project-organization

project-organization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lancegui/causal-powers. It costs 202 tokens per session (2,713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for organizing a research repository around its final paper and reproducible analysis pipeline. It separates original data, working data, outputs, code, documentation, and scratch files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting up or cleaning a research project, naming files, placing deliverables, documenting data provenance, and preparing a repository before committing or pushing.
Why use it?
It makes it easier for collaborators or future users to tell what is finished, where each file came from, and how results can be reproduced.

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-organization 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.

Project Organization

Overview

A research repository has one destination — the paper — and one test: six months in, a collaborator (or future you) opens it and must answer fast — what is a finished result, what is scratch, and how was each number produced? Organization makes the work reproducible and legible to someone who wasn't in the conversation — analysis-craft's clean-diff discipline, scaled to the directory.

Core principle: organize around the paper and its pipeline; place and name every artifact so its role (deliverable / intermediate / raw) and its producer are obvious; and before you commit, tidy so the repo shows deliverables and code, not scratch.

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.

project-organization is a skill published in the GitHub repository lancegui/causal-powers (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 202 tokens to every session and 2,713 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
