do-init

do-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thermiteau/maverick. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,235 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup workflow for preparing a repository to use Maverick, a project workflow system. It checks the GitHub connection, installs needed tools, creates configuration and documentation, runs a security audit, commits the setup, and opens a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adopting Maverick in an existing repository. It is for project setup, not for changing the repository's application code.
Why use it?
It gathers the project setup work into one process and leaves the changes ready for review instead of requiring manual configuration across several steps.

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.

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-init 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.

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

Init Maverick Project

Set up the current repository for Maverick — install the CLI if needed, validate the Maverick GitHub App, write the project-level config, scaffold docs and project skills, run the cybersecurity audit, then commit everything and open a pull request for the user to approve.

Execution Context

This skill runs in its own forked context (context: fork) — you are executing it directly; there is no separate agent to dispatch. Follow the process below exactly and end with the structured result in the Return section. Do not modify the user's project source code, perform git operations beyond what the process prescribes, or provision infrastructure.

Process

1. Ensure the Maverick CLI is installed and matches the plugin

Run command -v maverick to check whether the CLI is already on PATH.

If maverick is not on PATH, dispatch the /maverick:do-install skill and wait for it to complete. After the install returns, re-run command -v maverick to confirm the binary is now resolvable. If it still is not (e.g. ~/.local/bin is not on the user's PATH), report the install message verbatim to the user and stop — they need to fix PATH and re-invoke /maverick:do-init manually.

If maverick is on PATH, verify the installed CLI matches the loaded plugin. A stale binary from an earlier plugin version can be missing subcommands the rest of this skill depends on (e.g. maverick integration, maverick preflight).

  • Read the installed CLI version: maverick --version
  • Read the plugin version: grep -Po '(?<=^version = ")[^"]+' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/pyproject.toml"
  • If they differ, dispatch /maverick:do-install to refresh the CLI. That skill always runs uv tool install --force from the plugin root, so it overwrites whatever is currently installed. After it returns, re-run maverick --version and confirm it now matches the plugin version. If it still does not, surface the mismatch to the user and stop.
  • If the versions already match, skip to step 2.

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.
