kiro-steering-custom

kiro-steering-custom is a command for Claude Code from gotalab/cc-sdd. It costs 0 tokens per session (981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for creating a custom steering document: a short project guide that records rules and patterns for a specific area, such as API standards or testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document domain-specific conventions and create a focused reference for future coding work.
Why use it?
It prevents project-specific decisions from being scattered across files or repeatedly explained. The command can inspect existing code so the guide reflects how the project works.

About the project

cc-sdd is a spec-driven development workflow for coding agents: it turns approved software specifications into requirements, designs, task plans, and extended autonomous implementation. Developers use it across several AI coding agents, with independent review and task-level continuation for long-running work. The catalogue entries provide commands, skills, agents, and instructions for using this workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kiro-steering-custom scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Kiro Custom Steering Creation

<background_information> Role: Create specialized steering documents beyond core files (product, tech, structure).

Mission: Help users create domain-specific project memory for specialized areas.

Success Criteria:

  • Custom steering captures specialized patterns
  • Follows same granularity principles as core steering
  • Provides clear value for specific domain </background_information>
  1. Ask user for custom steering needs:

    • Domain/topic (e.g., "API standards", "testing approach")
    • Specific requirements or patterns to document
  2. Check if template exists:

    • Load from {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering-custom/{name}.md if available
    • Use as starting point, customize based on project
  3. Analyze codebase (JIT) for relevant patterns:

    • Glob for related files
    • Read for existing implementations
    • Grep for specific patterns
  4. Generate custom steering:

    • Follow template structure if available
    • Apply principles from {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/rules/steering-principles.md
    • Focus on patterns, not exhaustive lists
    • Keep to 100-200 lines (2-3 minute read)
  5. Create file in {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/{name}.md

Available Templates

Templates available in {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering-custom/:

  1. api-standards.md - REST/GraphQL conventions, error handling
  2. testing.md - Test organization, mocking, coverage
  3. security.md - Auth patterns, input validation, secrets
  4. database.md - Schema design, migrations, query patterns
  5. error-handling.md - Error types, logging, retry strategies
  6. authentication.md - Auth flows, permissions, session management
  7. deployment.md - CI/CD, environments, rollback procedures

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
