What it does

Deepinit is an agent skill from jmstar85/oh-my-githubcopilot. Generate or refresh hierarchical repository guidance files for agents. Activate when: deepinit, repo init docs, initialize agent docs, create AGENTS guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents. The repository describes itself as: Ultimate Harness Automation for Github Copilot on VS Code. It provides 28+ specialized agents, 30+ reusable skills, hooks, guardrails, and etc. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Building AI agents

Example prompts

  • “/deepinit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Map the repository structure, languages, build/test commands, and major subsystems.
  2. Identify local conventions and hazards that future agents must know.
  3. Write or update guidance files at the narrowest useful scope.
  4. Avoid duplicating stale or generic instructions.
  5. Verify references and commands where practical.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12b2c29. 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.

    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

Deepinit loads about 254 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~254

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.

Deepinit

Use this skill to analyze a repository and create durable agent-facing guidance for future work.

Workflow

  1. Map the repository structure, languages, build/test commands, and major subsystems.
  2. Identify local conventions and hazards that future agents must know.
  3. Write or update guidance files at the narrowest useful scope.
  4. Avoid duplicating stale or generic instructions.
  5. Verify references and commands where practical.

Output

  • Files created or updated
  • Repository conventions captured
  • Commands verified
  • Areas intentionally left undocumented

Rules

  • Prefer specific, local facts over generic coding advice.
  • Do not overwrite human-authored guidance without preserving intent.
  • Keep guidance concise enough to be loaded repeatedly.
