What it does

Setup Project is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use to generate HOTL adapter files for the current project — creates AGENTS.md, .clinerules, cursor rules, or copilot instructions depending on tools the team uses.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. 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

  • Generate HOTL adapter files for the current project — creates AGENTS.md
  • Copilot instructions depending on tools the team uses

Example prompts

  • “/setup-project”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ask: "Which code assistants does your team use?" (select all that apply)
  2. Ask: "Will this project run multi-phase initiatives?" Default: no. Only answer yes for multi-phase work like major migrations, v1/v2…
  3. For each selected tool, generate the appropriate file

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

Setup Project loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Setup Project for HOTL

Overview

Generate the right config files so every code assistant on your team follows HOTL principles.

Announce: "Running HOTL project setup. Let me check what tools your team uses."

Process

  1. Ask: "Which code assistants does your team use?" (select all that apply)

    • Claude Code
    • Codex (OpenAI)
    • Cline (VS Code extension)
    • Cursor
    • GitHub Copilot

  2. Ask: "Will this project run multi-phase initiatives?" Default: no. Only answer yes for multi-phase work like major migrations, v1/v2 rewrites, platform rebuilds, or any effort that will span multiple phases with separate phase design docs and workflows. For a single feature, bug fix, or refactor, answer no — the standard HOTL flow handles those just fine.

    If yes, ask the follow-up: "What's the initiative slug? (kebab-case, e.g. ai-assurance, v2-migration)". Validate the answer matches [a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*.

    If no (or if the user declines to opt in), skip step 5 entirely and proceed with tool-adapter generation only.

  3. For each selected tool, generate the appropriate file:

ToolFile GeneratedLocation
Claude CodeCLAUDE.mdProject root
CodexAGENTS.md; optional .codex/agents/*.tomlProject root
Cline.clinerulesProject root
Cursor.cursor/rules/hotl.mdProject root
GitHub Copilot.github/copilot-instructions.mdProject root

  1. Each generated file contains:

    • HOTL operating principles (intent/verification/governance contracts)
    • Brainstorming guidance that produces design docs in docs/designs/
    • Link to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-workflow.md format
    • Risk level guidelines
    • What always requires human review

  2. If Codex was selected, ask whether to install HOTL Codex custom agent templates. Default: yes. These templates make the bundled reviewer, architect, researcher, QA, dev, and PM roles available to the target project as Codex project-scoped custom agents.

    Resolve hotl-install-codex-agents.sh using the same six-location install-path order as the initiative scaffolder below:

    1. If you are working in the hotl-plugin repo itself, use scripts/hotl-install-codex-agents.sh
    2. Codex native-skills install: ~/.codex/hotl/scripts/hotl-install-codex-agents.sh
    3. Codex plugin install: ~/.codex/plugins/hotl-source/scripts/hotl-install-codex-agents.sh
    4. Codex plugin cache fallback: ~/.codex/plugins/cache/codex-plugins/hotl/*/scripts/hotl-install-codex-agents.sh
    5. Cline install fallback: ~/.cline/hotl/scripts/hotl-install-codex-agents.sh
    6. Claude Code plugin fallback: ~/.claude/plugins/hotl/scripts/hotl-install-codex-agents.sh

    Invoke the installer from the project root:

    bash
    bash <resolved-hotl-install-codex-agents.sh>

    The installer creates .codex/agents/ and copies the tracked HOTL templates from adapters/codex-agents/ into it. Existing agent files are preserved by default and emitted as SKIP: lines. Only use --force when the user explicitly approves overwriting existing project agent files.

  3. If the user opted in to initiative support in step 2, invoke the scaffolder to create .hotl/config.yml, the six docs/<tier>/ directories, and the four initiative-tier templates under docs/prompts/. The scaffolder should configure docs/designs/ as the canonical design-doc home and docs/plans/ as the canonical workflow home.

    Resolve hotl-init-initiative.sh using the same six-location order as document-lint.sh and hotl-config.sh (see skills/document-review/SKILL.md):

    1. If you are working in the hotl-plugin repo itself, use scripts/hotl-init-initiative.sh
    2. Codex native-skills install: ~/.codex/hotl/scripts/hotl-init-initiative.sh
    3. Codex plugin install: ~/.codex/plugins/hotl-source/scripts/hotl-init-initiative.sh
    4. Codex plugin cache fallback: ~/.codex/plugins/cache/codex-plugins/hotl/*/scripts/hotl-init-initiative.sh
    5. Cline install fallback: ~/.cline/hotl/scripts/hotl-init-initiative.sh
    6. Claude Code plugin fallback: ~/.claude/plugins/hotl/scripts/hotl-init-initiative.sh

    Invoke the scaffolder with the slug collected in step 2:

    bash
    bash <resolved-hotl-init-initiative.sh> --name <slug>

    The scaffolder refuses cleanly when .hotl/config.yml already exists — that is the intended behavior and should not be worked around. If any of the four target outputs under docs/prompts/ already exists, it is preserved byte-for-byte and a SKIP: line is emitted.

    Only invoke the scaffolder when the user answered yes in step 2. If the user answered no (the default), skip this step entirely.

  4. Commit all generated files:

git commit -m "chore: add HOTL adapter files for [tool list]"

AGENTS.md Template Content

markdown
# AGENTS.md — HOTL Operating Model

This project follows the Human-on-the-Loop (HOTL) development model.

## How to Work

1. Before feature work: brainstorm with intent/verification/governance contracts
2. Brainstorm into a design doc in `docs/designs/`, then create a dated workflow file at `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-workflow.md`
3. Execute steps autonomously within guardrails
4. Pause at `gate: human` for high-risk steps

## Risk Levels

- **low/medium + auto_approve: true:** Execute autonomously, auto-approve gates
- **high:** Always pause for human review at gates

## Always Requires Human Review

- Auth/authz changes
- Encryption or key management
- Privacy-critical logic (PII, consent, deletion)
- Billing or financial logic
- Broad access control changes

## Workflow Format

See `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-workflow.md` for canonical workflow instances or `workflows/` in the plugin for templates.
