Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

new-project 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 229 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

New Project

Scaffold a new project at ~/dev/<org>/<name> with everything a project needs on day one: an initialized git repo with a remote, a project CLAUDE.md seeded from the house template, a type-appropriate .gitignore, a placeholder-only .env, a mandatory LAB_NOTEBOOK.md, a kill-criteria BRIEF.md, and an initial commit pushed to the new remote.

This is a side-effect-only skill (disable-model-invocation: true) — it never runs proactively. Invoke it explicitly: /new-project <org>/<name> [--type python|node|docs] [--gitea].

Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Expected form: <org>/<name> [--type python|node|docs] [--gitea]

  • <org> — one of cfa, personal, stratfield, cgi. Selects the target directory ~/dev/<org>/.
  • <name> — kebab-case project name. Becomes the directory name and the GitHub/Gitea repo name.
  • --type python|node|docs — optional. Selects the .gitignore template (Step (d)). Omit for a minimal generic .gitignore.
  • --gitea — optional. Create the remote on the shared Gitea instance instead of GitHub (Step (b)).

Validation (before doing anything else)

  1. Parse <org>/<name> from the first argument token. If it doesn't match org/name shape, stop and ask for it in that form.
  2. <org> must be exactly one of cfa, personal, stratfield, cgi. If not, stop: Error: org must be one of cfa, personal, stratfield, cgi (got '<org>').
  3. If --type is given, its value must be exactly one of python, node, docs. If not, stop: Error: --type must be one of python, node, docs (got '<value>').
  4. Abort if ~/dev/<org>/<name> already exists — do not touch, merge into, or overwrite an existing directory. Report the existing path and stop.

Instructions

Execute the steps below in order. Steps (g) and (i) have a real dependency: the lab-notebook init in (g) creates a fresh LAB_NOTEBOOK.md entry, which is what satisfies the lab-notebook-gate pre-commit hook's "entry within 24h" check for the commit in (i). Do not reorder (i) ahead of (g).

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.
