Turns AIDD measurement on for a project, proves it is recording, lets a person opt into (or out of) naming themselves on their own records, and removes what was measured when asked.

  • SKILL.md covers Actions and Transversal rules

What it does

00 Init is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Turns AIDD measurement on for a project, proves it is recording, lets a person opt into (or out of) naming themselves on their own records, and removes what was measured when asked. Use when the user wants to start measuring what their work costs, wants to stop, asks why nothing is being recorded, wants their own name to appear on (or disappear from) what gets measured, or wants their measured data deleted. Not for answering what a piece of work consumed.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `actions/01-check.md`, `actions/02-enable.md` and `actions/03-verify.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to start measuring what their work costs
  • Asks why nothing is being recorded
  • Wants their own name to appear on (or disappear from) what gets measured
  • Wants their measured data deleted

Example prompts

  • “Use the 00-init skill to turn AIDD measurement on for a project, proves it is recording, lets a person opt into (or out of) naming themselves on…”
  • “/00-init”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

00 Init loads about 886 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~886

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.

A second, independent choice belongs to the person rather than the project: whether their own records carry an identifier at all.

  ask2([this person]) --> identify
  identify -.->|"already chose"| status1([relayed, unchanged])
  identify -->|"opted in"| withdraw([forget: withdraw naming])
  withdraw -.->|"never opted in"| status2([relayed, unchanged])

A third, independent ask reaches the same action, and needs neither of the two above: removing what this tool measured, wholly, on this machine.

  ask3([asks to be forgotten]) --> shown([forget: shown what would go, and what history keeps])

Actions

Run the flow above. Read only the next action file.

ActionDoes
checkconfirm the CLI and read the current switch
enableask, then turn measurement on
verifyprove a session is actually being recorded
identifyask this person, then attach their own identifier, and offer to link another identifier as the same one
forgetwithdraw naming, or remove everything this tool measured — two different asks, one action

Transversal rules

  • Measuring someone's project is theirs to allow. Ask before turning it on, always.
  • Naming a person is theirs alone to allow, separately from the project switch above — never assumed from the project being measured, never asked on someone else's behalf.
  • Run only aidd telemetry on --yes, aidd telemetry off, aidd telemetry identity's own verbs, and aidd telemetry forget's own verbs (preview first, --yes only after this person has seen it and confirmed). Never a script, and never a command belonging to another skill.
  • aidd telemetry identity never reads .aidd/config.json or AIDD_USER_CONFIG_DIR — both are settings a repository or a CI job can set, and this choice is not theirs to make. It reads and writes only this machine's own user profile.
  • Removing what was measured is irreversible, and reaches further than one project: this machine's stored records span every project ever measured on it, not only the one being discussed. Never presented as reversible, and never presented as scoped to one project when it is not.
  • What history keeps is relayed exactly as aidd telemetry forget states it — a journal already committed as certainly held, one merely staged but never committed as not yet held, one not tracked at all as possibly held — and is never presented as removable. No command in this skill rewrites git history.
  • The aidd command cannot be found: say so and change nothing.

When should I use 00 Init?

00 Init fits situations like: the user wants to start measuring what their work costs; asks why nothing is being recorded; wants their own name to appear on (or disappear from) what gets measured; wants their measured data deleted.

How do I install 00 Init in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 00-init -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/aidd-telemetry/skills/00-init in ai-driven-dev/framework) into .claude/skills/00-init in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install 00 Init in Codex?

Run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 00-init -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/aidd-telemetry/skills/00-init in ai-driven-dev/framework) into .agents/skills/00-init in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use 00 Init in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 00-init -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/00-init, .gemini/skills/00-init, .github/skills/00-init and .opencode/skills/00-init in your project.

What does 00 Init need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: 00 Init is instructions for the agent only.

Does 00 Init access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is 00 Init safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does 00 Init use?

00 Init is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does 00 Init use?

About 886 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to 00 Init?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with 00 Init: Init (asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks, 69k stars), Init (asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks, 69k stars), Recording (codewhale-hq/Codewhale, 41k stars) and Architecture Decision Records (affaan-m/ECC, 274k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
