setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from protonium-labs/axiomcore-plugin. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,684 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup manager for drafting and running capability configuration files, plus changing the depth of an existing project or workstation structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create setup drafts through an interview, list pending or installed capabilities, run pending setups, and perform hierarchy migrations.
Why use it?
It gives system changes a reviewable setup step and keeps pending configurations separate from completed ones.

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 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 4d 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task

Execute the requested action: $ARGUMENTS

Calling rule: /setup <action> <arguments>.

If the requested action is ambiguous or contradictory, do NOT guess: flag it and ask for clarification before executing.

First-run onboarding and module activation are owned by /axiom — if the user asks for initial setup, point them to /axiom start.


If action is empty

Describe this skill: its purpose and the actions table from "overview". Do not execute anything.

If action is "overview" (or unknown)

Argument Action
new <capability idea> Guided interview + structure analysis → draft a new setup file in setup/
run <name> Execute a pending setup file and archive it to setup/done/
list Show pending and installed capabilities
overview This table

If the action was unknown, say so first, then show the table.


If action is "new"

Goal: turn a capability idea into a reviewable setup file — nothing is implemented in this action.

  1. Check $ARGUMENTS (after "new"): the capability idea. If empty: ask what capability the user wants. If the idea is a hierarchy-depth change for an existing project or workstation, skip the capability interview and follow "Structural migrations" below instead — the file has a fixed content list.
  2. Interview, one block at a time, only what the idea leaves open:
    • Goal: what should the capability do, for whom, how often (recurring or one-off)?
    • Inputs: what arrives, where does it land (folder, MCP, email)?
    • Outputs: what is produced, where does it go?
    • Integrations: which MCPs/services are needed?
    • Additions: new skills, agents, vault areas?
  3. Analyze the current structure: root CLAUDE.md rules (hierarchy, WP-only work, vault mirroring), existing projects, vault/index.md, installed capabilities in setup/done/. The capability must fit the system rules — e.g. a "drop folder for bills" becomes a WP resources/ folder inside a finance project, not a foreign folder.
  4. Draft setup/su-<NNN>-<name>.md (kebab-case name, no -setup suffix — the folder and the acronym already say it): sections Capability, Prerequisites, Installs (concrete list), Open decisions (what remains to clarify at run time), Definition (detailed behavior). Status: pending. Allocate <NNN> here, at drafting, from Next setup in setup/README.md and bump the counter — monotonic, never reused; a discarded draft does not free its number. Setup files are deliverables: the file carries the standard header block and changelog (.claude/templates/output-document-template.md, acronym SU) and keeps its name when it is later archived to done/ — the number is how it is cited afterwards.
  5. Read the draft back to the user; iterate until approved. Lint the file.

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository protonium-labs/axiomcore-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,684 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.
