setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 31 tokens per session (234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup router that decides which Codex Copilot setup or verification workflow a project needs. It checks whether the request concerns shared tooling, a new project, an update, or a verification pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose between machine setup, project setup, updates, and verification, then report the selected path and required fixes.
Why use it?
It avoids using the wrong setup procedure and checks for missing tools, links, metadata, memory directories, and configuration. It also avoids replacing existing project files without approval.

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

setup 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Setup

Route setup requests to the right Codex Copilot workflow.

Workflow

  1. If running in the framework repo, use $setup-copilot to verify shared tooling.
  2. If running in a target project without Codex Copilot wiring, use $setup-project.
  3. If wiring exists but may be stale, use $update-project.
  4. Verify cc, tc, plugin metadata, skill links, and memory/config directories.
  5. Never replace existing project files without explicit current approval.

Output

  • detected context
  • selected setup path
  • missing tools or files
  • verification commands

Work Lifecycle

Apply the shared work lifecycle once per task, including direct invocation of this skill: start/resume, maintain, pause/handoff, finish and later reuse. Keep the checkpoint proportional in the existing record; a small answer does not need a new task or document.

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.
