keel-adopt

keel-adopt is a skill for Claude Code from muratsilahtaroglu/claude-code-starter-kit. It costs 42 tokens per session (704 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A skill for bringing Keel's project discipline into an existing codebase. It inventories files, adds missing structure, documents the real code, and plans security changes without overwriting existing work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify existing and missing files, merge only safe additions, back-fill architecture and handover documentation, and identify conflicts for approval before changes are made.
Why use it?
It helps adopt a project template safely when the repository already contains code, documentation, and configuration that must be preserved.

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 B, and why

keel-adopt scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

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

Safe bulk-add of only-missing files (never `cp -r` over the top; never `rm -rf .git`):

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/keel-adopt — bring an existing project under Keel discipline (brownfield)

Use when the project already has code + history (rules.md §0, Mode B). Goal: overlay the template's discipline without clobbering anything. Non-destructive is the hard rule — propose the full plan, get approval, then act. Nothing is overwritten without a shown diff + an explicit yes.

1. Inventory & classify

Bucket every template path against the repo and report the three lists before touching anything:

  • missing → safe to add as-is.
  • present (project already has its own: README.md, .gitignore, pyproject.toml, Makefile, CLAUDE.md, Dockerfile, ...) → merge, never replace.
  • conflicting (same path, different intent) → show a diff, ask.

Safe bulk-add of only-missing files (never cp -r over the top; never rm -rf .git):

rsync -av --ignore-existing <keel>/ ./ --exclude .git

2. Back-fill the living docs from real code

  • docs/architecture.md ← reverse-engineer the current module map (what each real dir/file does; status ✅).
  • HANDOVER.md ← write the FIRST session block: (a) what already exists / works today (not blank placeholders); seed LESSONS.md with known gotchas and TASKS.md ## Now with the actual next work.
  • Capture the adoption itself as an ADR in docs/adr/ (what was added / merged / deferred and why).

3. Reconcile discipline

  • Merge, don't replace an existing CLAUDE.md and .claude/settings.json (union the permissions; keep the project's).
  • Map the existing source layout to the nearest docs/layouts.md profile — don't create parallel folders beside it.
  • Prune template parts the project won't use, cascading reference cleanup (rules.md §0a).
  • Multi-user team? Ask who the project OWNER (founder) is — default the adopter, never assumed — and write their git config user.name into .claude/project-owner: governance files become owner-only via the owner-guard hook (docs/steering.md "Multi-user"). Single-user: skip, no file.

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.

keel-adopt is a skill published in the GitHub repository muratsilahtaroglu/claude-code-starter-kit (9 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 704 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
