init-project

init-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flonat/flonat-research. It costs 32 tokens per session (937 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided starter for new research projects that creates the project folders, research context files, Git repository, and optional Overleaf link.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a research paper or study to record the question, authors, venue, methods, files, and collaboration setup.
Why use it?
It turns initial project decisions into a ready-to-use workspace instead of leaving the research structure to be assembled manually.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Init Project — Research Project Scaffolder

Interactive project setup: answer questions, get a ready-to-use research project directory.

Protocol

Phase 1: Interview

Ask the user these questions using AskUserQuestion (adapt based on what's already known):

  1. Project name — short name for the directory (e.g., nudge-experiment)
  2. Paper title — working title for the paper
  3. Research question — one sentence
  4. Target journal/venue — where you plan to submit
  5. Co-authors — names and affiliations (if any)
  6. Parent directory — where to create the project (default: ~/Research/)
  7. Overleaf path — path to Overleaf-synced directory for symlink (optional)
  8. Methodology — experimental, observational, theoretical, simulation, mixed

Phase 2: Scaffold

Create the directory structure:

<project-name>/
├── CLAUDE.md               # Project-specific Claude instructions
├── README.md               # Project overview

├── paper/                  # → Overleaf symlink (or empty dir)

├── log/                    # Session logs
│   └── plans/              # Saved plans
└── .gitignore

Phase 3: Populate Files

CLAUDE.md — project-specific instructions:

  • Paper title and research question
  • Co-authors and target venue
  • Methodology and key conventions
  • Pointer to project context files

README.md — human-readable overview:

  • Project title and description
  • Directory structure explanation
  • How to compile the paper
  • Co-author information

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.
