.claude/skills/cos-setup/SKILL.md

cos-setup is a skill for Claude Code from will-pagane/chief-of-staff-template. It costs 67 tokens per session (2,824 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

An interactive setup guide for building a personal knowledge system with Claude Code or Codex. It interviews the user, fills in context and team files, and helps configure MCP tools by capability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during onboarding to configure a second-brain workflow, team context, memory, and MCP connections.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of setting up an agent workspace and documenting how it should operate. It can create the appropriate CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file for the chosen host.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

This is will-pagane/chief-of-staff-template's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on chief-of-staff-template itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

cos-setup 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 12d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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.
