add-project is a skill for Claude Code from TimoBakx/ai-journaling-template. It costs 45 tokens per session (901 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-recording workflow that creates a file for a project in a repository’s projects/ folder. It first distinguishes a new project from an existing one and records its purpose, people, status, and working agreements.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps start a project record, document an ongoing project, and connect that record to external tools.
Why use it?
It prevents project information and team agreements from being left scattered or undocumented.

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

add-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 17d 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.

Add Project

Workflow for creating a project file in projects/, connecting it to external tools and recording the working agreements.

When

  • The user starts a new project or engagement
  • The user wants to document an existing (ongoing) project after all
  • The user explicitly asks to add a project

Steps

1. New or existing?

First ask explicitly: is this a new project (we are starting the engagement now) or an existing project (it is already running and we are recording it after all)?

This mainly determines how step 5 (working agreements) is filled in:

  • New: we shape the working agreements together, before the engagement really starts.
  • Existing: we record which working agreements already exist, so the coach can remind the user of them later.

2. Purpose & basic details

  • Project name (and the file name in kebab-case, e.g. new-client.md)
  • Purpose: what is the software trying to solve? The core of why this project exists.
  • Type: web application, API, plugin, etc.
  • Involvement: since when, in which role
  • Status: ongoing, new, on hold, etc.

3. People

  • Team members: who from the user's own organization is on it and in which role, plus the user's own role. (Colleagues have a file in people/.)
  • Contacts (client): the external stakeholders: name, role, and how the collaboration goes. These belong under the ## External Contacts section in the project file, not in people/.

4. Sensitive data (optional)

If the organization works with ISO, the GDPR or comparable frameworks, ask explicitly: does this project process sensitive information? (yes/no). If yes: briefly note what kind (personal data, client data, credentials). This is a flag, not a full analysis, but something that has to be visible as soon as the project comes up in that context.

5. Working agreements (Way of Work)

These agreements are reference information the coach uses to remind the user of things later when the project is discussed. So record them for new and existing projects alike. Clear agreements at the start of an engagement prevent most of the trouble later.

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.
