A procedure for starting coordinator work in a project for the first time or resuming it later, using project state and coordinator instructions.

Use it at the start of a new coordinator project or when the founder asks to bootstrap or resume one.

It restores context and creates the required project files instead of making the agent guess what has already happened.

bootstrap — Skill for Claude Code by nikolamin/claude-coordinator-kit

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add nikolamin/claude-coordinator-kit --skill bootstrap

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nikolamin/claude-coordinator-kit

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install coordinator-kit, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 15 skills, 1 hook.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00042	$0.01269
Opus 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00508
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00254
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00127

Security

Grade A, and why

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 28d 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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bootstrap, migration and resume

Read the runtime adapter for the active host. Use AGENTS.md for Codex and CLAUDE.md for Claude Code; both hosts share the same workspace database.

The canonical state is <workspace>/.coordinator/coord.db. Load coordinator-kit:coordination-state and run the bundled scripts/coord.py --root <workspace> ensure --init before coordination. The SessionStart hook does this automatically when supported, enabled and trusted; repeat ensure safely when entering bootstrap or when hook execution is unavailable. This is the first-run migration supplied by the plugin, not a task to defer or an optional Markdown backend.

First updated-plugin run

Resolve the existing workspace (including multi-repo parents). Preserve AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/CHARTER.md/ PROCESS.md and project constraints. Treat their instructions to write old state companions as superseded by this database migration; other authority and behavioral rules remain in force.
Run ensure. It imports exact source bytes and recognizable records, archives originals, verifies the import and retires Markdown sources to pointers. It never overwrites uncertain state with a fresh skeleton. On failure, fix the stated cause and rerun; do not dispatch from a partially migrated or alternate Markdown backlog.
Run summary and review list. Read each pending section, reconcile original requirements, hold/lift sources, questions, infrastructure/profile, plan dependencies and stop notes into canonical records, then resolve it with record references or a justified historical label. Reconcile imported needs_review records too. Existing SQLite sources also require repointing legacy coordinator/bridge integrations; their original DB files are preserved untouched.
Continue only after summary.ready_for_dispatch is true, then apply the actual task/hold authorization. Migration readiness is not production permission. Record plugin version 0.9.0 and the adopted spine version separately in the workspace profile.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
