setup-adam

setup-adam is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Justinmendezai/The-Adam-Repo. It costs 46 tokens per session (846 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A one-time setup workflow for adding the Adam orchestration structure to a product repository. It creates missing folders, planning files, control templates, configuration files, and context files without replacing existing content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting the Adam build process in a repository that lacks its planning and control structure. It creates or fills in items such as packet, plan, slices, agent-control, scratch, and Adam configuration files.
Why use it?
It gives a new repository the files needed to manage ideas, plans, slices of work, reviews, handoffs, and orchestration runs. It also keeps setup safe to repeat.

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

setup-adam 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 12d 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.

Workflow

  1. Confirm target repo path (cwd if git root).

  2. If packet/ etc. exist, only add missing dirs — never destroy content.

  3. Seed agent-control/ and orchestration-runs/README.md copy-if-missing from ~/adam/foundation/repo/ (includes slice-status.md, human-queue.md, rework-ledger.md, and other control-plane templates).

  4. Seed adam/context/ templates from ~/adam/adam/context/*.template.md if files absent.

  5. Run adam-foundation-sync.

  6. Write adam.json from foundation/adam.json if missing. Mirror the same file to .cursor/adam.json, .agents/adam.json, and .claude/adam.json (create dirs; overwrite mirrors only when they match an older Adam template, never when the user customized them).

    topology_depth: 2 — orchestrator → worker (recommended public default). Set 3 to enable Tier-2 dispatch-manager for large builds.

    auto_merge_to_main: false — safer default for OSS users; enable when you trust CI + gates.

  7. Append scratch/ to .gitignore if missing. Track agent-control/, adam/context/, and plan/ unless the user opts out.

  8. If packet/PACKET.md is missing: do not tell the operator to copy a template. When invoked from calibrate, calibrate drafts it. When invoked standalone and adam/context/founder.md exists, draft a minimal PACKET.md from that context. Otherwise create packet/ and stay in conversation to fill the brief in plain language.

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.
