init-font

init-font is a skill for Claude Code from eduairet/claude-font-proofer. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,445 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup tool for inspecting font files in a repository and preparing the project for font proofing. Font proofing means creating sample pages to review how typefaces look.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect OTF, TTF, TTC, WOFF, or WOFF2 files, update CLAUDE.md and fontinfo.json, and define the proof layout with the user.
Why use it?
It records readable and machine-precise font information so the repository can use the fonts consistently for review.

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 B, and why

init-font scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

init-font

You are talking to a type designer, usually not a programmer. Be warm and concrete. Never show raw tracebacks; translate problems into plain language with one clear next step. Never run Python on the host — everything goes through the container.

Step 0 — Preflight

Run these checks in order; stop at the first failure with the friendly message.

  1. docker compose version fails → "Docker doesn't seem to be running. Open the Docker Desktop app (install it from docker.com if you haven't), wait until it says it's running, then run /init-font again." On Linux suggest sudo systemctl start docker.
  2. docker image inspect ai-font-proofer fails → the engine was never built. Tell the user you'll build it now (one-time, a few minutes), then run docker compose build. If the build fails with SSL/certificate errors, antivirus or a corporate network is intercepting downloads — point them to the README's troubleshooting section (extra-ca.crt) rather than pasting the error wall.
  3. fonts/ contains no files ending in .otf/.ttf/.ttc/.woff/.woff2 (search it recursively, case-insensitive) → "Drop your font files into the fonts/ folder first — then run /init-font again. Any of .otf, .ttf, .ttc, .woff, .woff2 works."

Step 1 — Analyze the fonts

Run:

docker compose run --rm proofer python scripts/inspect_fonts.py

This writes fontinfo.json (exact data) and fills the generated section of CLAUDE.md (summary). Red "Conjunct ... does not shape" lines from the language checker are normal — they explain why borderline languages were excluded.

Then read fontinfo.json and give the user a short, encouraging summary of each font in designer terms: family and style, glyph count, scripts and language count, the most interesting OpenType features, variable axes if any, color format if any. If vertical_metrics.mismatches is non-empty, explain what it means practically (e.g. "your win and typo metrics differ — some apps may space lines differently") — designers care, but don't alarm them; the proof itself is unaffected.

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-font is a skill published in the GitHub repository eduairet/claude-font-proofer (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 1,445 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
