setup-js-project

A setup workflow that creates a new SvelteKit web project with TypeScript, code-quality tools, tests, formatting, and GitHub Actions continuous integration. SvelteKit is a framework for building web applications, while continuous integration automatically checks changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a SvelteKit app, configure Biome, Prettier, and Vitest, add project documentation, and create automated GitHub checks and optional Git hooks.
Why use it?
It avoids manually assembling the starting files and development checks for a new JavaScript project. It also asks for confirmation before creating the project.

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

setup-js-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 625 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Setup JavaScript/SvelteKit Project

Scaffold a new SvelteKit project with opinionated defaults: TypeScript strict mode, Biome for JS/TS linting and formatting, Prettier for Svelte files, Vitest for testing, and GitHub Actions for CI.

Phase 1 — Determine project name

  • If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty, use it as the project name
  • Otherwise, infer from basename $PWD

Present a brief summary to the user, then ask for confirmation. If .git/ exists, include the hook files in the list; otherwise omit them and note that hooks will be skipped until git is initialized.

For new projects:

Project name:    <name>
Framework:       SvelteKit + Svelte 5 + TypeScript
Files to create: package.json, svelte.config.js, vite.config.ts, tsconfig.json,
                 biome.json, .prettierrc, .npmrc, .gitignore, README.md,
                 src/app.html, src/app.d.ts, src/routes/+page.svelte,
                 src/lib/.gitkeep, src/test-setup.ts,
                 .github/workflows/test.yml
Git hooks:       .git/hooks/pre-commit, .git/hooks/pre-commit.d/javascript.sh,
                 .git/hooks/pre-push,   .git/hooks/pre-push.d/javascript.sh
                 (or: "skipped — git not initialized")

Proceed? [y/N]

For existing projects (re-run), show what will be added/updated:

Project name:    <name> (existing project)

Updates:
  biome.json:    add noExcessiveCognitiveComplexity rule
  package.json:  already up to date
  tsconfig.json: already up to date

Proceed? [y/N]

Phase 2 — Preflight checks

Before writing anything:

  1. Check which target files already exist. Read each existing file so you understand what's already configured.
  2. Check if git is initialized (git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null). If not, note it in the final report — don't run git init yourself.

Incremental updates. This skill can be re-run on existing projects to bring them up to date. For each file below:

  • Missing: create it exactly as specified.
  • Exists: read it, compare against the spec, and add only what's missing. Do not overwrite user customizations (custom deps, modified biome rules, adjusted thresholds). For config files like biome.json and package.json, add missing sections, rules, and dependencies without touching existing ones. For shell scripts like pre-commit hooks, add missing check blocks without rewriting existing ones.

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.

setup-js-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository phobologic/claude_code_helpers (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 4,767 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
