One-click initialization of a multi-agent repository from the RepoBrain template.

What it does

Agent Repo Init is an agent skill from study8677/repobrain. One-click initialization of a multi-agent repository from the RepoBrain template. Use this skill when users want to scaffold a new project quickly (quick mode) or with runtime defaults (full mode) including MCP toggle, swarm preference context, sandbox type, and optional git init. LLM configuration is handled later by rb-setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/init_project.py`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol and Git. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 RepoBrain (formerly Antigravity) — Give your repo a brain. ChatGPT for your codebase: works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf & more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users want to scaffold a new project quickly (quick mode)
  • With runtime defaults (full mode) including MCP toggle
  • Swarm preference context
  • Optional git init

Example prompts

  • “/agent-repo-init”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1fcd1da. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • 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

Agent Repo Init loads about 404 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~404

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:12
    l`: `quick` plus runtime profile setup (`.env`, mission, context profile, init report) and optional `git init`.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
One-click initialization of a multi-agent repository from the RepoBrain template. Use this skill when users want to scaffold a new project quickly (`quick` mode) or with runtime defaults (`full` mode) including MCP toggle, swarm preference context, sandbox type, and optional git init. LLM configuration is handled later by rb-setup.

Agent Repo Init

Initialize a new project from this repository template with two modes.

Modes

  • quick: Fast scaffold with clean copy and minimal setup.
  • full: quick plus runtime profile setup (.env, mission, context profile, init report) and optional git init.

Run via Script

Use the portable script in this skill directory:

bash
python skills/agent-repo-init/scripts/init_project.py \
  --project-name my-agent \
  --destination-root /absolute/path \
  --mode quick

Full mode example:

bash
python skills/agent-repo-init/scripts/init_project.py \
  --project-name my-agent \
  --destination-root /absolute/path \
  --mode full \
  --enable-mcp \
  --disable-swarm \
  --sandbox-runtime microsandbox \
  --init-git

Expected Output

  • New project at <destination_root>/<project_name>
  • Clean copy without local runtime state
  • Initialization report at artifacts/logs/agent_repo_init_report.md
  • Script is self-contained and does not import project src/ modules

Notes

  • Keep destination outside the current template repository.
  • For full mode, review .context/agent_runtime_profile.md after generation.
  • Run /rb-setup in the generated project to choose and write the LLM endpoint.
