jfrog-init

A setup and troubleshooting command for the JFrog plugin, a tool used to work with JFrog package and artifact services. It checks required software and configuration in a fixed order, stopping at the first failed check and guiding the matching fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
First-time installation, completing JFrog configuration, verifying login or access-token setup, selecting a project, and diagnosing a broken plugin setup.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether Node, the JFrog command-line tool, login, or project selection is preventing the plugin from working.

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 C, and why

jfrog-init scanned grade C 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 24 executable files (scripts/jfrog-add-claude-marketplace.mjs, scripts/jfrog-detect-all.mjs, scripts/jfrog-detect-catalog-runtime.mjs, …), 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 603 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/jfrog-init — verify and guide JFrog plugin readiness

First output must be a tool call, not text. No "I'll start..." preamble.

Walks a fixed, ordered checklist and stops at the first red result, guiding the user through the matching fix before re-checking. Every detector in scripts/ is idempotent, read-only, JSON-emitting, and implemented in Node (.mjs), so the same detector runs unmodified on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Step 3's web-login uses this skill's own local .mjs scripts, same as every other step. The one interactive fix step that isn't a Node script at all is Step 1's Node install itself — a missing Node can't run a .mjs installer, so that one step branches on OS or shell directly.

Approval model — every user-approval point is detailed in its own Step below (exact wording, AskUserQuestion payloads, forbidden phrases); this is just the map:

  • nodeAskUserQuestion Yes/No before auto-installing (Step 1).
  • jf (JFrog CLI)AskUserQuestion Yes/No before auto-installing (Step 2).
  • jf configAskUserQuestion picker (web login, in-session, vs. access token, which never enters this conversation) (Step 3/4).
  • Project selection — the user answers with a project name or key; an AskUserQuestion picker offers the first two enumerated projects plus "Other" (Step 6).
  • Everything else in the walk is read-only, except Step 5's placeholder substitution (writes the plugin's mcp.json, unattended by design — no AskUserQuestion, see references/script-invocation.md), Step 8's ~/.netrc write (also unattended, no AskUserQuestion — see references/marketplace-setup.md), and the Final summary's state write below.

Step 1's nvm install and jfrog-install-jf-cli.mjs, Step 3's web-login scripts, Step 8's jfrog-add-claude-marketplace.mjs call, and the Final summary's jfrog-state-file.mjs set call are deliberately not in allowed-tools and will raise the harness's own approval prompt — intended, not a misconfiguration; see references/script-invocation.md.

${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} below is this file's own directory. Claude Code substitutes it automatically, identically, in both this text and the allowed-tools Bash rules above — write it literally rather than resolving it yourself, so the two stay byte-for-byte consistent regardless of install depth (see references/script-invocation.md). On a harness that doesn't perform this substitution (e.g. Cursor or Codex, neither of which consults allowed-tools for approval — every command below still raises its own prompt there), replace it with the real absolute path of this file's directory yourself, same as before.

What ships with it

41 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
