What it does

Newproject is an agent skill from scunning1975/MixtapeTools. Scaffold a new research project with standard directory structure, CLAUDE.md template, and documented README. Use this at the start of every new project to ensure consistent organization.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: Tools for coding, teaching, and presentations with AI assistance.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “/newproject”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(mkdir*), Bash(cp*), Bash(ls*), Write, Read

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the project name from the argument. If none provided, ask.
  2. Determine location — default is current working directory. Confirm if unclear.
  3. Create all directories
  4. Copy CLAUDE.md from ~/mixtapetools/claude/CLAUDE.md
  5. Generate README.md with
  6. Create initial progress log at progress_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_setup.md
  7. Report success — show structure with ls, remind user to update CLAUDE.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9163a2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(mkdir*)
    • Bash(cp*)
    • Bash(ls*)
    • Write
    • Read

    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 bash and markdown).

    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

Newproject loads about 850 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~850

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 166 words (~850 tokens).
