rpa-init

Project onboarding

Purpose

Warm up context on a repository: study code, read documentation and test code, set up the dev environment the project expects, run tests, write a short report about the project. No extra brief from the user is required.

When to use

• User runs /rpa-init or asks to onboard / understand a codebase.

What the agent does

1. Read layout, docs, and tests.
2. Install or configure dev tooling (venv, deps, documented bootstrap).
3. Run the test suite.
4. Summarize purpose, behavior implied by tests, gaps, and next steps.

Install

This skill is distributed through the rpa-skills catalog (a Claude Code plugin marketplace), and also installs as a plain skill folder (Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Kimi Code CLI, and others).

As a plugin (Claude Code) — add the catalog once, then install this skill from it:

/plugin marketplace add EvilFreelancer/rpa-skills
/plugin install rpa-init@rpa-skills

As a plain skill folder — copy or symlink this repository into a skill root (its SKILL.md lives at the repo root):

Tool	Path
Claude Code	~/.claude/skills/rpa-init/
Cursor	~/.cursor/skills/rpa-init/
OpenAI Codex	~/.codex/skills/rpa-init/
Kimi Code CLI	~/.kimi/skills/rpa-init/

The directory name must match the name field in SKILL.md.

How to invoke

• Slash command — type /rpa-init in agent chat.
• @ context — attach the skill folder or SKILL.md to ground the message in these instructions.
• Automatic — the agent may load the skill on its own when your request matches the description in SKILL.md.
