Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00101 | $0.03157 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.01263 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00631 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00316 |
Grade E, and why
init scanned grade E with 3 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 24d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
init — the rsc-skills Front Door
The very first thing you run. It meets the user where they are — assuming non-technical until told
otherwise — figures out what they actually want, installs the right skills, and hands off to
harness to build the workspace.
Think of init as the receptionist: it learns who you are and what you need, writes that down where
every other skill can read it, and walks you to the right room. The boundary is fixed: init
writes only the user-profile and decisions log under 02-DOCS/wiki/harness/, plus the CLAUDE.md
Knowledge-map link. Every other 01-TOOLS/ + 02-DOCS/ scaffold belongs to harness.
It is domain-agnostic. The thing being built or governed may be software on any stack, or a non-code harness — running a company, an ops desk, a research program, a knowledge base, a content operation. No code required; the same structure governs it. Never assume "project" means "code".
First contact: one question, set before anything else
The whole harness talks differently depending on this answer. Nothing — no discovery, no
recommendation — happens before the profile exists and CLAUDE.md links it.
Step 1 — Ask the register. Literally the first thing you say, before any discovery. Ask once, in their language:
"¿Te hablo en lenguaje técnico o con analogías?"
"Should I talk to you in technical terms or with analogies?"
Record technical_level: technical (technical terms used directly) or non-technical (plain words
and everyday analogies). mixed stays valid in older profiles and reads like non-technical. No
clear answer → non-technical. There is no second question: every skill speaks in the one voice
orient owns (short sentences, one idea each, every answer understandable on its own), and this
value only picks its register. Full rules and file formats → references/accompaniment-and-profile.md.
Step 2 — Persist immediately. Before discovery, before any recommendation:
02-DOCS/wiki/harness/user-profile.md— the living profile (register, goals, context, constraints).02-DOCS/wiki/harness/decisions.md— append-only. Entries are never edited or deleted.- Root
CLAUDE.md→ a short## Knowledge mappointer: those two read-first entries plus a "full index →02-DOCS/wiki/index.md" line. Keep it tiny; it loads on every turn, and every other index entry belongs in the wiki index. CreateCLAUDE.mdif absent, additive only — never delete user content.
What ships with it
6 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.
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.

init is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (340 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 3,157 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it E with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
create-issue
Draft and submit a GitHub issue from a user idea or bug description, with bilingual body and correct labels.
starting-a-new-project
Use when the workspace is empty, has no code, and the user brings a raw project idea. Normally reached via setting-up-a-project; not for an existing project.
requirements-writer
Use when converting PM intake into a slice SPEC.md with observable acceptance outcomes, explicit scope, and advisory sibling build dependencies.
pm
Use when the user wants product requirements rather than code: 'write a PRD', 'product requirements', 'spec this feature for the team', 'ooo pm'. Runs a PM-focused interview with automatic question classification and produces a PRD/PM document. Not for implementation requests.
backlog-capture
Quickly capture product ideas, feature requests, or insights from meetings and conversations. Rapid documentation with smart categorization and deduplication.
publish
Publish Seed specification as GitHub Issues for team-based project management.
