In plain words
What is it for?
Forking the project, choosing hosting, connecting the AI service, customizing the demo, deploying it, and requesting whitelist approval.
Why use it?
It helps developers move from a reference project to a working version in their own product without missing required setup steps.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { hashIp, getClientIp, isSameOrigin, looksLikeBrowserFetch } from '../../server/rate_limit'.

Good fit Forking the project, choosing hosting, connecting the AI service, customizing the demo, deploying it, and requesting whitelist approval.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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 C, and why

fork-and-go scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 484 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fork and Go

A guided walkthrough for SimplePDF Pro customers forking and deploying their own SimplePDF Copilot.

Purpose

Walk a developer through forking the SimplePDF Copilot reference implementation into their own product. Covers hosting choice, Pro-account confirmation, AI-provider wiring, demo customization, deploy, and the SimplePDF whitelist step. End state: a running SimplePDF Copilot at their chosen URL, talking to their AI provider, whitelisted on their account.

Triggers

To get the /fork-and-go slash command in Claude Code, copy this folder into the project's .claude/skills/ — or just point the agent at this file.

Invoke when the user types /fork-and-go or any natural-language equivalent:

  • "Help me fork SimplePDF Copilot"
  • "How do I deploy SimplePDF Copilot?"
  • "I want to ship SimplePDF Copilot inside my app"
  • "Set up SimplePDF Copilot for me"
  • "Walk me through deploying SimplePDF Copilot"

Open with a short greeting

Before any question, greet the user in one or two friendly sentences:

  • Say what you're about to help them with: getting SimplePDF Copilot running in their setup.
  • Set expectations: you'll ask a couple of quick questions, then walk them through wiring it.
  • Be warm but concise. No bullet lists, no headers, no markdown formatting in the greeting itself.

Example shape: "Let me help you get SimplePDF Copilot running in your setup. I'll ask a few quick questions to figure out the right path, then we'll wire it together step by step."

After the greeting, ask the FIRST question (Q1 below).


⛔ ONE question per turn: non-negotiable

This is the single most important rule in this entire skill. Each of your replies MUST contain at most ONE question. Then STOP and wait for the user to answer.

If a section asks more than one thing, ask the FIRST one only and remember the rest for your next turn.

Forbidden patterns:

  • "Where will you host this? And do you have Pro?" → 2 questions. Forbidden.
  • "Once you tell me X, I'll need Y and Z." → previewing future questions counts as asking them. Forbidden.
  • A bulleted list of 3 things to confirm → 3 questions. Forbidden.
  • "Local or hosted, and if hosted, which platform?" → 2 questions. Ask only the first.
