init-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eugenelim/agent-ready-repo. It costs 126 tokens per session (2,974 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided starting process for turning a new software idea into a structured code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a maintainable service, library, or multi-part application from scratch.
Why use it?
It helps establish the project’s decisions, documentation, first working slice, and development process before the codebase grows.

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

init-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 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.

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 — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: init-project

The greenfield front door. An idea arrives and there is no repo yet — no foundation recorded, no first slice built. The temptation is to yolo a throwaway prototype, get it sort-of working, then retrofit structure and lose the rationale. This skill gives that path a home: it turns an idea into a structured repo by composing the skills the repo already owns. It orchestrates; it does not reinvent, and it is not an autonomous code generator — the human stays in the loop and the existing skills do the work.

It is the twin of adapt-to-project (the brownfield front door, for an existing repo). Both converge on the same downstream loop: brief → reference.md → spec → low-level design → work-loop.

When to invoke

Invoke when the unit of work is a brand-new repo from an idea and there are real stack / structure / tooling decisions ahead — a service, a library, a multi-component app someone will maintain. The tells: "start a new project", "bootstrap this idea into a repo", "we're greenfielding X".

Do not use it when:

  • You are inside an existing codebase → adapt-to-project is the brownfield front door.
  • You want to author one feature from scratch → new-spec.
  • The thing ahead is a script, a spike, or a throwaway with no real structural decisions → the trigger gate (stage 1) sends it straight to scaffolding; don't force the flow onto it.

The flow — five phases, fluid not waterfall

The five stages below are fluid phases of attention, not a waterfall. You revisit them as understanding firms up — authoring the walking skeleton routinely sends you back to amend the foundation, and that's the flow working, not failing. Each phase practises a scoped handoff: it passes the next phase only the artifacts that phase needs, nothing more.

The skill composes existing skills and assets by reference — it names them and hands off to them; it never restates their procedures and never imports their code.

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.
