What it does

Init is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Set up docflow in a repo with no docs yet: scaffold the docs tree, write docflow.json, add agent guidance. Use when asked to "set up docflow", "initialize docs", "scaffold docs", or "make this repo use docflow".

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to set up docflow
  • Initialize docs
  • Make this repo use docflow

Example prompts

  • “set up docflow”
  • “initialize docs”
  • “scaffold docs”
  • “/init”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run doctor first.
  2. Route by recommendation.
  3. Pick docs root.
  4. Pick project name.
  5. Run scaffold from plugin root (idempotent; skips existing user content, refreshes generated files)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. 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:

    • bash
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 603 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~603

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.

description
Set up docflow in a repo with no docs yet: scaffold the docs tree, write docflow.json, add agent guidance. Use when asked to "set up docflow", "initialize docs", "scaffold docs", or "make this repo use docflow".

init

Goal: initialize docflow only when doctor says this repo has no meaningful docs yet. Keep existing user-authored files; generated maintenance files may be refreshed.

Steps

  1. Run doctor first.
bash
bash scripts/docflow-doctor.sh --target <REPO ROOT>
  1. Route by recommendation.

    • docflow-init: continue.
    • docflow-adopt: stop and run /docflow:adopt instead (preserves existing docs).
    • docflow-repair: stop and run /docflow:repair instead.
  2. Pick docs root.

    • Use docs/ unless the user explicitly chooses another root.
  3. Pick project name.

    • Prefer repo folder name.
    • If root README.md has clear project title, use that.
  4. Run scaffold from plugin root (idempotent; skips existing user content, refreshes generated files):

bash
bash scripts/scaffold.sh --docs-root <DOCS_ROOT> --project "<PROJECT NAME>" --target "<REPO ROOT>"

This creates the category tree, drops templates, writes docflow.json, and scaffolds AGENTS.md + GEMINI.md + .cursorrules.

  1. Add root README link if missing:

    • ## Documentation
    • link to <DOCS_ROOT>/README.md
  2. Seed the first changelog. Create <DOCS_ROOT>/changelog/(mmm-yy).md for the current month from the template, summarizing recent history (git log --no-merges --pretty='%h %ad %s' --date=short -20). Use the changelog skill for the format.

  3. Regenerate the map and validate:

    bash
    bash scripts/docflow-map.sh "<REPO ROOT>/<DOCS_ROOT>"
    bash scripts/docflow-validate.sh --target "<REPO ROOT>"

    Fresh template placeholders are warnings; validation errors are blockers.

  4. Report what was created (docs root, docflow.json, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, .cursorrules, validation status) and point the user at /docflow:author (writing), /docflow:router (reading), /docflow:validate (readiness), /docflow:repair (maintenance).

Rules

  • Never overwrite existing user-authored docs files.
  • If docs already exist, prefer /docflow:adopt over /docflow:init.
  • Keep AGENTS.md and docflow.json aligned on docs root.
  • Follow the naming rules in <DOCS_ROOT>/NAMING.md for every file you create after.
