project-bootstrap

project-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code from shawnclybor/clybor-claude-tooling. It costs 160 tokens per session (1,591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided installer for reusable Claude Code tools from the clybor-claude-tooling catalogue. It examines a project profile and adds selected tools to the project’s .claude/ directory and instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project and wanting a proposed set of Claude tools with explanations and routing entries in CLAUDE.md.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of choosing compatible tools, copying their files, and wiring them into the project.

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

project-bootstrap 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 1mo 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Bootstrap

Sets up a new project with tooling from the catalog. Seven steps, one at a time.

The catalog lives at the clybor-claude-tooling repo root: catalog.json indexes every asset under assets/skills/<id>/ with its domains, requirements, and adaptation tokens. This skill is the consumer side: filter, propose, install, personalize, record.

Step 1 — Read the catalog, profile the project

Locate the catalog repo (default ~/gits/clybor-claude-tooling/; ask if not found). Read catalog.json. Then ask the user AT MOST 4 questions, in one round:

  1. Project type — consulting engagement / coding project / research / mixed?
  2. Client surface — Claude Code, Cowork, or both? (filters on each asset's targets)
  3. Domains in play — pick from the domain values present in the catalog (show them).
  4. Seed values — the project/client name and any obvious adaptation values (e.g., where notes and tasks should live, if known).

If the user's request already answers a question, don't re-ask it. Fewer than 4 is better than 4.

Step 2 — Propose the install set

Filter the catalog on targets + domains. Present the proposed set as a short list, one line per asset: name, one-line rationale drawn from its summary, and its adaptation tokens. Mark anything borderline as optional. Wait for approval or edits.

Step 3 — Copy assets in

For each approved asset, copy assets/skills/<id>/ into the project's .claude/skills/<id>/. Copy semantics (never destructive):

  • If the destination file does not exist → copy.
  • If it exists → write the new version alongside as <file>.new and tell the user to diff before merging. Never overwrite.

Step 4 — Route every installed asset in CLAUDE.md

An installed skill the router never mentions is unreachable. A cold session follows CLAUDE.md's routing table and nothing else — it will not discover a skill by listing .claude/skills/. Installing without routing ships a capability that cannot fire.

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.
