init-project

init-project is a skill for Claude Code from UfoMiao/zcf. It costs 20 tokens per session (638 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-initialization workflow that creates or updates CLAUDE.md files, which are written instructions and indexes for an AI working in a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a project’s architecture, modules, interfaces, dependencies, entry points, tests, and related navigation diagrams.
Why use it?
It gives the AI a concise project overview and more detailed guidance for individual modules, making the repository easier to navigate.

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

init-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Usage

/init-project <PROJECT_SUMMARY_OR_NAME>

Objective

Initialize project AI context using a mixed strategy of "concise at root + detailed at module level":

  • Generate/update CLAUDE.md at repository root (high-level vision, architecture overview, module index, global standards).
  • Generate/update local CLAUDE.md in identified module directories (interfaces, dependencies, entry points, tests, key files, etc.).
  • ✨ For improved readability, automatically generate Mermaid structure diagrams in the root CLAUDE.md and add navigation breadcrumbs to each module CLAUDE.md.

Orchestration Instructions

Step 1: Call the get-current-datetime sub-agent to obtain the current timestamp.

Step 2: Call the init-architect sub-agent once, with input:

  • project_summary: $ARGUMENTS
  • current_timestamp: (timestamp from step 1)

Execution Strategy (Agent adapts automatically, no user parameters needed)

  • Stage A: Repository Census (Lightweight) Quickly count files and directories, identify module roots (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, apps/, packages/, services/*, etc.).
  • Stage B: Module Priority Scanning (Medium) For each module, perform targeted reading and sampling of "entry/interfaces/dependencies/tests/data models/quality tools".
  • Stage C: Deep Supplementation (As Needed) If repository is small or module scale is small, expand reading scope; if large, perform batch supplemental scanning on high-risk/high-value paths.
  • Coverage Measurement and Resumability Output "scanned files / estimated total files, covered module ratio, ignored/skipped reasons" and list "recommended next-step deep-dive sub-paths". When running /init-project repeatedly, perform incremental updates and breakpoint resumable scanning based on previous index.

Security and Boundaries

  • Only read/write documentation and indexes, do not modify source code.
  • Ignore common generated artifacts and binary large files by default.
  • Print "summary" in main dialog, write full content to repository.

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.
