steering-custom

A command for creating project-specific guidance documents in the .kiro/steering directory. These documents cover specialized areas beyond the standard product, technology, and structure files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create steering documents for areas such as testing, APIs, authentication, security, or other specialized project concerns.
Why use it?
It records rules and context for parts of a project that the basic guidance does not cover, so later work follows the project's conventions.

Made for: Claude Code.

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

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 2d 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

Create custom steering documents in .kiro/steering/ for specialized contexts beyond the three foundational files (product.md, tech.md, structure.md).

Current Steering Status

Existing Steering Documents

  • Core steering files: !bash -c 'ls -la .kiro/steering/*.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No steering directory found"'
  • Custom steering count: !bash -c 'if [ -d ".kiro/steering" ]; then count=0; for f in .kiro/steering/*.md; do if [ -f "$f" ] && [ "$f" != ".kiro/steering/product.md" ] && [ "$f" != ".kiro/steering/tech.md" ] && [ "$f" != ".kiro/steering/structure.md" ]; then count=$((count + 1)); fi; done; echo "$count"; else echo "0"; fi'

Project Analysis

  • Specialized areas: !bash -c 'find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o -path ./.git -prune -o -type d \( -name "test*" -o -name "spec*" -o -name "api" -o -name "auth" -o -name "security" \) -print 2>/dev/null || echo "No specialized directories found"'
  • Config patterns: !bash -c 'find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o \( -name "*.config.*" -o -name "*rc.*" -o -name ".*rc" \) -print 2>/dev/null || echo "No config files found"'

Task: Create Custom Steering Document

You will create a new custom steering document based on user requirements. Common use cases include:

Common Custom Steering Types

  1. API Standards (api-standards.md)

    • REST/GraphQL conventions
    • Error handling patterns
    • Authentication/authorization approaches
    • API versioning strategy
  2. Testing Approach (testing.md)

    • Test file organization
    • Naming conventions for tests
    • Mocking strategies
    • Coverage requirements
    • E2E vs unit vs integration testing
  3. Code Style Guidelines (code-style.md)

    • Language-specific conventions
    • Formatting rules beyond linters
    • Comment standards
    • Function/variable naming patterns
    • Code organization principles
  4. Security Policies (security.md)

    • Input validation requirements
    • Authentication patterns
    • Secrets management
    • OWASP compliance guidelines
    • Security review checklist

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.

steering-custom is a command published in the GitHub repository kbwo/ccmanager (1,229 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,422 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
