best-practices

best-practices is a command for Claude Code from sarkarsaurabh27/agent-loop-learning. It costs 0 tokens per session (456 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for loading a reference guide about common patterns for building AI agents. An AI agent is software that uses a language model to perform tasks, often with tools or multiple workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read guidance on orchestration, prompts, memory, tools, security, testing, performance, startup, or benchmarks.
Why use it?
It puts the relevant guidance in front of you without requiring you to search through the reference documents manually.

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

best-practices 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 4d 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.

Instructions

  1. Match the user's keyword to the file(s) above.

  2. Read the matched file(s) from best-practices/ in this repo.

  3. Present the content with this structure:

    • Key benchmarks — pull the "Benchmarks at a Glance" table from the doc
    • Core principles — 3–5 bullet summary of the must-know rules
    • Full document — the complete doc content
    • How to apply — 2–3 questions the user should ask themselves about their own agent
  4. If the user asks to apply this to their agent, switch to /review-agent or /improve-agent mode.

  5. If no keyword is provided, show the full index from best-practices/README.md and ask which topic they want.

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.
