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

onboard 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 6d 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.

$ARGUMENTS

What This Command Does

Guide the user through setting up the ai-toolkit in their project, including configuration and customization.

Setup Steps

Step 0: Intent Capture Interview

Before setting up tooling, understand the project's undocumented context. Ask the developer these questions (adapt based on what the codebase scan reveals):

  1. What's the one thing a new contributor always gets wrong? — This reveals the biggest documentation gap
  2. Are there files or directories that should NOT be modified? — Identifies protected areas (legacy, generated, vendor)
  3. What's the deployment model? — Monolith, microservices, serverless, edge — shapes which agents and skills are most relevant
  4. Are there non-obvious constraints? — Compliance requirements, performance budgets, browser support matrix
  5. What's the team's review culture? — Strict PR reviews, trunk-based, pair programming — configures /review behavior

Use answers to:

  • Customize the generated CLAUDE.md with project-specific warnings and conventions
  • Select the right --profile (minimal/standard/strict) automatically
  • Pre-configure relevant language rules

Step 1: Prerequisites Check

  • Claude Code CLI installed
  • ai-toolkit repository cloned
  • Current directory is the target project

Step 2: Install Toolkit

# Run the installer from the toolkit directory
/path/to/ai-toolkit/install.sh

This creates symlinks in .claude/:

  • agents/ -> toolkit agents
  • skills/ -> toolkit skills (slash commands + knowledge skills)
  • hooks.json -> quality gates
  • constitution.md -> safety rules

Step 3: Configure CLAUDE.md

Create a project-specific CLAUDE.md from the template:

cp /path/to/ai-toolkit/CLAUDE.md.template ./CLAUDE.md

Customize with:

  • Project description and tech stack
  • Coding standards specific to this project
  • Common development commands
  • Architecture notes

Step 4: Configure Settings

Edit .claude/settings.local.json for project-specific settings:

  • MCP server connections
  • Permission overrides
  • Environment variables

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.
