mtk-agent-toolkit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/setup-bootstrap/SKILL.md

setup-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code from moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit. It costs 36 tokens per session (6,779 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A one-time workflow that prepares a repository for AI-assisted coding by detecting its technology stack, auditing the code, gathering guidelines, and creating project instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up a repository for the first time or auditing an existing setup.
Why use it?
It turns an unfamiliar repository into a documented starting point for future coding work.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mtk-agent-toolkit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mtk-agent-toolkit configures →

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 C, and why

setup-bootstrap scanned grade C with 2 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Run `mkdir`, `rm -rf` and `echo >` as separate Bash calls: conservative permission modes reject a chain containing `rm -rf`, which aborts the whole chain.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 310 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MTK Setup Bootstrap — Prepare Repository for AI-Assisted Development

MTK File Resolution

Resolve MTK skill/reference/script paths per .claude/references/mtk-file-resolution.md unless the router already stated MTK_ROOT=<path> this session; AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/tech-stack, .claude/rules/, tasks/, docs/, .mtk/ stay project-relative.

Companion files: several steps defer detail to .claude/references/*.md. If a companion cannot be resolved at read time, stop that step and report the missing path — do not reconstruct its content from memory.


You detect the tech stack, audit the codebase, and generate a tailored AGENTS.md — the canonical constitution every harness reads — plus the CLAUDE.md shim that imports it. The implementation and review agents use them as their source of truth.

Modes

  • --preview — run detection, scan and interview, then show the proposed AGENTS.md + shim + rules diff and confirm via AskUserQuestion before writing anything.
  • --non-interactive — skip the STEP 2.5 interview.
  • --no-verify-commands — skip STEP 3.5a's command verification: nothing is executed, and the Tech Stack section gets no <!-- verified: ... --> stamp and no [UNVERIFIED] annotations. The STEP 5 report says Command verification: skipped via --no-verify-commands.

The flags combine.

Generation Constraints

Compliance with constitution rules degrades as the instruction count grows, and generated constitutions that list everything perform worst. So:

  1. Root AGENTS.md: target 60–80 lines, hard cap 120. Detail goes to .claude/rules/ or a hook. The CLAUDE.md shim is ~20 lines with no rule text.
  2. Trigger-action rules with the reason attached (When X, do Y — because Z). Write prohibitions only for constraints the codebase actually enforces (the counter-example gate in STEP 3 decides). No IMPORTANT: / YOU MUST markers: they cause over-triggering.
  3. Mechanize what you can. A rule a hook or the settings.json deny list enforces is not repeated in AGENTS.md.
  4. No aspirational rules, no list-of-everything. Every rule comes from an observed pattern or failure in this codebase; omit what the model can read from the code.

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.

setup-bootstrap is a skill published in the GitHub repository moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit (9 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 6,779 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
