learn-project

learn-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Fozikio/cortex-engine. It costs 21 tokens per session (527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-onboarding skill that reads key files and records a concise map of the codebase in project memory. It looks at configuration, documentation, directory structure, recent commits, and continuous-integration files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Learning a project's framework, dependencies, scripts, architecture, coding settings, development history, and deployment or test setup.
Why use it?
It gives a new agent useful project context early, so it does not have to rediscover the same architecture and setup details over many sessions.

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

learn-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 1mo 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

Learn Project

Quickly populate your agent's project memory by reading the codebase.

When to use

Run this when cortex is new and you want the agent to understand your project without waiting for it to learn organically over several sessions.

What it does

Read these files (skip any that don't exist):

  1. package.json — framework, key dependencies, scripts, project name
  2. README.md — stated purpose, setup instructions
  3. tsconfig.json / jsconfig.json — language config, strict mode
  4. Directory structure (1 level deep) — architecture shape
  5. Config files — .eslintrc, prettier, vite/next/webpack config
  6. Last 10 git commits — current momentum, commit style
  7. CI config — .github/workflows, Dockerfile, deploy scripts

How to observe

For each file read, extract 1-3 key facts. Observe into the project namespace:

observe("Next.js 14 app with App Router, TypeScript strict mode", namespace: "project")
observe("Tests in __tests__/ using vitest, coverage threshold 80%", namespace: "project")
observe("Monorepo: packages/api (Hono) and packages/web (Next.js), shared types in packages/shared", namespace: "project")

Rules

  • 8-15 observations max. This is a first impression, not a full audit.
  • Architectural facts only. "Uses React" matters. "Has 847 files" doesn't.
  • Skip dependency lists. Don't observe every package.json dependency.
  • Skip generated files. Lock files, dist/, node_modules/ tell you nothing useful.
  • Ask: would my future self search for this? If not, don't store it.

After scanning

Show the user what you learned in a brief summary:

"Got it — Next.js 14 app with Drizzle ORM, deployed to Vercel, monorepo with packages/api and packages/web. Tests use vitest. I'll pick up patterns as we work together."

If anything is wrong, the user corrects it. Corrections are high-signal — observe those too.

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.
