dx-init

dx-init is a skill for Claude Code from dikamilo/dx-workflow. It costs 27 tokens per session (768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup command that creates a documented folder structure for development standards, project knowledge, changes, and archived work. It also adds baseline rules to the root CLAUDE.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize a project for the dx- workflow, add starter standards, and prepare files that later discovery steps can fill with project-specific information.
Why use it?
It gives the workflow a consistent place to store project context and standards while preserving files that already exist.

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

dx-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 22d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dx-init

Set up the context/ tree the dx- workflow reads and writes. Idempotent by contract: create what's missing, never touch what exists. Re-running is safe.

Scaffold

Create (only if absent) under context/:

foundation/    glossary.md, lessons.md, research/
standards/     global/, frontend/, backend/, testing/
efforts/  changes/  archive/
config/        review-policies/, templates/
  • Standards: decide first whether context/standards/ existed before this run.
    • Absent (fresh context): seed the three global standards by copying ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/assets/standards/global/*.md into context/standards/global/.
    • Present: copy nothing — a project removes and replaces the shipped standards, and re-seeding resurrects what it deleted. List the shipped standards that aren't in context/standards/global/ and ask which, if any, to copy. Copy only the ones the user names; never overwrite an existing file.
  • Seed the review Policies and templates by copying ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/assets/config/ into context/config/ (review-policies/*.md and templates/*.md), missing files only. They are user-owned from then on: /dx-review reads them, and a project may edit or add to them.
  • standards/{frontend,backend,testing}/ ship empty — dx-standards-discover fills them per-project from the real codebase.
  • foundation/glossary.md and foundation/lessons.md get a one-line header each and nothing more (e.g. # Glossary — ubiquitous language for this project / # Lessons — accrued warnings and load-bearing decisions (append-only)). They stay empty; dx-domain-discover and dx-lesson fill them.

Agent instructions file

Write to the project's root AGENTS.md when it exists and CLAUDE.md is absent or holds only a pointer to it (e.g. @AGENTS.md); otherwise write to CLAUDE.md, creating it if absent. Keep everything dx- owns inside one managed block, so later injections edit only that block and the rest of the file stays the user's:

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.
