init-tower-app

init-tower-app is a skill for Claude Code from tower/agentic-data-engineering. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,919 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A setup helper for creating a Tower app either from a basic hello-world scaffold or from existing Python pipeline code. A scaffold is a starting project structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a new Tower app or wrap existing Python data-pipeline code in one.
Why use it?
It reduces the initial work needed to turn a new idea or existing pipeline code into a Tower app.

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 C, and why

init-tower-app scanned grade C with 3 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Run `pip install uv`. If that also fails (e.g. no `pip`), check whether Python is available with `python3 --version`. Suggest the user install uv manually: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`. Status: BLOCK

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.

init-tower-app is a skill published in the GitHub repository tower/agentic-data-engineering (21 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,919 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
