grace-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from osovv/grace-marketplace. It costs 29 tokens per session (753 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup command for the GRACE 4 project method, which stores project requirements, technology choices, rules, deployment details, system relationships, checks, and planned changes in structured files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the initial AGENTS.md file and .grace folders and XML files for project context, architecture, verification, and change tracking.
Why use it?
It creates the expected project context so later work can follow the same documented structure instead of starting with missing or inconsistent guidance.

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

grace-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 10d 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.

<hard_rules>

  • GRACE 4 state lives under .grace; do not create legacy docs/*.xml as the bootstrap surface.
  • GraceChangeSpec and GraceChangePlan are created by later change workflows, not by init.
  • If legacy GRACE 3 docs are present, explain that migration is handled only by grace-migrate; init must not convert or delete them.
  • Validate the resulting project with grace lint --path <project-root> when the CLI is available. </hard_rules>

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.
