What it does

结构化新项目初始化工作流,适用于显式 project-init、仓库开荒、生成项目级 AGENTS.md 或按技术栈落基础脚手架文件的场景;不负责替用户无差别覆盖现有配置。

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

12- 已成熟项目上的大规模重写
13- 代替 feature 开发或 bug 修复
14- 无确认地覆盖已有 AGENTS.md、Dockerfile 或脚本
15- 为 Claude/Gemini 生成专属配置文件
16- 默认生成 README.md 这类扫描型项目文档;需要生成或刷新 README 时使用 project-scan

18## 核心方式
19
201. 先读取仓库现状,判断是不是空仓库、样板仓库,还是已有部分脚手架。
212. 优先从现有文件推断技术栈,再只问缺失的关键信息:项目描述、启动方式、数据库迁移、额外约定、是否需要脚手架文件。
223. 需要项目级说明时,以 assets/AGENTS.project.md 为起点生成仓库根目录 AGENTS.md,内容聚焦项目特定约定,不重复用户级全局规则;模板中的 AUTO:* 区块可供后续 project-scan 增量刷新。若项目包含 Java 代码,需遵守项目署名约定:文档和代码署名统一使用 wwj,新增 Java 文件或补齐文件头注释时使用 @author wwj。
234. 默认同时初始化项目级 .codex/ 最小骨架:.codex/tasks/、.codex/tasks/archived/、.codex/templates/,保证后续 new-feature 可直接持久化任务;若这些目录已存在,则只补缺失项,不整目录覆盖。若项目根目录本身没有写权限,必须先触发平台原生审批流程;只有审批后仍失败,才说明当前会话无法在该项目内初始化骨架。
245. 只有用户明确要创建或补齐额外脚手架时,才从 assets/ 选择对应模板;不要默认把所有模板都写进仓库。

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈30
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
3,920
on trigger
The instruction body and 12 supporting files, read only when the skill fires.
2.0%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 20% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

4k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

13 files, 15.8 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in. 3 files of its source are not in the download — listed after these, with why.

  • SKILL.md3.1 kB
  • agents/openai.yaml0.8 kB
  • assets/AGENTS.project.md3.8 kB
  • assets/docker-compose-mysql.yml.tmpl0.6 kB
  • assets/docker-compose-redis.yml.tmpl0.4 kB

Not in the download

Not carried is a type a skill download does not hold. Take them from its source.

What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the download is 13 files — not the whole of its source: 3 files are left out. They are listed under the files, with why. The Source-available licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Project Initializer · 4k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/project-initializer/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/project-initializer" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/project-initializer ] || { mv .claude/skills/project-initializer "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/project-initializer" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/project-initializer"
On Windows, or any OS with Node 20+
npx mcprush@latest skill add doccker/project-initializer

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/project-initializer/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/project-initializer/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/project-initializer" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/project-initializer ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/project-initializer "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/project-initializer" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/project-initializer" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/project-initializer/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as project-init in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, project-initializer. Not in this download: 3 files of its source (the full list, and why). Take them from its source.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
