iso-ai-init

iso-ai-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from IsaiaScope/ai. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,777 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup routine for installing and connecting a set of AI coding tools. It applies general settings everywhere and adds repository-specific tools only inside a Git repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare an AI coding environment, configure context compression and code-minimalism tools, connect supported MCP servers, and add Graphify commands to a repository.
Why use it?
It removes the need to install and configure these tools manually, while avoiding repository setup where no Git repository exists.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: PreToolUse hook event, but also reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it to prepare an AI coding environment, configure context compression and code-minimalism tools, connect supported MCP servers, and add Graphify commands to a repository.

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 B, and why

iso-ai-init scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (scripts/init-runner.js, scripts/init-runner.test.js, templates/caveman-init.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

iso-ai-init

Set up IsaiaScope AI defaults. Some steps are global (run anywhere, even outside a git repo); others are repo-scoped (run only inside a git working tree). The manifest-driven runner decides which apply — being outside a repo is not an error, it just skips the repo-scoped steps.

Scope Step Runs
global Caveman (ultra + shrink + statusline) always
global MCP shrink (allowlist) always
global headroom (context compression) install + Claude/Codex wiring always
global ponytail (code-minimalism) install + Claude/Codex wiring always
repo Graphify CLI install + /graphify wiring only inside a git repo

Deterministic orchestration lives in scripts/init-runner.js, driven by steps.json. Each enabled Init step points at an independently owned script in templates/. Resolve paths against the skill base directory (where this SKILL.md lives), referred to below as <skill-base-dir>.

Step 0 — Deterministic Init run

Run the manifest-driven runner first:

node <skill-base-dir>/scripts/init-runner.js

The runner evaluates whether the current directory is a git repo, filters repo-scoped Init steps outside git repos, executes enabled steps in steps.json order, and prints the summary. Add or remove deterministic Init steps by editing steps.json plus the step script, not by rewriting this skill.

After the runner completes, continue to Step 3b only if the runner ran inside a git repo.

Implementation detail — Gate

The old gate remains as human-readable implementation detail and dependency documentation. It does a hard node check (node is required by caveman install, the MCP-shrink script, and the statusline merge — fail fast here, not mid-step), then prints IN_GIT_REPO=true|false on its first line plus a human-readable plan. Do not use it as the primary ordering interface; scripts/init-runner.js and steps.json own deterministic ordering and scope filtering.

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.

iso-ai-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository IsaiaScope/ai (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 3,777 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
