Init

Init is a skill for Claude Code from Nagiliant/Genesis-Legacy-V2. It costs 42 tokens per session (936 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project setup command for Genesis Spec-Kit, a file-based system for planning and building software. It creates a .genesis directory and identifies whether the project is new, existing, or a content project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing Genesis Spec-Kit for the first time, choosing greenfield, brownfield, or lowfield mode, and creating its initial folders.
Why use it?
It gives the project the files and starting mode that the rest of the Genesis workflow expects.

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

Init 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 12d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Init — Scaffold Genesis Spec-Kit

Set up the kit's file-backed scaffolding in a project and establish its mode. Everything the kit does afterward reads from the files this step creates.

Process

  1. Check for an existing install. If .genesis/ already exists, ask whether to reinitialize (overwrite kit system files, preserve all user artifacts) or stop. On reinitialize, preserve: constitution/, project-state.md, discovery/, design/, features/.

  2. Determine the mode. If --mode is given, use it. Otherwise scan the directory and recommend:

    • Empty (only .git) → Greenfield — a new project from scratch.
    • Files present → Brownfield — an existing codebase needing structure.
    • Lowfield — a content or creative project (novel, research corpus, knowledge base). Lowfield is always an explicit choice, never auto-detected.

    Present all three and let the user confirm.

  3. Resolve the project name from package.json / Cargo.toml / pyproject.toml / etc., or ask.

  4. Create the directory structure:

    .genesis/
    ├── constitution/          # supreme law (populated by /genesis-constitute)
    ├── discovery/             # project profile (populated by /genesis-discover)
    ├── design/                # project-level design docs
    │   ├── technical/
    │   ├── user-journeys/
    │   ├── systems/
    │   └── decisions/         # ADRs
    ├── features/              # per-feature artifacts
    ├── templates/             # copied from the kit
    ├── hooks/                 # optional git hooks
    ├── furnace.json           # deferred-idea backlog (starts empty)
    └── project-state.md       # the live state file
    
  5. Copy the kit templates into .genesis/templates/ (constitution, spec, micro-spec, feature-design, north-star, discovery-{greenfield,brownfield,lowfield}, design-inputs).

  6. Seed furnace.json: { "entries": [] }.

  7. Write project-state.md from the template: project name, mode, init date, current phase Initialized, and empty sections for Active Features, Completed Features, Key Decisions, Constitutional Amendments, Open Questions, Blockers.

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.
