Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00115 | $0.02665 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00046 | $0.01066 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00533 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00266 |
Grade A, and why
kickoff 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 2mo 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 — 254 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Kickoff
Project context kickoff. Conversational interview that builds structured docs for AI agents.
Agent Capabilities
| Capability | Used For | Required | Fallback |
|---|---|---|---|
| File read/write | .context/ docs, CLAUDE.md |
Yes | -- |
| Code search (grep/glob) | Bootstrap scan, drift detection | Recommended | User describes project manually |
| User interaction | Conversational interview, confirmations | Yes | -- |
| Task/subagent | analyze action (parallel reviewers) |
Recommended | Single-agent analysis |
| Shell/command execution | Git log, package.json read | Recommended | User provides info manually |
Fallback rule: If codebase access is limited, the skill works from conversation alone. Warn the user and proceed.
Actions
| Action | Input | Output | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
init |
(none) or project path | .context/ folder with axis docs |
init.md |
update {axis} |
Axis name (product, engineering, etc.) | Updated axis docs | update.md |
todo |
(none) — reads .context/TODO.md |
Updated context docs + trimmed TODO | todo.md |
analyze |
(none) — reads existing .context/ |
Analysis report with findings | analyze.md |
review |
(none) — reads .context/ + codebase |
Drift report | review.md |
generate |
(none) — reads .context/ |
CLAUDE.md (or agent-specific config) | generate.md |
Flow
First time (kickoff):
init → todo (answer open questions) → generate
With existing codebase:
init (bootstraps from artifacts) → todo → generate
Maintenance:
update {axis} → generate
Enrich context:
todo → generate
Health check:
review → update (if drift detected) → generate
Strategic challenge:
analyze → update (if insights) → generate
Quick regeneration:
generate (reads existing .context/)

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.

kickoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository Maximepodgorski/agent-skills (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 2,665 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
