setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code from rvdbreemen/adr-kit. It costs 24 tokens per session (313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for ADR Kit, a project practice for recording important architecture decisions and keeping guidance for using it. It can register the project, adopt an existing project, install hooks, or upgrade the local guide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register ADR Kit in a project, bring an existing project under its guidance, install its hooks, or upgrade its local instructions.
Why use it?
It makes the project’s decision-recording instructions available in a consistent, repeatable way. Re-running setup preserves unrelated user content and avoids unnecessary changes.

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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Set up an ADR Kit project (register, adopt, hooks, upgrade)

Reply in the language the user writes in; default to English. Keep command output, identifiers, paths, and ADR file content unchanged.

Invoke explicitly with $adr-kit:setup when needed. Resolve <plugin-root> from this installed skill, and <python> to the first of python3, python or, on Windows, py -3 that runs Python 3.10 or newer. Use only bundled, local ADR Kit tools and follow this canonical workflow:

  1. Setup is one entry point with four modes (spec R19): no argument runs register (this procedure); 'adopt' routes to the init workflow, 'hooks' to install-hooks, 'upgrade' to upgrade. Reject any other mode argument.
  2. Run <python> <plugin-root>/scripts/setup-project.py --client <client-id> --project-root <workspace>, where <client-id> is this client's id and <workspace> is the project root.
  3. Preserve all user content outside managed markers and .adr-kit/ADR-guide.local.md; rerunning unchanged input must be a no-op.

Do not contact another model or mutate user-owned instructions.

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.
