metagit-projects

metagit-projects is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from metagit-ai/metagit-cli. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,600 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workspace and project organizer for OpenClaw and Hermes agents. A workspace is a root folder, a project groups related repositories or folders, and a repository is one version-controlled code folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps start work, organize repositories, reuse existing projects, and distinguish workspaces, projects, and repositories.
Why use it?
It prevents duplicate project folders and keeps existing workspace repositories as the source of truth.

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

metagit-projects 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 8d 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.

Ongoing Project Management

Use this skill when the user starts new work, reorganizes repositories, or asks you to create a project folder. Metagit is the source of truth for what already exists in the workspace.

Concepts

Metagit uses a three-level hierarchy (see project terminology docs):

Level Meaning
Workspace Root folder where projects are synced (from app config workspace.path, often ./.metagit/). Holds many projects.
Project Named group of one or more managed repositories or local folders. Multi-repo products are one project; unrelated repos can also share a workspace under different project names.
Repo A single repository entry under workspace.projects[].repos in .metagit.yml, using exactly one locator: url (git remote) or path (local folder).

A project is not always “one product.” It is whatever grouping helps the user and agents reason about related (or intentionally grouped) repositories. A workspace may contain unrelated projects side by side (for example default, client-a, experiments).

The umbrella .metagit.yml (workspace definition, often kind: umbrella) lives in a coordinating repository or central config checkout. Application repos may have their own .metagit.yml for metadata mode.

Mandatory: check before creating folders

Never create a new project directory or clone into the workspace until you have checked metagit for an existing match.

  1. Locate the workspace definition

    • Prefer the user’s umbrella .metagit.yml if known.
    • Otherwise use .metagit.yml in the current repo with --definition /path/to/.metagit.yml.
  2. List configured projects and repo counts

    metagit config info --config-path /path/to/.metagit.yml
    metagit project list --config /path/to/.metagit.yml --project default
    

    Repeat --project for each project name returned by config info.

  3. Search managed repos by name, URL fragment, or tag

    metagit search "<proposed-name-or-url>" --definition /path/to/.metagit.yml
    metagit search "<name>" --definition /path/to/.metagit.yml --json

metagit-projects is a skill published in the GitHub repository metagit-ai/metagit-cli (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,600 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
