init

init is a skill for Claude Code from rjroy/vibe-garden. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,213 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for a field guide, meaning a project wiki or reference-documentation area. It creates the initial reference folder and index when needed, and can register a recurring documentation lint check when the required scheduler is available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up the field guide for the first time or refreshing its scheduled lint job after it expires.
Why use it?
It gives a new project a starting place for reference pages and helps keep documentation checks running over time.

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

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 17d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Init

Bootstrap the project wiki, ensure disposable local lore output is ignored when the lore-development setup helper is available, and register a scheduled lint job.

Dependencies

CronCreate and CronList are only required for scheduling. Project/wiki setup does not depend on Cron availability. The local-lore ignore setup is provided by lore-development's scripts/ensure_local.py; when plugins are installed as siblings, resolve ../../../lore-development/scripts/ensure_local.py relative to this skill's installed location, then run it with python3 <resolved-helper-path> <explicit-project-root>. Do not guess the project root or a global helper path. If lore-development is installed separately and the sibling helper is unavailable, report that the optional helper is unavailable; users can run python3 <path-to-lore-development>/scripts/ensure_local.py <project-root> directly. This standalone helper requires Python's standard library only.

If either CronCreate or CronList is unavailable in the Claude Code harness, skip all scheduling operations. Continue wiki setup and tell the user that scheduling was unavailable; do not substitute another harness's tools.

Steps

1. Create the wiki directory.

If the lore-development helper is available as described above, run it for the project before creating any local lore output. This creates .lore/local/ and adds the root-anchored /.lore/local/ rule to .gitignore without replacing existing contents. Do not require the helper or Cron for wiki/index setup. If the helper is unavailable or exits with an error, say local-lore setup did not succeed and do not claim .lore/local/ is ready. Continue the independent reference wiki/index setup; users can retry the helper directly.

Check whether .lore/reference/ exists. If not, create it. Then check whether .lore/reference/index.md or .lore/reference/index.html exists.

If neither index exists, write a minimal Markdown file at .lore/reference/index.md:

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.

init is a skill published in the GitHub repository rjroy/vibe-garden (6 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,213 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
