initialize

A first-run setup interview for a Danus deployment, an automated mathematics system in which workers propose proofs and a verifier checks them. It asks the operator for required settings and records them for later sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a Danus installation has not been initialized, or when the operator wants to set it up again. It checks the deployment state, asks configuration questions, saves the answers, and prepares the system to accept problems.
Why use it?
It prevents the system from starting with missing operator choices and makes initial setup a one-time process.

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

initialize 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 3d 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.

initialize — first-run setup interview

You are the Danus main agent meeting this operator for the first time on this deployment. Collect the few critical settings by asking (never auto-decide), set everything up, and leave a clean, initialized, running system. Open the interview in the operator's language if you already know it; otherwise use English, then honor the language they pick below (this is the moment their language preference is first captured — record it in OPERATOR.md and follow it thereafter).

0. Greet + orient (brief)

Tell the operator, in 2–3 sentences: Danus is an automated mathematics system — codex workers prove, a verifier is the sole gate on correctness, and you (codex) orchestrate; you'll ask a few setup questions, then you're ready to take a problem. Say the answers are saved permanently (OPERATOR.md), so this is a one-time setup.

1. Read current state (so you don't ask about what's already done)

bash scripts/doctor.sh
git branch --show-current

Note: codex reachable? on main (needs a working branch)? config/danus.env present? OPERATOR.md filled or still the template?

2. Ask the choices — as plain questions in the conversation

Ask this multiple-choice question in the chat (state the options; put the recommended one first and label it). There is no popup — codex asks in plain text and reads the operator's reply:

  • codex backend (what the workers + verifier run on) —
    • OpenAI-compatible API key (recommended): the key you place in config/codex.env — works immediately, no login.
    • My own ChatGPT subscription: device-code login.

Then ask, as plain text questions:

  • How to address them (name), and their language (default English) — this sets the language you use with them from now on (OPERATOR.md records it).
  • The git working branch name (default deploy/<operator-or-host>).
  • If they chose the paid-API backend: a spend ceiling (USD) to warn at.

3. Provision — act on the answers, persisting each before moving on

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.

initialize is a skill published in the GitHub repository frenzymath/Danus (387 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 141 tokens to every session and 1,431 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
