frame-initiative

frame-initiative is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from siarhei-belavus/agent-public. It costs 43 tokens per session (473 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for creating the parent packet for a large initiative before splitting it into smaller tasks. An initiative packet is a shared set of project documents that records scope, decisions, structure, and open questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the required files under .initiatives/, seed discovery findings, add placeholders, and set the initial workflow status.
Why use it?
It gives related tasks one agreed source of context and makes unknowns explicit before implementation work begins.

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

frame-initiative 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 2mo 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

frame-initiative

Use when discovery shows the work needs a parent initiative packet before healthy child task packets can exist.

Read first

  • ../references/initiative-packet-contract.md
  • ../references/initiative-workflow-contract.md
  • ../references/final-state-authoring-policy.md
  • ../../references/communication-mode.md
  • relevant tracked AGENTS.md chain

Goal

Create the parent initiative packet exactly once and leave every later phase updating existing canonical files rather than inventing ad hoc packet structure.

Do

  1. Choose the initiative slug and create .initiatives/<initiative-slug>/.
  2. Create every required top-level file from the initiative packet contract.
  3. Seed INDEX.md, BRIEF.md, DECISIONS.md, INVARIANTS.md, REPO_MAP.md, CONTRACTS.md, and OPEN_QUESTIONS.md with the best current discovery facts.
  4. Create explicit placeholder stubs in UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md, TASK_GRAPH.md, and SYNC_LOG.md.
  5. Seed INDEX.md with:
    • Status: discovery during bootstrap
    • Next durable distill: later
  6. Exit bootstrap with Status: framed.
  7. Leave unknowns explicit instead of inventing certainty.

Writing rule

Write the packet as the initiative’s current working model. Do not explain how this packet differs from some earlier workflow shape. Do not leave transitional notes in canonical files.

Do not

  • split child tasks yet
  • write a delivery plan inside the initiative packet
  • duplicate giant prose that belongs in later child packets

Output bar

A fresh agent must be able to open the initiative packet and immediately see the problem, invariants, contracts, open questions, and the canonical files later phases own.

Communication

Honor active caveman mode for user-facing replies per ../../references/communication-mode.md. Keep durable artifacts normal unless the human asks otherwise. Drop caveman for safety/clarity when needed, then resume.

Changes

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.

frame-initiative is a skill published in the GitHub repository siarhei-belavus/agent-public (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 473 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.
