What it does

New is an agent skill from clacky-ai/openclacky. Create a new project to start development quickly

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/create_rails_project.sh`).

The repository describes itself as: The most Token-efficient open-source AI Agent. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/new”

Requirements

Node.js
A Bash shell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Ask Project Type and Requirement
Check Directory Before Starting
Run Setup Script
Start Development Server

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16b639. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
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

New loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 13 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~13
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Create New Project

Usage

When user wants to create a new Rails project:

"help me create a new Rails project"
"I want to start a new Rails project"
"/new"

Process Steps

0. Ask Project Type and Requirement

Before doing anything, call ask_user with a structured prompt. Use the following as a guide:

zh:

json

{
  "question": "请选择项目类型，并用一句话描述你想做什么：",
  "context": "开始新项目前需要知道项目类型和需求，请先完成填写。",
  "options": ["⚡ Demo — 无数据库，AI 自由发挥，快速原型", "🏗️ Production — 真实应用，可部署，完整 Rails 配置"]
}

en:

json

{
  "question": "Choose a project type and describe what you want to build in one sentence:",
  "context": "Tell us what kind of project to create so we can get started.",
  "options": ["⚡ Demo — no database, AI builds freely, quick prototype", "🏗️ Production — real app, ready to deploy, full Rails setup"]
}

Based on user's choice:

If Demo: do NOT follow the Rails setup steps below. Instead, freely build a simple HTML/CSS/JS (or React) prototype directly in the working directory based on their requirement. Use your creativity.
If Production: continue with steps 1–3 below (full Rails flow).

1. Check Directory Before Starting

Before running the setup script, check if current directory is empty:

Use glob tool to check if directory has files: glob("*", base_path: ".")
If directory is NOT empty, ask user for confirmation: "Current directory is not empty. Continue anyway? (y/n)"
If user declines, abort and suggest creating project in an empty directory

2. Run Setup Script

Execute the create_rails_project.sh script (see Supporting Files below) in current directory. Use the exact absolute path shown in the Supporting Files section:

bash

<absolute path to create_rails_project.sh from Supporting Files>

The script will automatically:

Step 1: Clone Template

Clone rails-template-7x-starter to a temporary directory
Move all files to current directory
Delete template's .git directory
Initialize new git repository with initial commit

Step 2: Check Environment

Run rails_env_checker.sh to verify dependencies:
- Ruby >= 3.3.0 (auto-installed via mise if missing or too old — supports CN mirrors)
- Node.js >= 22.0.0 (will install automatically if missing on macOS/Ubuntu)
- PostgreSQL (will install automatically if missing on macOS/Ubuntu)
Script automatically installs missing dependencies without prompting

Step 3: Install Project Dependencies

Run ./bin/setup to:
- Install Ruby gems (bundle install)
- Install npm packages (npm install)
- Copy configuration files
- Setup database (db:prepare)

Step 4: Project Setup Complete

Script completes successfully
Project is ready to run

Show full SKILL.md (197 more words)Show less

3. Start Development Server

After the script completes, read the .1024 config file in the project root to find the run_command, then start it in the background via the terminal tool:

# First, read .1024 to get the run_command (usually `bin/dev` for Rails):
file_reader(path: ".1024")

# Then start the server in the background:
terminal(command: "<run_command from .1024>", background: true)

Important: If the terminal call returns a session_id (and no error), the server has started successfully. You can inspect logs later by polling the same session_id with an empty input.

Then inform the user and ask what to develop next:

✨ Rails project created successfully!

The development server is now running at: http://localhost:3000

You can open your browser and visit the URL to see the application.

What would you like to develop next?

Error Handling

Directory not empty → Ask user confirmation, abort if declined
Git clone fails → Check network connection, verify repository URL
Ruby < 3.3 or missing → Automatically installs Ruby 3.3 via mise (with CN mirror support); exits with instructions if mise install fails
Node.js < 22 → Script installs automatically (macOS/Ubuntu)
PostgreSQL missing → Script installs automatically (macOS/Ubuntu)
bin/setup fails → Show error, suggest running ./bin/setup manually
Dev server fails to start → Poll the terminal session (empty input) to check logs, verify database status

Example Interaction

User: "/new"

Response:

Can I use New 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 clacky-ai/openclacky --skill new -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/new, .gemini/skills/new, .github/skills/new and .opencode/skills/new in your project.

What does New need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, New needs a shell for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Node.js; A Bash shell.

Does New access the network?

Is New 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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does New use?

New 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 New use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.8k 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 New?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with New: Octopus Quick (nyldn/claude-octopus, 4.2k stars), GSD Quick Batch (open-gsd/gsd-core, 10k stars), Quick Design Spec (Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios, 26k stars) and Quick (notque/vexjoy-agent, 441 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
