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

project-onboarding 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 11d 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.

Skill: project-onboarding

Complete project onboarding for Claude Cowork in a single session.


Triggers

Russian: «создай проект», «onboarding проекта», «новый проект», «настрой проект», «создай контекст проекта», «быстрый контекст», «обнови карту файлов», «пересканируй файлы» English: "create project", "project onboarding", "new project", "set up project", "create project context", "quick context", "update file map", "rescan files"


Language Detection

Determine the language of the user's request:

  • If the request is in Russian → use templates with -ru suffix
  • Otherwise → use templates with -en suffix

All output (headings, labels, comments, instructions) must match the detected language.


Modes

Mode Triggers Actions
new "create project", "onboarding", "new project", "set up project" Full interview → context.md + folder-instructions.md + file map + prompts
quick "quick context", "create project context" Blocks 1–3 + auto-scan → context.md
scan "update file map", "rescan files" File Map module only → update section in context.md

Instructions

Step 1 — Determine Mode

If trigger matches scan → go directly to the File Map module. If quick → interview blocks 1–3, then File Map. Otherwise → new, all steps in sequence.

Step 2 — Interview (modes: new / quick)

Ask questions in blocks. Wait for a response after each block. Keep questions concise.

Block 1 — Basics
1. Project name?
2. Type: analytics / content / business / personal / other?
3. Status: Active / On hold / Completed?
4. Start date? Deadline?
Block 2 — Project Overview
5. Describe the project in 2–4 sentences.
6. Vision — what outcome = success?
Block 3 — Current Phase
7. What are we working on right now?
8. What is the concrete deliverable for this phase?

→ Mode quick stops here. Proceed to the File Map module.

Block 4 — Structure
9. Key elements / components / layers of the project?

What ships with it

8 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.

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.
