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.

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

alignfirst-setup-guide 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 13 executable files (assets/alignfirst-developer-template/base/infra/openclaw/bin/apply-workspace.sh, assets/alignfirst-developer-template/base/infra/openclaw/bin/backup.sh, assets/alignfirst-developer-template/base/infra/openclaw/bin/developer-kill.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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AlignFirst Setup Guide

Route by the user's intent. Load only the references needed for that route.

Terminology

AlignFirst is both the core alignfirst skill and the umbrella name for the related software development tooling in this repository. In skill contexts, AlignFirst means the core skill, used alone or with its command-alias companions. The core skill and any installed companions are the AlignFirst skills. Use AlignFirst tooling for the broader product family when the distinction matters.

The alignfirst skill contains the protocols. Its seven human-invoked command companions are alspec, alplan, al, almerge, alreview, aldescription, and alread. The command skills keep disable-model-invocation: true, humans invoke them as /alspec in Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or $alspec in Codex.

alignfirst-setup-guide and alignfirst-developer-openclaw-playbook are separate skills. plans-share is an optional companion to AlignFirst skills, not a fourth independent recommendation.

Named Tool

When the user names a tool, inspect the repository and proceed directly to that tool. Install or upgrade only what they requested.

Do not present the tooling menu or add unrelated tools on this route.

Tooling Recommendation

When the user asks what the project could adopt, inspect the repository and present these independent choices:

  • AlignFirst skills add collaborative specification, planning, implementation, merge, review, description, and task-reading commands. When the team has a plans repository, plans-share can back the project's .plans directory.
  • docmap makes the repository's docs/ tree discoverable to agents and humans.
  • workspace creates isolated git-worktree development environments.

Files

What ships with it

60 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.
