auto-init

auto-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from easingthemes/dx-aem-flow. It costs 42 tokens per session (5,227 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup tool for AWS-based AI automation connected to Azure DevOps. It creates project-owned configuration, infrastructure descriptions, pipelines, and agent runtime files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize automation using Azure DevOps pipelines, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and related AWS services.
Why use it?
It provides the initial structure needed to connect Azure DevOps events to AWS Lambda automation without sharing infrastructure between projects.

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

auto-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 4d 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 — 374 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You scaffold and configure AI automation for the current project. Every project is self-contained — it owns its own AWS infrastructure (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, S3, API Gateway) and its own ADO pipelines. There is no hub/consumer split. Projects share no Lambda infrastructure with each other.

Platform Compatibility

This skill scaffolds Azure DevOps + AWS Lambda automation. It is intentionally narrower than the rest of the dx-* and aem-* skills.

Layer Compatibility
Skill invocation (running /auto-init in your terminal) Claude Code, Copilot CLI, VS Code Chat, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI — same as any other plugin skill
Generated pipelines (.ai/automation/pipelines/) Azure DevOps only — pipeline YAMLs target ADO. No GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or CircleCI templates exist
Generated agent runtime (.ai/automation/agents/) AWS Lambda only — handlers assume Lambda invocation context, Anthropic API, and AWS Secrets Manager. No Cloud Functions, Azure Functions, or self-hosted variants
Webhooks → triggers ADO service hooks → API Gateway → Lambda for work-item agents. PR Review/Answer use ADO build validation policy. SimpleAgent/BugFix use ADO Incoming Webhooks (Azure-native, no Lambda)
AI provider Anthropic Claude API direct (Lambda agents); not Bedrock, Vertex, or other providers
Tracker integration ADO work items + PR APIs. Jira-only projects can install dx-core but not dx-automation

If your project uses GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any CI/CD other than Azure DevOps, do not run /auto-init — it will produce pipeline YAMLs that target the wrong platform. dx-core (/dx-init) and dx-aem (/aem-init) work fine on any tracker/CI combination; only dx-automation is ADO-locked.

This is tracked as a backlog item — see docs/todo/todo-automation.md § CI/CD pipeline portability for non-ADO CI work and docs/todo/todo-provider-support.md for tracker/SCM portability (GitHub as tracker).
