What is redraft-init?

A setup workflow for adding Redraft, a design-tracking graph, to a coding project. A design-tracking graph records relationships between project decisions or design elements.

It is for creating and registering a Redraft graph for project tracking.

It checks whether tracking is already configured, initializes it when needed, and connects it to Claude Code while avoiding silent overwrites.

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	$0.00055	$0.00626
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.00313
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00125
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00063

Security

Grade A, and why

redraft-init 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip ahead or combine steps.

Already a graph repo? Check whether graph/nodes/ exists at the project root. If it does, this project already has a redraft graph -- verify .mcp.json points at it and stop here; do not re-initialize or touch anything.
Is the engine installed? Run command -v redraft. If it's missing, print the install steps verbatim for the user to run themselves and stop -- do not install it yourself:
```
git clone https://github.com/KaelinGraf/redraft.git redraft
cd redraft
uv tool install --from . redraft
```
Birth the graph. Run redraft init <project root>/redraft-graph. If that directory already exists and is non-empty, ask the user first before doing anything -- never overwrite silently.
Register it at project scope:
```
claude mcp add --scope project -e REDRAFT_DIR=<abs path to redraft-graph> -e PYTHONPATH= --transport stdio redraft -- redraft serve
```
Do not use ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR} here: this .mcp.json is registered from the code project, so CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR would expand to the code project's root, not the graph directory -- REDRAFT_DIR must be spelled out as an absolute path.
Gitignore it. Append redraft-graph/ to the project's own .gitignore -- the graph is a separate repo with its own git history (see the engine's README, "Engine and graph are separate repos"); it must never be swept into the code project's commits.
Tell the user to restart the session. The MCP tools do not appear until Claude Code restarts. Never claim the tools are live before that happens.
Report back compactly: where the graph was birthed, that it's registered at project scope, and that a restart is needed.

What NOT to do

Never use --scope user -- this graph belongs to this project, not to every project the user opens.
Never point REDRAFT_DIR at the code project's own root -- it must be the dedicated graph directory from step 3, never the root that holds the project's source.
Never seed or write any nodes during setup. Setup only births an empty graph and registers it; populating it is a separate, later activity driven by the organizing protocol.

Changes

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.
