setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kenmulford/milestone-driver. It costs 146 tokens per session (6,697 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup process for creating or repairing a project profile used by milestone-driver, a workflow tool for handling issues and milestones. It stores settings such as the main development branch, protected branch, and source-code paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding a repository, fixing a missing or incomplete profile, or migrating an older profile to the standard location.
Why use it?
It gives the workflow the project information it needs before it can solve issues or milestones correctly.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 275 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

setup - first-run profile bootstrap

Generate or repair the driver profile through a guided, inference-first flow. The canonical location is <repo>/.milestone-config/driver.json; new profiles are always written there, and an existing legacy root <repo>/milestone-driver.json is migrated there by the preamble that runs before Phase 1.

Contents

When this runs

  • Auto-invoked by solve-issue/solve-milestone when the driver profile is absent or missing a required Core key.
  • Direct invocation (/milestone-driver:setup) when onboarding a new repo or repairing an existing profile.

Migration preamble (run first, before Phase 1), so Phase 1 pre-fills from the already-migrated canonical file. Resolve the profile: <repo>/.milestone-config/driver.json exists → use it. Else a legacy root <repo>/milestone-driver.json exists → migrate it first (mkdir -p .milestone-config; git mv <repo>/milestone-driver.json <repo>/.milestone-config/driver.json when git-tracked, else plain mv), then continue. Else it is a new project (Phase 3 creates the canonical file). Idempotent: once .milestone-config/driver.json exists this is a no-op. Both present → .milestone-config/driver.json wins; no move, no overwrite, no deletion of the leftover root file. The transitional READ covers the gap before the move lands.

Procedure

Phase 1 - Silent project-evaluation pass

Before asking anything, gather signals from the repo. Run these checks silently (no output yet):

Signal Command / check
Repo default branch git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD → strip refs/remotes/origin/; fall back to gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'
Integration-branch candidates git branch -a - look for develop, dev, development, integration
Repo layout List top-level dirs + key files: package.json, *.sln, *.csproj, Makefile, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml
Unit test command package.json.scripts.test; presence of test .csproj; Makefile targets test; pyproject.toml [tool.pytest]; Cargo.toml
E2E test indicators Appium config, Playwright config (playwright.config.*), Selenium project, run-e2etests.* script
Visual-capture indicators A dev/test sign-in seam (e.g. a /dev/sign_in route, a sign_in_as/test-login helper), a server boot command (bin/rails server, npm run dev, a Procfile web: entry), and/or appearance signals (dark: Tailwind variants, a theme toggle, prefers-color-scheme)
Preflight (fast pre-PR checks) command .pre-commit-config.yaml present → pre-commit run --all-files; package.json .scripts.lintnpm run lint; Makefile lint/check target → make lint / make check
Stack signals Language/framework files for domainSkills mapping (see table below)
Versioning target Presence of .claude-plugin/plugin.json - present → default to versioned; absent → suggest versioning: false
Existing profile Read .milestone-config/driver.json if present, else the legacy root milestone-driver.json - pre-fill any already-set keys; a pre-filled domainSkills runs through The expansion below before it is offered

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository kenmulford/milestone-driver (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 146 tokens to every session and 6,697 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
