init-rpm

init-rpm is a skill for Claude Code from dppdppd/rpm. It costs 48 tokens per session (5,793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup and checking routine for RPM, a system that records project context, current status, past work, and future tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting RPM in a project or verifying and safely updating an existing RPM setup.
Why use it?
It creates the expected project records and checks that an existing setup still matches the required structure.

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

init-rpm 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/detect.sh, scripts/repair.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.

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 — 647 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/init-rpm — Full Instructions

Project setup and verification. First run creates rpm context for a project. Repeat runs verify that an existing rpm setup matches the latest expected layout and apply safe migrations.

Run once per project, or run again after installing rpm in a new agent runtime such as Codex. On repeat runs, do not re-ask first-run project context questions unless a required canonical file is missing and the answer cannot be inferred from existing files. If docs/rpm/context.md already exists, read it and augment — do not overwrite. Merge in missing sections only.

If any docs/rpm/ content already exists, treat this as an rpm migration/update, not a brand-new install. Preserve existing rpm files, create only missing canonical files (context.md, past/log.md, present/status.md, future/tasks.org, future/done.org, reviews/), and migrate legacy names when present:

  • docs/rpm/FUTURE.org or docs/rpm/future/FUTURE.org -> docs/rpm/future/tasks.org
  • docs/rpm/PRESENT.md or docs/rpm/present/PRESENT.md -> docs/rpm/present/status.md
  • docs/rpm/RPM-LOG.md or docs/rpm/past/RPM-LOG.md -> docs/rpm/past/log.md
  • docs/rpm/RPM.md -> docs/rpm/context.md

Narrate as you go. At each phase, tell the user what's about to happen in one short sentence before doing it — users should never be surprised by what /init-rpm creates or writes.

Phase 0: Introduce

Before running anything, detect whether this is a first run:

  • If docs/rpm/ does not exist, use the first-run introduction below.
  • If any docs/rpm/ content exists, this is a repeat run. Use the verification introduction below, then follow Repeat-run verification mode.

First-run wording (adapt freely):

## /init-rpm — rpm first-run setup

I'll set up rpm (Relentless Project Manager) for this project. Here's
what I'm about to do:

1. Detect the project — language, tests, existing docs
2. Ask 1–3 questions I can't answer from the codebase
3. Create `docs/rpm/` scaffolding (context, trackers, past/future/reviews)
4. Create an agent instructions file if one is missing
5. Ask once for runtime permissions if the active agent supports them
6. Summarize what was created

Starting with detection.

Changes

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.
