Welcome and onboard new EvoNexus users — introduce agents, skills, routines, and the dashboard.

What it does

Initial Setup is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Welcome and onboard new EvoNexus users — introduce agents, skills, routines, and the dashboard. Triggers when the user says 'get started', 'how do I use this', 'what can you do', 'help me get started', 'onboarding', 'show me around', 'what agents do I have', 'how does this work', 'first time here', or seems unfamiliar with the workspace. Also trigger when the user opens Claude Code in an EvoNexus workspace for the first time.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says get started
  • How do I use this
  • What can you do
  • Help me get started

Example prompts

  • “get started”
  • “how do I use this”
  • “what can you do”
  • “/initial-setup”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    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

Initial Setup loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,045 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.9k

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 2,045 words (~3,913 tokens).

“The user already has EvoNexus installed and running. Your job is to welcome them, show what's available, and help them start using agents, skills, and routines right away.”
