select-project

A project-selection workflow for repositories that contain multiple projects, known as a monorepo. It reads the repository configuration, lists available projects and their specification files, and records the chosen project as active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to switch between projects, inspect their paths and specifications, and set the project context for later tasks.
Why use it?
It avoids working in the wrong application or service when several projects share one repository. It also shows which planning documents are present before work begins.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 34 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 380 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

select-project 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.

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.

What it actually says

Select Project Skill

Quick project switching within a configured monorepo.

Workflow

Step 1: Load Config

Read .groundwork.yml from the repo root.

If not found: "No .groundwork.yml found. Run /groundwork:setup-repo to configure your repository first."

Step 2: List Projects

Present available projects with their spec status:

## Available Projects

| # | Project | Path | Specs |
|---|---------|------|-------|
| 1 | web-app | apps/web-app | PRD, Architecture, Tasks |
| 2 | mobile-app | apps/mobile-app | PRD |
| 3 | api-server | services/api | (none) |

For each project, check if <path>/specs/ exists and what spec files are present.

Use AskUserQuestion to ask which project to work on.

Step 3: Set Context

Persist the selection and use the returned project/root values as the active context:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/persist-project.js "<selected-name>"

The script resolves its own harness-specific selection scope internally — no env vars required.

Confirm: "Switched to project . Specs at <path>/specs/."

Step 4: Show Status

After switching, show the project's spec status:

  • PRD: exists / missing
  • Architecture: exists / missing
  • Tasks: exists / missing
  • Design System: exists / missing

Suggest next action based on what's available.

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.

select-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository etr/groundwork (42 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 380 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
