initialize-project

initialize-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LamantinAI/mayak. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,469 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository setup procedure for projects created from the Mayak template. Bootstrapping means installing dependencies and replacing template details with the new service's identity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a Mayak-based repository for local development, including dependencies, hooks, environment configuration, and project overview checks.
Why use it?
It prevents leftover template names, missing environment files, and setup checks from causing later development or deployment problems.

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

initialize-project 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 27d 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Initialize Project

One-shot bootstrap of a checkout: install the toolchain, then replace the template's identity with this service's own. The second half is the part that gets skipped, and the cost lands later — an OpenAPI page titled "Mayak API" in production, or uv lock --check failing in a gate that has nothing to do with what you were changing.

When to use it

  • The user asks to initialize or bootstrap the repository.
  • The user wants local development setup.
  • The user wants .env created from .env.sample without overwriting an existing file.

Workflow

  1. make init-project. It runs ./dev_setup.sh (dependencies, git hooks, .env from .env.sample only if absent). It is idempotent — an existing .env is never overwritten.
  2. Decide whether this repository is the template or a project built from it. If it is the template, stop here. Everything below assumes it is a new service.
  3. Replace the identity in all six places below.
  4. make update-deps — this is uv lock, and it is what makes step 3's pyproject.toml rename real. Skipping it leaves uv.lock naming the template package, and uv lock --check — the first line of make quality-gates — fails on a file you did not touch.
  5. make init-project again. With is_template: false it now takes the reference vertical out of the application, once: its files move to .agents/skills/add-vertical/scaffold/ (same relative paths — read them there before writing your first vertical), their lines in the shared wiring files are cut, a migration dropping its table is appended, and the template's own tool tests (tests/template/) and mutation catalogue go. The changes are staged for git diff --cached. It refuses, and changes nothing, while project_name still names the template, while a file of the vertical differs from what the template shipped, or once a vertical of your own exists — then follow "Deleting the reference vertical" in .agents/skills/add-vertical by hand.
  6. Decide whether this project needs a relational store. If it does not — a vector-search-only or stateless service — set POSTGRES_ENABLED=false in .env and say so in the postgres entry of docs/project_context.json. The kernel then starts without a connection pool, runs no migrations, and stops reporting the database as a critical readiness check. Leaving the default true keeps PostgreSQL required, which is right for most services. See docs/adr/ADR-006-optional-postgres.md.
  7. make quality-gates, then continue with .agents/skills/add-vertical for the first feature.

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.

initialize-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository LamantinAI/mayak (5 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,469 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
