clone-projects

clone-projects is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tanya-ok/engineering-os. It costs 53 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository setup tool that copies project code into a local workspace organized by the same domains as an engineering knowledge vault. A manifest lists which repositories belong to each domain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clone or resync repositories for onboarding, machine setup, or workspace refreshes, with optional subfolders for categories such as tooling.
Why use it?
It keeps notes, runbooks, and the code they describe next to each other, reducing manual setup when joining a machine or refreshing projects.

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

clone-projects 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (clone-projects.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

clone-projects

engineering-os holds your knowledge (the vaults) and, with this skill, the actual code too. It clones the repositories listed in a manifest into a workspace organized by the same five domains as the work vault, so workspace/CloudOps/ mirrors vault-template/CloudOps/: a runbook and the stack it documents live one directory apart.

Manifest

Copy projects.example.tsv to projects.tsv at the repo root and list your repos. It is tab-separated, the header row is skipped:

repo	domain	subcategory
network-stack	CloudOps	_
cost-reports	FinOps	_
ci-pipelines	DevOps	tooling
  • repo - the repository name (the org is supplied separately).
  • domain - any top-level folder; use the five vault domains (CloudOps, FinOps, DevOps, SecOps, Architecture) to keep code and notes aligned.
  • subcategory - an optional extra nesting level; _ or empty means none.

projects.tsv is gitignored; it is your data, not part of the kit.

Run

export EOS_GITHUB_ORG=your-org           # required: the GitHub org or owner
# optional: EOS_WORKSPACE_PATH=~/work    # default is a sibling engineering-os-workspace

./standards/skills/clone-projects/clone-projects.sh          # clone what is missing
./standards/skills/clone-projects/clone-projects.sh --sync   # also fetch --prune existing clones

The script is idempotent: existing clones are skipped (or fetched with --sync), so it is safe to re-run. It uses gh if available (handles private repos and auth), otherwise git clone over HTTPS. Every action is logged to clone.log in the workspace, and it exits non-zero if any repo failed.

Layout produced

engineering-os-workspace/           (sibling of the engineering-os repo)
  CloudOps/
    network-stack/                  <- git clone
    observability/monitoring/       <- domain/subcategory/repo
  FinOps/
    cost-reports/
  DevOps/
    tooling/ci-pipelines/

Why this shape

The workspace is a derived, disposable checkout of remote repos: delete it and re-run to rebuild. Keeping it a sibling of the engineering-os repo (not nested inside) keeps the kit small and avoids committing other people's code. Mirroring the vault domains means an agent that searched the vault for a CloudOps runbook can find the matching code in the same domain folder.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

clone-projects is a skill published in the GitHub repository tanya-ok/engineering-os (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
