setup

A one-time project setup command for saving and restoring work context between coding sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating the carry-forward folder, connecting its context file to the project instructions, and preparing later save or load commands.
Why use it?
It prepares the project so important context can carry forward instead of being recreated each time.

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 2d 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

Current project state (auto-injected)

Existing CLAUDE.md content (if any):

!`cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "(no CLAUDE.md yet — will be created)"`

Existing carry-forward directory (if any):

!`ls carry-forward/ 2>/dev/null || echo "(not yet set up)"`

Instructions

Call mcp__carry-forward__setup_project with cwd = current working directory.

Report the result verbatim.

If CLAUDE.md already existed (shown above), confirm that the @carry-forward/context.md line was added without disturbing existing content.

Then tell the user:

Setup complete. Restart Claude Code for the @carry-forward/context.md import to take effect — after that, your saved context loads automatically at the start of every session.

Next: Use /carry-forward:save at the end of this session to write your first context snapshot.

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository gowtham012/Claude-plugins (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 273 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
