Install Init Project

skills CLI
$ npx skills add microbus-io/fabric --skill init-project -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install microbus-io/fabric init-project --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/microbus-io/fabric.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.claude/skills/microbus/init-project .claude/skills/init-project && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

TRIGGER when user asks to initialize, set up, or bootstrap a Microbus project.

  • Works in 5 steps: Check if a Microbus Project → Download Agent Rules and Skills → Scaffold the Project → …
  • User asks to initialize
  • Calls go
  • Bootstrap a Microbus project

What it does

Init Project is an agent skill from microbus-io/fabric. TRIGGER when user asks to initialize, set up, or bootstrap a Microbus project. Scaffolds main/main.go, config files, agent files, .gitignore, VS Code launch config, Claude Code permissions, and the token-signing key.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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, covering Project scaffolding. It works with Visual Studio Code and Go. The repository describes itself as: Microbus is the only fabric where every agentic workflow runs on a true microservice substrate - giving your workflows security, scale, observability, and prompt-driven authoring. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks to initialize
  • Bootstrap a Microbus project

Example prompts

  • “/init-project”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check if a Microbus Project
  2. Download Agent Rules and Skills
  3. Scaffold the Project
  4. Verify the Build
  5. Offer the Tour

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb98098. 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:

    • go

    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 Project loads about 664 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~664

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
TRIGGER when user asks to initialize, set up, or bootstrap a Microbus project. Scaffolds main/main.go, config files, agent files, .gitignore, VS Code launch config, Claude Code permissions, and the token-signing key.

CRITICAL: Do NOT explore or analyze the project unless explicitly instructed to do so. The instructions in this skill are self-contained.

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

Initialize a project to use Microbus:
- [ ] Step 1: Check if a Microbus project
- [ ] Step 2: Download agent rules and skills
- [ ] Step 3: Scaffold the project
- [ ] Step 4: Verify the build
- [ ] Step 5: Offer the tour
Step 1: Check if a Microbus Project

If go.mod does not exist in the project directory, this is not a Go project. Exit this workflow.

If go.mod does not include a reference to github.com/microbus-io/fabric, this is not a Microbus project. Exit this workflow.

Note whether main/main.go already exists. If it does not, this is a new install - remember this for Step 5.

Step 2: Download Agent Rules and Skills

Copy the agent rules and skills from the pinned Microbus version already in the Go module cache. This is version-matched to go.mod and needs no network access. The module cache is read-only, so make the copies writable.

shell
src="$(go list -m -f '{{.Dir}}' github.com/microbus-io/fabric)"
mkdir -p .claude
cp -R "$src/.claude/rules" "$src/.claude/skills" .claude/
chmod -R u+w .claude/rules .claude/skills
Step 3: Scaffold the Project

Run geninit to scaffold the project. It is idempotent: it creates main/main.go, main/env.yaml, CLAUDE.md, config.yaml, config.local.yaml, env.yaml, env.local.yaml, .gitignore, .vscode/launch.json, and .claude/settings.json, and generates a fresh Ed25519 token-signing key for bearer.token.core in config.local.yaml. Existing files are left intact.

shell
go run github.com/microbus-io/fabric/cmd/geninit

.claude/settings.json auto-approves the Bash commands invoked by the housekeeping and regenerate-boilerplate skills, so an agent following them is not prompted for each invocation. The file is project-shared and should be checked into git.

Step 4: Verify the Build

Confirm the scaffolded project compiles.

shell
go vet ./main/...
Step 5: Offer the Tour

If this is a new install (from Step 1), tell the user the project is ready and offer to take the agent-guided tour, which runs the bundled example microservices. If they accept, follow the take-tour skill. If this is not a new install, skip this step.
