do-adopt

do-adopt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thermiteau/maverick. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,622 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project check that looks for missing development practices, such as linting tools that catch code-style problems or unit tests that check small pieces of code. It can either recommend changes or implement the top recommendation for each identified gap.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a repository for missing linting or unit-testing support, adopt the recommended practice, or generate recommendations without changing the project.
Why use it?
It helps identify basic engineering practices the project lacks and can handle the setup, configuration, verification, and commit for selected improvements.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the maverick plugin — 41 skills, 5 agents, 5 hooks shipped together

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

do-adopt 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.

Adopt Best-Practice Technologies

Scan the current project for missing best-practice areas and implement the top recommendation for each gap — or, in recommend mode, stop after producing recommendations without installing anything.

Modes and Invocation

$ARGUMENTS may contain a topic name, the word recommend, or both:

  • (empty) — adopt every gap topic in the table below.
  • <topic> — adopt that one topic only.
  • recommend [<topic>]recommend-only mode: perform the same detection and analysis, write the recommendation as a status: recommended project skill (see step 5R), and implement nothing. This replaces the old standalone do-recommend skill.

Do not prompt the user for which topics to process.

Topics

Topic Best-Practice Skill
linting mav-bp-linting
unit-testing mav-bp-testing

Detection hints for each topic come from the shared registry — ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/do-upskill/topics.json (scanHints per topic). Do not maintain a separate detection list here.

Process

For each topic:

1. Check Whether the Practice Already Exists

Apply the topic's scanHints (dependencies, grep patterns, file globs) plus a check for CI steps that run the tool. If the practice is already implemented (configs exist, dependencies present, actively used), skip the topic. Print: <topic>: already implemented, skipping.

2. Identify the Project's Tech Stack

Determine the primary language(s) and framework(s) by reading:

  • package.json (Node/JS/TS, look at framework deps like react, vue, express, etc.)
  • pyproject.toml / requirements.txt (Python)
  • go.mod (Go)
  • Cargo.toml (Rust)
  • build.gradle.kts / pom.xml (JVM)
  • Source file extensions and directory structure

3. Read the Best-Practice Skill

Read the corresponding best-practice skill (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md) to understand the recommended tools and configuration standards for the detected stack.

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.
