new-project

new-project is a skill for Claude Code from the-sid-dani/second-brain-os. It costs 69 tokens per session (5,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup tool that creates a new workspace project or an Area-owned app repository using the workspace's naming and metadata rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start projects, scaffold app repositories, create required project files, initialize Git when needed, and optionally connect a code project to GitHub.
Why use it?
It removes error-prone manual setup such as choosing the right folder, date, status, project type, templates, and repository configuration. Correct metadata keeps project discovery tools working.

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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

new-project

Scaffolds any new project — <assistant.name> meta-project OR Area-owned app repo. The two cases share 90% of the logic; the differences (folder location, git init, GitHub repo, app manifest) live in a single branch on the project-type question.

Before you begin: read the Configuration section in root CLAUDE.md. All paths, the user's name, and their GitHub username come from there. Throughout this skill, references like <workspace.projects> and <user.github> resolve to whatever's defined in that section. Don't hardcode.

Why this exists

Per-project YAML frontmatter is the source of truth for project discovery. Every new project must start with that frontmatter populated correctly, or /prune-projects and frontmatter queries break. Doing this by hand is error-prone — date prefix, status field, project-type enum, template selection, and (for code) GitHub remote setup all need to be right. This skill makes the happy path one command.

OKF structure (Pass 7, 2026-06-28 — corrected same day): every non-code project scaffolds a machine-generated index.md alongside CLAUDE.md + memory.md. The index is a derived view of frontmatter — never hand-edited — so it doesn't violate the "no static INDEX" rule (decision #15, amended #15a to permit machine-generated indexes). It answers "what exists here", the fix for ad-hoc file recreation. Do NOT pre-create folders — no forced inputs//working//outputs/ base-3 (that lifecycle scaffold was repealed; it's not part of OKF, which organizes by concept). Per C10, concept folders emerge as the project's content arrives, named for what they hold.

Code projects fold into this skill rather than living in a separate /new-code-project because the shape is the same: a folder with CLAUDE.md + memory.md + status frontmatter. New app repos live under the owning Area's apps/ subtree, initialize their own git, optionally create a GitHub remote, and carry app.manifest.json for discovery. <workspace.coding>/ is grandfathered for existing repos only.

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.

new-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository the-sid-dani/second-brain-os (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 5,280 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.
