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

setup 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 1mo 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.

Interactive Setup Skill

Guides the agent (or user) through project initialization from the ai-project-template. This skill replaces the static SETUP_GUIDE.md with an interactive, multi-step workflow that lets adopters select which features to include.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • Starting a new project from the ai-project-template
  • Adopting template conventions into an existing project
  • Running /setup in an OMP session for a new repo
  • User says "set up this project" or "initialize from template"
  • User pastes the bootstrap prompt: "Set up this project from the ai-project-template. Read SETUP_GUIDE.md and follow the interactive setup."

One-Liner Trigger

When a user pastes this prompt, invoke this skill immediately:

Set up this project from the ai-project-template. Read SETUP_GUIDE.md and follow the interactive setup.

The skill will:

  1. Read SETUP_GUIDE.md for structured guidance
  2. Detect the context (greenfield vs existing repo)
  3. Ask targeted questions about language, build tools, and features
  4. Generate and customize files
  5. Verify the setup
  6. Present a post-setup orientation explaining what was installed

Prerequisites

Before running this skill:

  1. Ensure you're in a git repository (initialized or about to be)
  2. Verify you have write permissions to create files
  3. Read SETUP_GUIDE.md — it contains the authoritative step definitions

Feature Groups

The setup workflow operates on opt-in feature groups. Each group can be accepted or declined. The skill asks, doesn't assume.

Group Default Includes
Core Docs On (required) AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
CI Workflows On commit-lint, changelog-check, blob-size-policy, ci.yml, branch-lint
Agent Config On .omp/agents/ (code-reviewer, adr-writer, changelog-updater)
OMP Extensions On .omp/rules/, .omp/hooks/, .omp/tools/
OMP Skills On .omp/skills/ (cut-release, merge-to-main, template-guide)
Dev Container Off .devcontainer/ configuration
Code Quality On .editorconfig, code style thresholds
ADR Process On docs/decisions/, initial ADR template
Git Ignore On Language-specific .gitignore patterns
CODEOWNERS Off CODEOWNERS file

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.
