A guided setup process for building a Context OS, a linked knowledge-base system that preserves information across AI sessions and helps it build on earlier work.

Use it to initialize the folders, configuration, first knowledge entries, and verification steps for a new or existing collection of notes and documents.

It gives a new system a clear starting structure and checks whether stored knowledge can be reused and connected over 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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00107	$0.01587
Opus 5.5	$0.00043	$0.00635
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00317

Security

Grade C, and why

quickstart scanned grade C with 2 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context OS Quickstart

Walk the user through building their first context operating system — a structured knowledge graph where AI compounds intelligence over time.

Approach

Be adaptive. Meet users where they are. Context OS is emergent architecture — it only works with real content to compound. A one-off demo transformation is meaningless.

Step 0: Assess Starting Point

FIRST, before any welcome message, check two things:

Check if context-os CLI is installed: Run context-os --version. If it fails, tell the user: "The context-os CLI is required for graph queries and file heat tracking. Install it first:
- macOS/Linux: curl -fsSL https://install.tastematter.dev/install-context-os.sh | bash
- Windows: irm https://install.tastematter.dev/install-context-os.ps1 | iex Then start the Context OS quickstart again." Stop here if CLI is not installed.
List the target directory and look for existing content: transcripts, docs, notes, raw files

If directory is empty or doesn't exist: → Go to Step 1A (Blank Slate)

If directory has content: → Go to Step 1B (Existing Content)

Step 1A: Blank Slate Flow

"Welcome to Context OS Quickstart.

I'm going to help you build a system where your AI compounds intelligence over time — no more repeating context every session.

Important: Context OS is emergent architecture. It only works when you have real content to ingest. We need YOUR transcripts, docs, notes, or emails.

Two questions:

What's this context OS for?
- GTM / Sales (deals, prospects, positioning)
- Product (specs, decisions, technical knowledge)
- Research (notes, papers, insights)
- Something else?
What content do you have to seed it?
- Meeting transcripts?
- Documents or specs?
- Notes or emails?
- Where are these files located?"

Wait for response. Must have content source identified before proceeding.

Step 1B: Existing Content Flow

"Welcome to Context OS Quickstart.

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.

quickstart is a skill published in the GitHub repository jacob-dietle/context-os (115 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 1,587 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
