init-workspace-discovery

init-workspace-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from griddynamics/rosetta. It costs 10 tokens per session (743 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workspace-initialization skill that creates or updates a factual inventory of a software project. It documents the technologies, dependencies, directory structure, and important source files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work in a repository or when its project documentation is missing or stale. It helps identify languages, frameworks, build tools, package managers, and the main code paths.
Why use it?
It prevents later work from relying on an incomplete or outdated understanding of the codebase. The inventory gives developers a shared starting point before making changes.

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-workspace-discovery 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 4d 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.

<when_to_use_skill>

Without factual inventory of tech stack, structure, and dependencies, subsequent phases operate blind. Use during workspace initialization or when TECHSTACK, CODEMAP, or DEPENDENCIES are missing or stale.

</when_to_use_skill>

  1. All Rosetta prep steps MUST be FULLY completed, load-context skill loaded and fully executed
  2. Read existing TECHSTACK, CODEMAP, DEPENDENCIES — update if present, create if missing
  3. Detect languages, frameworks, build tools, package managers, runtime environments → write TECHSTACK
  4. Existing documentation may be stale or incomplete, prioritize source code artifacts over pre-existing documents
  5. Generate CODEMAP via shell commands (no pseudo graphics), 3-4 levels deep
    • Perform basic discovery yourself with few commands
    • Enumerate git repositories yourself
    • Markdown headers = workspace-relative path + recursive children count + <10 words description
    • List only immediate children files and only with file names
    • List target repository source code, static assets, and documentation files based on tech stack
    • Exclude noise/caches/build/binary files, files excluded by .gitignore
    • Implement as a single shell script in agents/TEMP/ folder
    • Use git ls-files --cached --others --exclude-standard in each repository or fallback to find/ls/etc with filters
  6. List direct dependencies (project, package, version) → write DEPENDENCIES
  7. Preserve human-added sections in existing files
  8. Update (or create only if missing) .gitignore in git root folder by adding lines according to bootstrap_rosetta_files Minimal set must be present:
    ...
    # Rosetta
    agents/TEMP/
    refsrc/
    !refsrc/INDEX.md
    

DEPENDENCIES.md

  • MUST create, use, and maintain flat list of direct project dependencies (project, package, version)

TECHSTACK.md

  • MUST create, use, and maintain project stack and key stack decisions

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.
