project-init

project-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from UnBergant/bergant-workflow. It costs 129 tokens per session (2,602 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a product specification into project documentation. It covers review, research, architecture, planning, breaking work into smaller slices, and optional Jira synchronisation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse a specification, create architecture and planning documents, divide features into tasks, review findings, or check the status of an ongoing specification analysis.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for moving from an informal or detailed specification to organised development documents. It also records the current phase so work can continue from where it stopped.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

project-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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Init

Turns a specification into plan documents. On a repository that already exists, most tasks do not need this at all — lifecycle adopts the project and runs without a plan document. Reach for project-init when the deciding has not happened yet, and use --from <phase> to skip the phases whose answers the project already has.

Routing

status (or no arguments): execute INLINE — read docs/spec-state.json and display the phase table. Do NOT launch an agent. See "Status Display" below.

This skill's directory (its reference files live here) — resolved at runtime: !echo ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}

All other commands (start, complete, recover): launch Agent(general-purpose) with the prompt below. Replace SKILL_DIR with the absolute path printed just above:

Read the project-init skill:
- Commands and rules: SKILL_DIR/SKILL.md (from "## Agent Instructions")
- Phase execution details: SKILL_DIR/references/phases.md (read ONLY the active phase section)

Execute command: $ARGUMENTS
State file: docs/spec-state.json
Project root: !`pwd`

Read existing docs/ artifacts for context before acting.
Follow all instructions. When you hit a user gate, return findings, options, and what needs discussion. Be concise.

If the agent returns an error, display it without re-running.

Status Display

Read docs/spec-state.json. If missing: "No active spec analysis. Use /bergant-workflow:project-init start <spec-file> to begin."

Display formatted table:

  • Each phase with status (pending, in_progress, completed)
  • Current phase highlighted
  • User gates marked
  • Next action needed

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.
