What it does
Project Docs is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when starting a new project, onboarding to an existing product, or auditing an existing folder structure against the standard. Scaffolds the 16-document set, folder structure, project memory and doc-sync config.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `templates/meeting-note-template.md`, `templates/project-memory.md` and `templates/sync-watch-configs.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering File organization, Project scaffolding and Agent memory. The repository describes itself as: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…
When your agent uses it

Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Gather Project Context
- Scaffold Folder Structure
- Create CLAUDE.local.md
- Create .sync-watch.json

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ddb559. 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.
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
Project Docs loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,206 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,206 words (~3,632 tokens).
“Every project needs the same core set of interconnected documents. This skill scaffolds a complete documentation ecosystem from day one so that:”
