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

mk: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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/detect-stack.sh, scripts/validate-bootstrap.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bootstrap

End-to-end project orchestrator: research → design → plan → scaffold → implement → docs.

CLI boundary: the installer = project infrastructure. mk:bootstrap = application code + full pipeline. Zero overlap. Never touch .claude/.

When to Use

Explicit only — never auto-activate.

mk:bootstrap [requirements]
mk:bootstrap [requirements] --full
mk:bootstrap [requirements] --fast
mk:bootstrap [requirements] --parallel

Do NOT invoke when: project already has source code, or you only need kit setup (use CLI).

Modes

Mode Flag Gates Research Design Plan flag Cook flag
Auto (default) Design only Parallel researchers UI/UX if frontend --auto --auto
Full --full Every step Parallel researchers UI/UX if frontend --hard (interactive)
Fast --fast None 6 parallel batch Skip --fast --auto
Parallel --parallel Design only Parallel researchers UI/UX if frontend --parallel --parallel

Routing

Parse first flag from arguments:

  • --full → load references/workflow-full.md
  • --fast → load references/workflow-fast.md
  • --parallel → load references/workflow-parallel.md
  • default → load references/workflow-auto.md

Each workflow file defines the exact steps for that mode. After plan + scaffold, all modes load references/shared-phases.md for implementation → docs → final report.

Planning BEFORE Scaffolding

Plan first, scaffold second. The plan tells us WHAT to scaffold.

  1. Plan — invoke mk:plan-creator with mode-matched flag. Plan defines: architecture, modules, file structure, acceptance criteria.
  2. Scaffold — generate files following the plan's architecture + references/scaffolding-principles.md. Detect stack via scripts/detect-stack.sh. Validate with scripts/validate-bootstrap.sh.

Optional: invoke mk:plan-ceo-review on the plan (Full mode).

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.
