dx-init is a skill for Claude Code from easingthemes/dx-aem-flow. It costs 43 tokens per session (12,047 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup tool for configuring the dx development workflow and creating its supporting files.

In plain words

Use it to detect the environment, set project options, create configuration, and check or update workflow files when setup is run again.
Why use it?
It gives a new project the configuration and shared files needed before the other dx tools can be used.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

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

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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/detect-env.sh, scripts/install-copilot-agents.sh, scripts/scaffold.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 — 949 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You configure the dx workflow for the current project by detecting the environment, asking the user a few key questions, and generating .ai/config.yaml.

Re-run Validation Protocol

CRITICAL: When dx-init is re-run on a project that is already set up, EVERY step MUST execute. NEVER stop early. If the user chooses "Keep as-is" for config, skip to step 5 and continue through ALL remaining steps (5→6→7→8→9→10→11). Each step validates existing files against plugin data:

File Category Re-run Behavior
Config (config.yaml) Ask: keep / modify / regenerate
Utility scripts (audit.sh, stop-guard.sh) Compare against plugin version → update silently if changed
Template-generated (README.md, agent.index.md) Compare against latest template → update if template is newer
Docs (.ai/docs/) Removed — plugin docs are public at https://easingthemes.github.io/dx-aem-flow/
Rule files (.ai/rules/, .claude/rules/) Compare against template → if only template changed: update. If user customized: report diff, ask user
User-owned (me.md) Never touch — always skip
MCP config (.mcp.json) Validate configured values match current project config

The scaffold script handles utility and rule validation automatically. Template-generated files are validated inline by each step.

1. Check Existing Config

Check if .ai/config.yaml exists at the project root (use Glob tool).

  • If it exists: Read and display the current config, then ask: "Config already exists. (A) Keep as-is, (B) Modify, or (C) Start fresh?"
    • If A: Say "Config kept. Validating all project files..." — then check if .ai/config.yaml has a preferences: section with both auto-commit and auto-pr keys. If either key is missing: run Step 4 (Preferences) to ask the user, then append the preferences: section to the existing config.yaml. After that, CONTINUE to step 5 to validate all generated files, scripts, rules, and templates. DO NOT stop or exit. The re-run must validate everything.
    • If B: Load existing values as defaults, go to step 2
    • If C: Go to step 2 with no defaults
  • If it doesn't exist: Say "No dx config found. Let's set up your project." Go to step 2.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
