team-init

team-init is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (543 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase-discovery tool for existing projects. It examines a project that already has code, identifies its subsystems and conventions, and drafts reusable team guidance; such an existing project is often called a brownfield project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect legacy or established projects, detect areas such as authentication or payments, compare existing team guidance, and prepare new guidance for review.
Why use it?
Teams often rely on unwritten rules when they inherit or join an old codebase. This helps make those rules visible before refactoring or onboarding contributors.

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

team-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 15d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/team-init.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.

What it actually says

team-init

What this skill does

Reverse-engineer Context Directive Records (CDRs) from an existing codebase (brownfield) to document reusable patterns for contribution to team-ai-directives.

Replaces the former team-init skill. Drafts are written to the adlc orphan branch of team-ai-directives (not project-local .adlc/drafts/).

When to use

  • Brownfield projects: Existing code without team-wide directives
  • Legacy modernization: Extract reusable patterns before refactoring
  • Team onboarding: Turn implicit conventions into explicit directives

When NOT to use

  • Greenfield (session complete): Use /team-levelup to extract from session
  • Mining git history: Use /change-init for past decisions

Process

Phase 0: Environment Setup

Run: scripts/team-init.sh --setup

Resolves REPO_ROOT, TEAM_AI_DIRECTIVES, NEXT_CDR, ADLC_BRANCH.

Phase 1: Sub-System Detection

Analyze codebase for distinct sub-systems (same detection as former team-init):

  • src/auth/ → Authentication
  • services/payment/ → Payment
  • etc.

Phase 2: Load Team Directives

Read existing team-ai-directives main branch for comparison (avoid duplicates).

Phase 3: Multi-Agent Analysis

  1. Discovery Agent: Scan each sub-system for raw patterns
  2. Pattern Agent: Classify and score patterns for reusability
  3. Synthesis Agent: Cross-sub-system analysis and CDR generation

Phase 4: Write CDRs

Write to adlc branch drafts/cdr/ using the shared CDR draft template at skills/team/templates/cdr-draft-template.md.

Phase 5: Handoff

Suggest running /team-levelup to review and publish the discovered CDRs.

Verification

  • CDRs written to adlc branch drafts/cdr/
  • No CDRs in .adlc/drafts/ (old location)
  • cdr.md index regenerated in adlc branch
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.
