setup

A project bootstrap tool for aweek, a scheduler for coding agents. It creates the project's data directory and can install the recurring heartbeat that starts agent work on macOS or other POSIX systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize aweek, install its ten-minute heartbeat, or reset a previous heartbeat-installation choice.
Why use it?
It prepares the project and handles platform-specific scheduling, including macOS launchd and non-macOS crontab. This removes the need to configure the recurring job manually.

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

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

aweek:setup

Bootstrap a project for the aweek agent scheduler. Most users never need to run this manually — every other skill auto-bootstraps the project when it first runs. Use /aweek:setup when you want to explicitly control the heartbeat installation, or to reset a sticky heartbeat decision so other skills re-prompt.

It prepares the filesystem layout and (optionally) installs the 10-minute heartbeat that drives agent execution.

The heartbeat is installed via the platform's native scheduler:

  • macOS → a launchd user agent at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.aweek.heartbeat.<hash>.plist. This is the default on darwin because cron jobs can't access the macOS Keychain, and Claude Code's subscription OAuth tokens live there — the launchd user agent runs inside your aqua session, so Keychain access works exactly like from Terminal.
  • Linux / other POSIX → a crontab entry (*/10 * * * *). If a legacy crontab entry exists on a macOS machine from an earlier aweek version, it is migrated automatically the next time /aweek:setup installs the launchd agent.

Slash-command discovery is handled by the Claude Code plugin system — this skill does not copy markdown into .claude/commands/. Users who installed aweek via /plugin install aweek@… already have every /aweek:* command available.

This skill is a thin UX wrapper on top of src/skills/setup.ts. All filesystem mutations, crontab writes, and idempotency checks live in that module — do not edit .aweek/ or the user's crontab directly.

Arguments

/aweek:setup is interactive and takes no positional arguments. The underlying runInit() function in src/skills/setup.ts accepts the following optional options for advanced / non-interactive invocation:

Option Type Default Description
projectDir string process.cwd() Project root where .aweek/ will be created
dataDir string .aweek/agents Path (relative to projectDir) for the agent data directory
installHeartbeat boolean false Whether to install the 10-minute heartbeat crontab entry (destructive — requires confirmation)
heartbeatSchedule string */10 * * * * Cron schedule used when installHeartbeat is true
confirmed boolean false Must be true to allow destructive operations (crontab install, overwriting an existing data dir)

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 runbear-io/aweek (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 6,403 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
