project-initializer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opencue/cuecards. It costs 34 tokens per session (620 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of project-initializer, MIT.

A project setup tool that turns a specification or issue into a tracked feature list and starter project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Breaking requirements into independently mergeable features, creating project setup scripts, and defining verification rules.
Why use it?
It gives a new project an initial structure, ordered deliverables, and checks for verifying the work.

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

project-initializer 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 3d 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Initializer

Use exactly once per project, when session_mode == feature_loop and .agx/project/ does not yet exist (system prompt will say "Initializer 阶段").

Inputs

  • A spec markdown, GitHub issue, or natural-language feature description.
  • The repo root (workspace_dir or first non-default taskspace).

Steps

  1. Read the spec end-to-end. Use file_read if the user pointed at a file, otherwise capture the user's message as the source of truth.
  2. Decompose into ≥ 5 deliverables. Each feature must:
    • have a stable id (kebab-case, ≤ 32 chars),
    • be independently mergeable (its commit can land on main without breaking others),
    • declare 1–3 concrete acceptance_criteria (observable behavior, not implementation steps),
    • declare depends_on only for hard ordering constraints,
    • get an integer priority (lower = sooner; reserve 100 for "later").
  3. Call project_init with the full feature list. The tool writes feature_list.json, seeds status.json with phase=initialize, and drops template init.sh + verify.yaml.
  4. Customize init.sh via bash_exec (or file_write with the diff path = .agx/project/init.sh):
    • install language runtime / package manager dependencies,
    • apply migrations / generate seed data,
    • must be idempotent (running twice on the same machine should not break anything).
  5. Customize verify.yaml with the project's real test/lint commands. Keep the bootstrap step that runs init.sh.
  6. Smoke-run with verify_run (no feature_id) to confirm the initial gate is green on a clean checkout.
  7. Commit the harness files via bash_exec:
    git add .agx/project init.sh verify.yaml
    git commit -m "chore(project): initialize harness with N features"
    
    Keep this commit small — only harness files, no business code.
  8. Append a closing progress note with progress_append (e.g. "[initialize-done] commit=<sha> features=N") and tell the user the project is ready for a Coding session.

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.
