instantiate-project

A guided setup for creating a new Python project from the Temple8 template, checking its files and development tools, and starting its first Flowr session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and verify a fresh project, install its development environment, validate Flowr workflow files, run initial checks, and start a session.
Why use it?
It prevents an existing folder from being overwritten and catches missing files, invalid workflow definitions, code-style errors, or test setup problems before work begins.

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

instantiate-project 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.

What it actually says

Instantiate Project

  1. Confirm the destination directory does not exist or is empty; IF copier copy would clobber existing work THEN stop and ask the user where to create the project.
  2. Run copier copy gh:nullhack/temple8 <destination> (or the local template path if offline). Answer the questionnaire: project_name, package_name (defaults from project_name), description, repo_url, version, author_name, author_email, keep_design, keep_research, reset_git.
  3. cd into the new project and verify the skeleton: <package>/__init__.py exists; tests/{integration,e2e,cassettes,fixtures}/ and tests/conftest.py exist; pyproject.toml and README.md are rendered (no {{ }} placeholders remain); .opencode/, .flowr/, .templates/, AGENTS.md, .github/ are present and unchanged.
  4. Run uv sync --extra dev to materialise the venv.
  5. Verify the gates load: bash -c 'for f in .flowr/flows/*.yaml; do uv run python -m flowr validate "$f"; done' — all six must report {valid: true}; uv run ruff check . must pass; uv run pytest --collect-only -q must collect zero tests cleanly.
  6. Initialise the first session: uv run python -m flowr session init pipeline-flow --name default; confirm it lands at discovery-flow/interview-general.
  7. Report the instance ready: destination path, the rendered identity, and the first flowr command (uv run python -m flowr check --session default) to begin driving.
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.

instantiate-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository nullhack/temple8 (11 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 416 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
