geno-init

geno-init is a skill for Claude Code from web-abin/OpenGeno. It costs 134 tokens per session (3,026 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that initializes an OpenGeno feature tree for a project. The tree is a set of documentation files that breaks the project into features and modules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it once to scan a codebase, propose its module breakdown, and create the initial OpenGeno feature documentation.
Why use it?
It gives a new project a structured documentation starting point and records choices such as language and generation mode.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

geno-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/drift-check.sh, scripts/post-edit-warn.sh, scripts/stop-check.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/geno-init

Bootstrap an OpenGeno feature tree for a project. Run once per project. If feat-tree/ already exists, abort and direct the user to /geno-sync instead.

This skill is the only command needed to set up the tree — and the only way to introduce the OpenGeno workflow rules into CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md.

Pre-flight

test -d feat-tree && echo "tree exists, abort" || echo "ok to init"

If the tree exists, stop. Tell the user to use /geno-sync for drift, or to manually add new feature docs from the templates in this skill's templates/ directory.

Workflow

Step 1 — Pick the documentation language

Use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "Which language should OpenGeno write the feature tree in?"
  • Options (English first, marked recommended):
    1. English (Recommended)
    2. 中文 (Chinese)

Store the choice as LANG = "en" or LANG = "zh". Critical: from this point on, every file you write under feat-tree/, every section heading, every prose line, every comment, every example value, every TODO placeholder MUST be in the chosen language. Do not mix languages within the tree.

If the user picks Chinese, you must write Chinese exclusively for the rest of this skill's execution. Do not silently fall back to English even for "small" things like field labels — the user will read every doc in their chosen language; mixing is jarring.

Step 2 — Pick the drift mode

Use AskUserQuestion, phrased in the chosen language:

  • Options:
    1. Warn (default): print drift summary at session-end, do not block
    2. Block: refuse to end session if drift exists

Store as DRIFT_MODE.

Step 3 — Pick the generation mode

Use AskUserQuestion, phrased in the chosen language:

  • Options:
    1. Stub (Recommended): shallow scan, generate L3 stubs, fill on demand
    2. One-shot full docs: deeper scan, attempt to fill every L3 section now

Store as MODE = "stub" or MODE = "full".

stub is the default because deeper code reading is expensive and hallucination-prone — the user should opt in deliberately. full is useful when the codebase is small and stable, and the user wants a complete first-pass tree to review wholesale rather than incrementally.

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.

geno-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository web-abin/OpenGeno (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 3,026 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
