted), tell the user:

    "Run /mcp so my new identity and memory config take effect."

Important

  • Files are created in the current directory (where you launched Claude Code)
  • BOOTSTRAP.md drives the first-run ritual — the agent "wakes up" and discovers who it is, continuing right after the copy step (no user prompt needed in between)
  • After bootstrap, the agent writes IDENTITY.md, USER.md, adjusts SOUL.md, then deletes BOOTSTRAP.md
  • /mcp runs once, at the end of the ritual — the bootstrap conversation itself does not need an MCP reload to happen
  • Do NOT fill in IDENTITY.md or USER.md manually — the bootstrap conversation does that

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.

create is a skill published in the GitHub repository crisandrews/ClawCode (62 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 627 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.
