Install Project Surface Scan

skills CLI
$ npx skills add digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework --skill project-surface-scan -a claude-code

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

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework project-surface-scan --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/digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.gaai/core/skills/cross/project-surface-scan .claude/skills/project-surface-scan && rm -rf skills-src

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

Scan project root for file tree, dominant languages, and LOC estimate.

  • Works in 6 steps: Timed scan start → File tree walk → Extension frequency map → …

  • SKILL.md covers Purpose / When to Activate, Exclusions (always skip), Process and Output Schema…, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Project Surface Scan is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Scan project root for file tree, dominant languages, and LOC estimate. Produces structured baseline context for Stage 2 LLM synthesis during bootstrap. Respects .gitignore and standard exclusions. Outputs per-directory file counts, ranked language list, size class, and observability summary.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Observability

Example prompts

  • “/project-surface-scan”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

Workflow steps

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

  1. Timed scan start
  2. File tree walk
  3. Extension frequency map
  4. Language detection
  5. LOC estimation
  6. Observability summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. 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 yaml).

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Project Surface Scan loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 438 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 438 words (~1,426 tokens).
