$ npx skills add AgiFlow/aicode-toolkit --skill initialize-workspace -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install AgiFlow/aicode-toolkit initialize-workspace --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AgiFlow/aicode-toolkit.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/plugins/aicode-bootstrap/skills/initialize-workspace .claude/skills/initialize-workspace && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Initialize Workspace is an agent skill from AgiFlow/aicode-toolkit. Set up toolkit templates and project metadata in a consumer workspace. Trigger when the user asks to initialize AI Code Toolkit or scaffold cannot find templates. Do not trigger for routine editing in an already configured project.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Toolkit for Coding Agents to work reliably with repo of any size. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to initialize AI Code Toolkit
  • Scaffold cannot find templates
  • Routine editing in an already configured project

Example prompts

  • “/initialize-workspace”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d8debed. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Initialize Workspace loads about 358 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~358

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Set up toolkit templates and project metadata in a consumer workspace. Trigger when the user asks to initialize AI Code Toolkit or scaffold cannot find templates. Do not trigger for routine editing in an already configured project.

Initialize a consumer workspace

  1. Verify Node.js >=22.12, identify the consumer workspace and inspect existing templates/, .toolkit/settings.yaml and project.json files. Do not change directory into the plugin installation cache.
  2. Explain that plugin installation does not create templates. Ask permission to run the interactive npx -y @agiflowai/aicode-toolkit@2.0.0 init --skip-mcp in the consumer workspace. Do not claim a --yes flag or run initialization automatically. Avoid running sync: it writes entire client configuration files.
  3. Inspect the created templates and settings. For features in a monorepo, check each project's sourceTemplate; for a monolith, check the configured source template. Confirm the template path is valid and belongs to this workspace.
  4. Restart/reconnect the scaffold MCP server after initialization; it can fail at startup without templates. Monolith mode does not expose boilerplate creation tools.
  5. Tell the user what changed and how to undo it. Warn that workspace settings can enable admin tools or backend agents independently of plugin flags; ask before altering these settings.
