Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is | PostgreSQL | … | [ADR-003](./docs/adr/003-postgres.md) |.

Good fit Use it to create first-week checklists, automate dependency and database setup, update getting-started guides, and document domain concepts and team practices.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

developer-onboarding-builder 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 7d 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.

Developer Onboarding Builder

Critères de décision avant de commencer

Contexte Action recommandée
Première embauche de l'équipe Créer le process from scratch (étapes 1→8)
Onboarding existant mais douloureux Audit d'abord : identifier les étapes manuelles, les accès qui manquent, la doc périmée
Stack change (migration, nouveau service) Mettre à jour GETTING_STARTED.md + script setup ; réutiliser le reste
Profil senior / nouveau sur le domaine métier Réduire le setup time, allonger le parcours métier (ADR, post-mortems, glossaire)

Workflow en étapes

Étape 1 — Script de setup idempotent

Un onboarding sans script se dégrade en 3 semaines. Le script est la source de vérité.

# Makefile minimal — couvre les cas les plus fréquents
.PHONY: setup check-deps

setup: check-deps
	cp .env.example .env
	npm ci
	docker compose up -d db redis
	npm run db:migrate
	npm run db:seed
	@echo "✅ Env prêt. Lance : npm run dev"

check-deps:
	@command -v node >/dev/null || (echo "Node manquant"; exit 1)
	@command -v docker >/dev/null || (echo "Docker manquant"; exit 1)

Checklist script :

  • Idempotent (relancer ne casse rien)
  • Testé sur machine vierge (CI ou VM) au moins une fois par trimestre
  • Couvre : runtime, dépendances, variables d'env, DB locale, certificats internes
  • Temps total < 2h sur une machine standard

Accès à provisionner AVANT J1 :

□ Git (repo + droits push sur branches de travail)
□ Slack/Teams (invité dans les channels clés, pas tous)
□ Gestionnaire de tickets (Jira, Linear, Azure DevOps)
□ VPN + credentials
□ Cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) — environnement dev uniquement, read-only prod
□ Registres privés (npm, Docker Hub, Maven, NuGet)
□ Gestionnaire de secrets (Vault, AWS SSM) — policies en lecture dev
□ Accès monitoring (Grafana, Datadog) — lecture seule

Étape 2 — GETTING_STARTED.md

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.
