dxkit-init

dxkit-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vyuh-labs/dxkit. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,857 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for adding dxkit to a software repository. It helps choose command options, runs the initial setup, and records a starting baseline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting dxkit in a new repository, choosing setup flags, enabling guardrails, or creating the repository’s agent context files.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from installing dxkit and deciding whether to add agent instructions, code checks, Git hooks, or development-container support.

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

dxkit-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 5d 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.

dxkit-init

This skill scaffolds dxkit on a repo: chooses flags, runs init, captures a baseline, and points at the next steps.

Decision tree

Ask the user what they want, then pick the right invocation:

  1. "Just give me everything"npm init @vyuhlabs/dxkit (collapses install + init), or if dxkit is already a devDep: npx vyuh-dxkit init --full --yes
  2. "I only want the agent context, no guardrails yet"npx vyuh-dxkit init --with-dxkit-agents --yes
  3. "I want guardrails but no CI"npx vyuh-dxkit init --with-hooks --with-dxkit-agents --yes
  4. "I want the full setup but no pre-commit"--full --yes already does this (pre-commit is opt-in via --with-precommit-hook because it's slow on large repos)
  5. "Interactive — talk me through it"npx vyuh-dxkit init (no --yes) and let it prompt

Flag reference

Flag What it ships Default under --full?
--with-dxkit-agents The dxkit-* skills + AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md shim Yes
--with-hooks .githooks/pre-push + postinstall activation wire-up Yes
--with-precommit-hook Adds .githooks/pre-commit (slow on large repos) No (still opt-in)
--with-devcontainer .devcontainer/devcontainer.json (per-stack features) + post-create.sh Yes
--with-ci .github/workflows/dxkit-guardrails.yml (PR gate) — plus, when the stack declares a capability the ubuntu runner can't serve (e.g. a net*-windows build), a generated dxkit-gate-<host>.yml per required host; tell the user to mark it a required PR check alongside dxkit-guardrails Yes
--with-baseline-refresh .github/workflows/dxkit-baseline-refresh.yml (post-merge regen; on a multi-environment stack with lint gating enabled it also captures each placed host's baseline slice and merges before committing) Yes
--with-pr-review .github/workflows/pr-review.yml (AI PR review; needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) No (still opt-in)
--claude-loop Stop-gate hook for autonomous loops (additive merge into .claude/settings.json + CLAUDE.md); implies the dxkit skills. Pair with --loop-preset security-only|full-debt No (opt-in — registers a hook that blocks the agent from stopping)
--flow / --no-flow Set up / suppress the UI→API integration gate. When init detects a UI→API surface it offers this automatically (interactive prompt for the posture); --flow forces it on with warn, --no-flow skips it. There is no standalone flow init — flow setup lives inside init. Auto-offered when a UI→API surface is detected (silent otherwise)

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.
