new-project

new-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from T4LEL/Claude-Arsenal. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,076 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for checking whether an app, product, or side-project idea is worth building before writing code. It examines the customer, problem, alternatives, competitors, demand, and willingness to pay.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a target customer, research competing products and demand, reach a build-or-stop verdict, and choose a small real-world test.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of spending time building something people do not need or would not buy.

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

new-project 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 12d 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.

New Project

Take a raw idea to a running, git-tracked, Claude-ready project skeleton.

Templates are bundled with this skill in templates/ (synced copies — the source of truth is the toolkit repo at X:\Projects\ClaudeCode\templates\; edit there, then re-run sync.ps1).

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

New Project Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Gather requirements
- [ ] Step 2: Design gate
- [ ] Step 3: Scaffold by type
- [ ] Step 4: CLAUDE.md + git init
- [ ] Step 5: Verify it runs (mandatory)
- [ ] Step 6: Hand off

Step 1 — Gather

Use what the user already provided (including arguments to this skill); ask only for what's missing.

  • Name (kebab-case) and one-line purpose.
  • Type: webapp (default), api, or other.
  • Location: default X:\Projects\<name>.
  • Paid product? If yes, note it — Step 6 points at /monetize.

Step 2 — Design gate

If the product hasn't been brainstormed yet in this conversation, invoke superpowers:brainstorming for the product itself BEFORE scaffolding. Never scaffold an undesigned product. If a design/spec already exists, proceed.

Step 3 — Scaffold by type

If a scaffold command fails, stop and fix it before continuing: read the exact error; for generator flag errors run the generator's --help and adapt — flags drift between versions and the intent below matters more than the exact flags. Never leave a half-scaffolded folder silently: finish it, or delete it and report why.

webapp (Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind + Supabase):

npx create-next-app@latest <name> --typescript --tailwind --eslint --app --src-dir --import-alias "@/*" --use-npm --yes
cd <name>
npm install @supabase/supabase-js @supabase/ssr

Then create .env.example (NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, commented), src/lib/supabase/ client helpers per current @supabase/ssr docs (fetch them via the context7 MCP tools — the cookie/session patterns change), and a supabase/migrations/ folder. Only create the actual Supabase project when the design needs a database — ask before creating cloud resources.

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.
