A setup procedure for starting the standard two-agent command-line team: Claude Code and Codex. It runs the bootstrap command, checks that both agents are live, and waits for their readiness message.

Use it to begin a normal Interlateral command-line agent session and verify that both participants are ready.

It removes the manual work of starting the expected agents and confirming that they can communicate. It also makes clear which agents are included and which are not.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00059	$0.01024
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00410
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00205
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00102

Security

Grade A, and why

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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Init

Purpose

Use this skill when a fresh bootstrap agent is asked to initialize the normal Interlateral CLI mesh.

This skill starts exactly the standard duo:

Claude Code in ia-claude
Codex in ia-codex

It does not launch Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Antigravity Desktop, desktop inbox peers, or extra workers. Those peers are opt-in only when Principal Human explicitly selects them outside the standard init flow.

The agent running this skill is the bootstrap operator. It is not a mesh peer and should not claim a mesh identity.

Boundaries

Do not use this skill for:

desktop peers
quartet teams
extra workers
Gemini or Antigravity peers
sprint role assignment
long-running collaboration patterns

For desktop peers, use desktop-mesh-peer. For transport details, live comms mechanics, ACK proof, direct-send rules, and troubleshooting, use mesh-comms-core. For quartet work, use ready-rock-quartet.

init is the normal CLI bootstrap entrypoint. It also orients operators to the rest of the live-comms skill map: desktop-mesh-peer for Claude Desktop or Codex Desktop, and mesh-comms-core for the shared tmux/direct-injection substrate.

Defaults

me.sh owns the launch mechanics and prints the exact commands before starting the sessions.

Defaults:

Claude model: claude-opus-5-5 (claude-opus-4-7 is refused)
Codex model: gpt-6.1-sol at high effort (CODEX_EFFORT=high); Astra only with explicit owner approval
Ready phrase: Reporting for Duty!
tmux socket: /tmp/interlateral-agents-tmux.sock

Model and argument defaults are configurable with environment variables:

CLAUDE_MODEL=claude-opus-5-5 CODEX_MODEL=gpt-6.1-sol CODEX_EFFORT=high ./me.sh
CLAUDE_ARGS="..." CODEX_ARGS="..." ./me.sh

Procedure

Change to the agents repo:

cd path/to/interlateral_agents

Run the standard initializer:

./me.sh

Use ./me.sh --force only when the human explicitly accepts replacing attached ia-claude or ia-codex windows.

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.

init is a skill published in the GitHub repository dazzaji/interlateral_agents (11 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,024 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-03.
