inspecto-onboarding

inspecto-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from inspecto-dev/inspecto. It costs 23 tokens per session (572 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of inspecto-onboarding, MIT.

A setup workflow for installing and configuring Inspecto in a project used with Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard Inspecto, choose the correct project target when needed, apply proposed changes, and complete any required editor-extension setup.
Why use it?
It guides target selection, confirmation, patches, and follow-up checks so the setup is applied to the intended local development build.

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

inspecto-onboarding 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 6d 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.

Inspecto Onboarding

When the user asks Cursor to set up Inspecto:

  1. Prefer the single-entry flow: onboard --json.
  2. If the result returns status: "needs_target_selection", explain that this step chooses which local development build target should receive the Inspecto plugin and settings. Choose one returned target candidate and rerun with --target <candidateId>, preferring the explicit candidateId field. The CLI also accepts a returned configPath as a compatibility fallback. Do not collapse the selection back to a package path when multiple build configs exist in the same package.
  3. If the result returns status: "needs_confirmation", summarize the proposed changes and wait for approval before rerunning with --yes.
  4. If the result returns status: "partial_success" and diagnostics.nextSteps includes IDE extension installation, treat that as a blocking onboarding follow-up. Do not move on to dev-server validation until the extension is installed automatically or the user confirms they completed the manual install.
  5. If the result includes handoff.patches, treat them as the primary source of truth for the remaining work. Apply those patches directly before exploring framework docs or unrelated project files.
  6. Only do broader documentation or repo exploration when a returned patch is clearly insufficient or conflicts with the local project structure.
  7. Use node packages/cli/bin/inspecto.js when working inside the Inspecto repository.
  8. Otherwise prefer an already available inspecto executable before falling back to npx @inspecto-dev/cli@latest.
  9. Use doctor --json only for explicit recovery diagnostics.

Rules:

  • Treat IDE extension installation as required before runtime verification.
  • Let the Inspecto CLI perform dependency installation and config generation.
  • Use the CLI's verification field as the source of truth for the dev-server step.
  • Default to .inspecto/settings.local.json and .inspecto/prompts.local.json.
  • Do not rewrite Inspecto config files manually unless the user asks for a manual fallback.
  • Prefer handoff.patches, handoff.pendingSteps, and handoff.assistantPrompt over ad-hoc investigation. Do not start with Next.js or Nuxt documentation searches when the CLI already returned concrete patch targets.

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.
