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 →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 491
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

plan-initiative 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 561 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/plan-initiative — Initiative → Milestones → Tasks (dependency-aware)

The orchestrator surface above /write-spec and /feature. Quarter-shape planning for the strategic unit above features — usually 1-3 per quarter, multi-feature, multi-week — that decomposes deterministically into the existing ticket primitives the framework already governs.

Slot relative to existing skills:

/idea            (capture a raw idea)
/validate-idea   (5-question pre-spec gate)
/plan-initiative (initiative → milestones → tasks, dependency-aware)  ← this skill
/write-spec      (PRD for one feature)
/feature / /task / /bug / /spike (one ticket at a time)

Design rationale + the load-bearing decisions (Socratic interview over LLM auto-decompose, single template over separate initiative + milestone, two-pass filing for cross-refs, filed-marker idempotence) live in AgDR-0051.

Path resolution

Read the registry path via portfolio_registry, the per-project docs dir via portfolio_projects_dir, and the template via portfolio_resolve_template initiative.md — all from .claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh. Source the helper at the top of any bash block that touches those paths:

source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-read-config.sh"
source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh"
template=$(portfolio_resolve_template initiative.md)   # → custom-templates/initiative.md if present, else templates/initiative.md
projects_dir=$(portfolio_projects_dir)

Defaults match today's single-fork layout (./apexyard.projects.yaml, ./projects). Adopters in split-portfolio mode override the portfolio.{registry, projects_dir, ideas_backlog} keys in .claude/project-config.json. Don't hardcode literal projects/ paths — the helper resolves whichever mode the adopter is in. See docs/multi-project.md.

Write targets (see me2resh/apexyard#373 + #443): paths documented as projects/<name>/X in this skill are canonical adopter-facing forms — implement them in bash as "${projects_dir}/<name>/X". Never construct from "${PWD}/projects/...", "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/projects/...", or a literal ./projects/... — those break in split-portfolio v2 mode where projects_dir resolves to a sibling repo.
