new

new is a skill for Claude Code from raisedadead/claude-code-plugins. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,932 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A workflow for opening a new project dossier: a dated folder containing a standard DOSSIER.md document. It checks the short name and asks for the project's goal, scope, and code repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a dossier with a chosen short name, record project context, and prepare the folder for later phase tracking.
Why use it?
It gives each work phase a consistent starting document and catches invalid or conflicting folder names before work begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the dossier plugin — 8 skills, 2 agents shipped together

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

new 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 — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ds:new — start a wave

Creates .scratchpad/dossier/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>/DOSSIER.md per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/FORMAT.md, then asks the operator for goal, scope and repos.

Inputs

  • "<goal sentence>" from $ARGUMENTS — the normal start. Run ds:grill "<goal sentence>" first, then come back with the slug it confirms; step 1.5 consumes its draft. Skip the grill only when the goal is one line with no open decision, and derive the slug from it.
  • <slug> (kebab-case, ≤30 chars) — the start after a grill, or for a backfill. Empty → ask for the goal sentence.
  • Date defaults to today (date +%Y-%m-%d). Override by prompt when backfilling historical work.

Steps

0. Helpers

The §S DONE line (step 6) appends via "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/cli/ds s-append <dir> "<event>" (FORMAT.md §15) — pass the text after the timestamp, which the script prepends. The initial scaffold is a full Write (new file).

1. Validate slug + path

  • Slug matches ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,29}$. Anything else is refused with an explanation.
  • Compute dir=.scratchpad/dossier/<date>-<slug>/.
  • Collision check: dir exists or .scratchpad/dossier/_archive/<date>-<slug>/ exists (a same-day close+reopen) → ask the operator to bump to <slug>-2, <slug>-3, etc. Checking _archive/ too avoids two INDEX rows keyed to one slug (Vm.1).
  • Ignore check: in a git work tree, git check-ignore -q .scratchpad/ exiting 1 means the ledger will show as untracked and a git add -A would commit it. Carry that into the step-7 report with the per-clone fix, echo .scratchpad/ >> .git/info/exclude, and leave the choice to the operator — some repos track .scratchpad/ on purpose.

1.5. Grill gate (conditional)

Fires only when a grill artifact exists for this slug, so trivial ds:new runs are untouched. <slug> is the RESOLVED slug from step 1 (post-collision-bump; a bumped <slug>-2 starts without <slug>'s grill):

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/cli/ds assert-grill .scratchpad "<slug>"

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.

new is a skill published in the GitHub repository raisedadead/claude-code-plugins (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed ISC. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,932 tokens. 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.
