init

A one-time setup workflow for Straw Boss in a software project. It records which applications the project manages, how work should be routed, and whether local agent dispatch is available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up Straw Boss for the first time or changing its project configuration. It can manage the app list, agent and model routing, and local dispatch settings.
Why use it?
It gives the coordination system the project information it needs before other Straw Boss workflows run.

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 B, and why

init scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Three independent one-time decisions, all persisted so no other skill has to ask again: which apps this project manages (project-level, checked into git, shared with the team), which work routes should select each provider profile/model/effort and optional Claude Code native advisor (project-level, written into root CLAUDE.md), and whether herdr-pane dispatch is available on this machine (per-user, per-machine, lives under the user's home directory). A project can be re-init'd to change any one of these without touching the other two.

Task 1: Check for an existing apps config

Locate the repo root with git rev-parse --show-toplevel — never assume the current directory is the root. Read <repo-root>/.claude/straw-boss/apps.json (schema: references/apps-config-schema.md). If it exists, show the current app list and ask whether the user wants to keep it, add/remove apps, or redo it from scratch — do not silently overwrite it.

  • Keep, no changes: Task 2 is a no-op — the config already reflects the intended app list, so don't re-run its resolution dialogue. The rest of the skill still runs in full: Task 3's agent-routing question, Tasks 4-8's capability/herdr decisions are independent of the apps list, Task 9 still checks each app for a missing agent system, and Task 10 still re-syncs CLAUDE.md, in case that file drifted independently of the config.
  • Add/remove apps, or redo from scratch: Task 2 runs for real, scoped to what the user asked to change (e.g. only the new apps, not re-confirming ones the user didn't mention).
  • No existing config: Task 2 runs fresh, as normal.

Verification: either no config was found and Task 2 proceeds fresh, or one was found and the user gave an explicit keep/change answer that determined whether Task 2's resolution dialogue actually ran.

Task 2: Resolve the managed apps

Figure out which directories are the project's apps and how each should be matched. Two ways in, use whichever fits:

Files

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.

init is a skill published in the GitHub repository wayne930242/straw-boss (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 3,517 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
