setup — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited setup (Agent Skill) and scored it 74/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 3 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.The text {match} is the classic direct prompt-injection phrasing. Placed in a skill body that the agent reads as trusted instructions, it tries to make the agent abandon its prior rules and follow whatever comes next — a full system-prompt override.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.

Setting up ADR Kit is one deterministic act (spec R19) with four modes. An empty $ARGUMENTS runs the default register mode below. A mode name routes to the procedure that owns it -- follow that skill file and nothing else; each is a mode of this entry point, not a separate product:
$ARGUMENTS | Mode | Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| (empty) | register -- write the managed guidance layout | this file, below |
adopt | audit the codebase and propose ADRs, then register | skills/init/SKILL.md (/adr-kit:init) |
hooks | install or remove the pre-commit gate only | skills/install-hooks/SKILL.md (/adr-kit:install-hooks) |
upgrade | refresh copied artifacts, migrate a v0.11 footprint | skills/upgrade/SKILL.md (/adr-kit:upgrade) |
Reject any other argument instead of guessing a mode.
You are running the one-time project setup for the adr-kit plugin (register mode). Your job is to:
scripts/setup-project.py, which owns every file in it.This is the lightweight counterpart to /adr-kit:init. Use setup when the user has an existing project, already understands their architecture, and just wants the kit registered. Use init when the user wants the kit to also audit the codebase and propose ADRs.
A project that ran v0.11 /adr-kit:setup has an inline ## ADR Kit Rules section in CLAUDE.md. This skill detects that footprint and leaves it untouched — telling the user to run /adr-kit:upgrade to migrate to the v0.12 marker-bracketed stub + external guide layout. Do not silently rewrite a v0.11 footprint. The upgrade skill exists for that explicit migration.
ADR_KIT="${ADR_KIT_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}"
[ -n "$ADR_KIT" ] || { echo "adr-kit: plugin root not found; set ADR_KIT_ROOT, or update or reinstall the plugin" >&2; exit 1; }If empty, abort: the plugin install is broken; tell the user to reinstall via /plugin install adr-kit@rvdbreemen-adr-kit.
CLAUDE.md if it exists. If itcarries an inline ## ADR Kit Rules section, stop and tell the user: Detected v0.11 ADR Kit Rules section in CLAUDE.md at line <N>. Run /adr-kit:upgrade to migrate. /adr-kit:setup is leaving the v0.11 footprint untouched. Exit without changes. A v0.11 footprint requires an explicit migration; this command never performs one silently.
scripts/setup-project.py owns the layout, and it is the only thing that knows all of it: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md and .adr-kit/ADR-guide.md. Prose in this skill describing an older layout is how the three clients drifted apart in the first place -- Codex and Copilot delegated here while this file still wrote a guide under .claude/ and a stub block that scripts/project_setup.py classifies as legacy.
Preview first, then apply:
python3 "$ADR_KIT/scripts/setup-project.py" --client claude-code-cli --project-root . --dry-run
python3 "$ADR_KIT/scripts/setup-project.py" --client claude-code-cli --project-root .The command is idempotent: re-running it on a current project changes nothing. It writes only inside its managed markers, so user content around them stays byte-exact, and it never touches .adr-kit/ADR-guide.local.md.
--client also accepts codex-cli and github-copilot-cli, and --clients takes a comma-separated list when a project uses more than one.
and say plainly when there was nothing to do -- a no-op is the expected outcome of a second run, not a failure.
/adr-kit:upgrade. Leave v0.11 alone here.--dry-run before applying; the writer reads every file it touches.If pwd lacks all of CLAUDE.md, .git/, and a recognisable project manifest (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, platformio.ini, etc.), stop and ask: I do not see a project root here (no CLAUDE.md, no .git, no manifest). Confirm you want to set up adr-kit in <pwd>? Do not silently create files in unexpected locations.
/adr-kit:setup adopt (alias /adr-kit:init) — full bootstrap including audit and hook installation./adr-kit:setup upgrade (alias /adr-kit:upgrade) — migrate v0.11 → v0.12 footprint without re-auditing./adr-kit:setup hooks (alias /adr-kit:install-hooks) — install the pre-commit hook independently.Every lifecycle command writes a Status History entry naming who decided, and it refuses to sign on the user's behalf. That refusal is right, and it should not be the user's first experience of the tool.
python3 "$ADR_KIT/bin/adr" signer --suggest --adr-dir docs/adrRead-only: it finds candidates and writes nothing. It looks at the signed-in GitHub account (gh api user, when the CLI is available) and at git config user.name, ranks them, and shows each with its source — a proposal the user cannot trace is one they cannot judge, and this value lands in an immutable history.

usable. Ask for the name outright rather than guessing.
Bot and CI identities are deliberately not offered. github-actions[bot], runner, a bare user: those are configured values that name a machine, and R8 asks for evidence of which human accepted a decision.
The value is machine-local by design (docs/adr/.adr-kit.local.json, gitignored) because writing one person's name into the tracked config would sign every teammate's acceptances. Each machine, container and CI runner needs its own.
