project-initializer

project-initializer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyberelf/agent_skills. It costs 178 tokens per session (5,516 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup assistant that creates a README, an AGENTS.md file with instructions for coding agents, and continuous-integration files. Continuous integration automatically checks changes, while spec-driven development means organising implementation around written specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting a new project, choosing its technology stack and quality level, configuring GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, adding an OpenSpec or SpecKit-style workflow, and checking that the generated files agree.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive work of setting up project documentation, automated checks, coding rules, and a chosen specification workflow consistently.

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

project-initializer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 14 executable files (assets/scripts/check_project_tag.js, assets/scripts/check_project_tag.ps1, assets/scripts/check_project_tag.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

The Node.js variants are the most portable choice if the runner environment is uncertain. They require no npm dependencies — only the Node.js built-in modules (`fs`, `path`, `child_process`).

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 367 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Initializer

A skill for scaffolding new projects with consistent README.md, AGENTS.md, and CI/CD pipelines — all wired together with an SDD (Spec-Driven Development) framework.

Overview

The skill does five things:

  1. Interview — Understand the project's goals, tech stack, coding standards, quality requirements, CI platform(s), and preferred SDD workflow.
  2. Generate — Create README.md, AGENTS.md, and CI pipeline file(s) from templates.
  3. Integrate — Install SDD framework tools and initialize project structure; wire coding standards and quality checks into the CI pipeline.
  4. Tag — Embed a machine-readable project identity tag in AGENTS.md so server-side CI can verify the project was properly initialized.
  5. Verify consistency — Make sure all generated files agree with each other (same tech stack, same quality gates, same SDD expectations).

Phase 1: Interview

使用 AskUserQuestion 与用户进行访谈,了解项目情况。逐个问题与用户交互 — 不要跳过问题或代表用户做出决定。在进入第2阶段(文件生成)前,总结他们的答案并确认理解。

根据已有的上下文信息,可以一次性提出所有问题,也可以在自然对话中分散提问 — 根据情况自行判断。

必需信息:

对于以下每个问题,使用 AskUserQuestion 与用户交互式提问。不要跳过问题,不要代替用户做决定。当提供建议或默认值时,请通过 AskUserQuestion 确认用户同意后再继续。

  1. 项目名称和一句话描述 — 使用 AskUserQuestion。这个项目是什么?它解决了什么问题?

  2. 技术栈 — 编程语言、框架、包管理工具、数据库、部署目标等。使用 AskUserQuestion 提示用户。用户表示不确定或要求建议时,根据问题领域提供合理的默认值 — 但通过 AskUserQuestion 获得用户确认后再继续。

  3. 质量等级 — 使用 AskUserQuestion 提问:这是演示/原型项目还是生产项目?

    • 演示:最小化CI、无覆盖率门槛、无安全扫描、轻量级SDD
    • 生产:完整CI、覆盖率门槛、安全扫描、严格的SDD对齐检查
  4. SDD框架 — 使用 AskUserQuestion 展示所有三个选项,询问团队将使用哪一个。包括下面的描述以帮助他们做出决定。

    框架 风格 适用于
    OpenSpec 流畅、棕地优先、增量规范 现有代码库、个人开发者、迭代工作
    SpecKit 宪法强制、分阶段 团队、企业、严格的质量标准
    GSD 基于阶段的路线图、上下文工程 想让AI做主力工作的个人开发者

    选择后,阅读相应的参考文件了解更多细节:

    • OpenSpec → references/openspec.md
    • SpecKit → references/speckit.md
    • GSD → references/gsd.md
  5. CI平台 — 使用 AskUserQuestion 提问:应该配置哪些CI系统?

    • GitLab CI — 生成 .gitlab-ci.yml
    • GitHub Actions — 生成 .github/workflows/ci.yml
    • 两者 — 生成两个文件,保持一致

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.

project-initializer is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyberelf/agent_skills (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 178 tokens to every session and 5,516 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
