start

start is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from ertra/pm-brain-for-cursor. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup workflow that builds company background information from the company's name and website. It researches public information and fills the repository's context templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard a company, provide its name and homepage, research its public presence, and populate the repository's context files.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the business background they need before working on company-specific tasks. This reduces repeated explanations and helps keep project documents grounded in the company context.

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

start 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 5d 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 — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start — Company context bootstrap

Collect company name and website URL, research the public web, then populate 01-context/ from 02-templates/context/. Braindump gate does not apply.


First turn — opening message (strict)

When /start is invoked and both company name and website URL are not already confirmed in the user's message:

  • Use a one-sentence preamble only, then the two input prompts. No greeting, skill overview, step list, links, or extra explanation.
  • Do not mention research, subagents, templates, or next steps until inputs are confirmed.

Allowed opening (keep this shape; wording may vary slightly):

I'll fill 01-context/ for you — I just need two pieces of info:

Company name — display name for your company
Website URL — homepage (e.g. https://example.com)

Use AskQuestion when available with the same preamble plus exactly those two fields; otherwise post the preamble and two prompts in chat.

If the user already provided name or URL in the invoke message, use the same one-sentence preamble and ask only for the missing field.


Step 0 — Collect inputs (strict)

Before any web fetch or file write, obtain and confirm:

  1. Company name (display name)
  2. Website URL (homepage)

If the user invoked /start with name or URL in the message, confirm both values before proceeding — still without extra explanatory text until both are set.

Normalize URL:

  • Ensure scheme: https:// (upgrade http:// if needed)
  • Strip trailing slash from path (keep path if not homepage)
  • Reject obviously invalid URLs (no domain)

Do not fetch the web, spawn research, or write files until both values are confirmed.


Step 1 — Spawn company-context-researcher

Do not research inline in the main context when a subagent is available — isolated research reduces hallucination and keeps the orchestrator focused on template mapping.

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.
