Init

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to start documenting their project for claude-mega-brain
• The user says init mega brain
• Setup the knowledge base
• Inicializa o mega brain

Example prompts

• “init mega brain”
• “setup the knowledge base”
• “cria o okf”
• “/init”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Check if OKF files already exist — look for any .md with type: frontmatter, or an existing index.md / log.md. If found, tell the user and…
2. 2Detect project type (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, etc.) to personalize the index template.
3. 3Ask the user where they want the files — suggest project root or docs/ as default. If .mega-brain.json has a dir field, use that…
4. 4Write index.md and log.md in the chosen location.
5. 5Tell the user

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de1ab9c. 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 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

Init loads about 530 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~92

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~530

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

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.
