mastermind-bootstrap

mastermind-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from monoes/monomind. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,494 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A one-time setup step for an agent organisation after it is created. It prepares the organisation's lead agent with its context, goals, and an invitation token.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialise, inspect, reset, or retrieve the setup token for an organisation before running it.
Why use it?
It ensures the lead agent has the information needed before the organisation's first run. It also lets you check or reset the setup state.

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

mastermind-bootstrap 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 2d 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mastermind Bootstrap

This skill is invoked directly via /mastermind-bootstrap.


Inputs

  • brain_context: BRAIN CONTEXT block (injected by command, or loaded below if standalone)
  • org_name: org to bootstrap (required)
  • action: init | token | status | reset
  • boss_role_id: role ID of the CEO/boss agent (default: auto-detect by reports_to: null)
  • caller: command | master

Step 0 — Brain Load (standalone only)

If caller is not "command", load brain context following mastermind-protocol/SKILL.md Brain Load Procedure with namespace: ops.


Step 1 — Resolve Org

orgFile=".monomind/orgs/${org_name}.json"
[ ! -f "$orgFile" ] && { echo "ERROR: Org '${org_name}' not found. Run /mastermind:createorg first."; exit 1; }

bootstrapFile=".monomind/orgs/${org_name}-bootstrap.json"

Step 2 — Execute Action

status (check bootstrap state)

if [ -f "$bootstrapFile" ]; then
  echo "BOOTSTRAP STATUS — ${org_name}"
  echo "──────────────────────────────────"
  jq -r '
    "  State:       \(.state // "unknown")",
    "  Boss Role:   \(.boss_role_id // "-")",
    "  Bootstrapped:\(.bootstrapped_at // "never")",
    "  Token:       \(if .invite_token then (.invite_token | .[0:8]) + "..." else "none" end)",
    "  Token used:  \(.token_used // false)"
  ' "$bootstrapFile"
else
  echo "Not bootstrapped. Run /mastermind-bootstrap --org ${org_name} --action init"
fi

token (generate a fresh invite token)

Generate a signed one-time token the boss agent uses to authenticate its first session:

token=$(openssl rand -hex 24 2>/dev/null || python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(24))")
ts=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)

echo "INVITE TOKEN — ${org_name}"
echo "──────────────────────────────────"
echo "  Token: $token"
echo "  Valid until first use."
echo ""

# Store token in bootstrap file
[ ! -f "$bootstrapFile" ] && echo '{}' > "$bootstrapFile"
tmp="${bootstrapFile}.tmp"
jq --arg token "$token" --arg ts "$ts" \
  '.invite_token = $token | .token_generated_at = $ts | .token_used = false' \
  "$bootstrapFile" > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" "$bootstrapFile"
echo "Token stored. Include in boss agent prompt as: INVITE_TOKEN=${token}"

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.
