init-workspace

init-workspace is a skill for Claude Code from gtrabanco/agentic-workflow. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,720 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workspace setup assistant for adapting an agentic-workflow scaffold to a repository. A scaffold is a starter set of files and rules for working with coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It sets up or upgrades the workflow documentation, repository-state ledger, project instructions, templates, and missing support files.
Why use it?
It avoids leaving generic placeholders in a new setup and requires permission before installing or overwriting anything.

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 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Init Workspace

Turn an empty or existing repo into one that works with the agentic workflow: copy the generic scaffold, then tailor it to this project instead of leaving raw placeholders.

Turn contract — verify before ending the turn

✓ The adapted scaffold and repository-state ledger are written (or the merge/abort decision was asked) and remaining placeholders are listed
✓ Nothing was installed or overwritten without an explicit yes
✓ Artifact language: explicit user instruction > the project's declared docs language > English. The CONVERSATION language never decides — a Spanish prompt still produces English PRs/issues/commits/SPECs unless one of the first two says otherwise
✓ The closing `→ Next:` block is printed as the ABSOLUTE last output

About to end the turn with any box unchecked? The turn is NOT done — complete the missing box first (weak models drop end-of-document duties; this list is first on purpose).

When to use

  • Setting up a repo to use these skills and you want the documentation substrate (AGENTS.md + docs/ map + templates) adapted to the project, not just copied.
  • Prefer this over a static npx degit gtrabanco/agentic-workflow/template when you want the gate commands, architecture, and doc domains filled in by interview.

Step 0 — Discover the project (always first)

Inspect the target dir ([target-dir], default cwd) before touching anything:

  • An existing agent guide (AGENTS.md, or a legacy CLAUDE.md), docs/, .github/? If so, do not clobber — check first whether it's an agentic-workflow scaffold (marker: an agent guide present and either docs/features/ROADMAP.md or a docs/workflow/ dir). If both markers are present, offer upgrade as the default action, alongside merge / adapt-in-place / abort — see Upgrade mode below. If an agent guide or docs/ exists but the markers are absent (a foreign scaffold), stay in bootstrap and ask merge / adapt in place / abort as before.
  • Detect the stack from manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, Gemfile, …) to propose gate commands and naming conventions.
  • Note the git state (is it a repo, what's the default branch, and the remote URL → forge: github.com → GitHub/gh, gitlab → GitLab/glab, else ask).

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.
