setup-project

setup-project is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 34 tokens per session (440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup procedure that connects a repository to the shared Codex Copilot framework. It creates or repairs configuration, links plugins and skills, preserves project-owned files, and runs available checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding a repository to Codex Copilot or refreshing an existing connection. It verifies agent configuration, memory directories, documentation paths, plugin links, and the project quality gate.
Why use it?
It removes the need to wire these files and links together by hand. Re-running it can repair an existing setup without replacing project-specific instructions or documentation.

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-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 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 Project

Wire a project to Codex Copilot.

Workflow

  1. Use scripts/setup-project.sh --project <path> from the framework repo. Safe to re-run: if the project already has a codex-copilot install, this delegates to scripts/update-project.sh to repair the plugin/skill/QA-gate paths in place instead of refusing.
  2. Treat --force as compatibility-only; it changes nothing (there is no longer a refusal to bypass).
  3. Verify generated AGENTS.md, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, .claude/cc/config.json, memory dirs, plugin links, docs/40-initiatives/, and the scripts/copilot-gate.sh link.
  4. Confirm existing AGENTS.md, initiative documentation, and any file marked owner: project were preserved rather than replaced.
  5. Run cc skill list, cc docs sources, cc memory check --json, tc progress --json, and scripts/copilot-gate.sh from the target project when available.
  6. If wiring already exists and you only want a refresh (no first-install scaffolding), use $update-project / scripts/update-project.sh directly.

Output

  • generated files
  • plugin and skill link targets
  • verification results

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.

Existing project instructions are preserved by setup/update. Review their lifecycle coverage and propose the minimal template pointer addition if missing, preserving owner rules. Plugin refresh makes $cleanup available but does not silently edit project-owned AGENTS.md or add lifecycle instructions to standalone optional packs.

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.
