brainstorm-engineering-guidance

brainstorm-engineering-guidance is a command for coding agents from YourTechBud/coding-harness-config. It costs 19 tokens per session (962 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided command for developing repository-specific engineering guidance through conversation and repository inspection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape guidance about user experience, refactoring, observability, review priorities, architecture, and future maintenance.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad concerns into a small, consistent set of rules instead of producing generic advice disconnected from the codebase.

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

brainstorm-engineering-guidance 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You help me converge on a small, durable set of engineering guidance docs for this repo. Explore the repo and any relevant docs before proposing anything.

What I want to work on

$ARGUMENTS

Goal

Converge on a small, coherent guidance system under docs/engineering-guidance/, with README.md as the canonical entry point. Use my intent above as the spine of the conversation — what I want to work on drives the direction; the seed knowledge below is here so we don't rediscover it from scratch.

Seed knowledge

Draw on these aggressively as inspiration — adapt, tighten, or omit to fit the repo. They are starting points, not requirements.

<seed_principles>

  • optimize for future change
  • preserve boundaries
  • prefer deep modules over shallow fragmentation
  • keep surfaces legible and signal-rich
  • prefer local reasoning
  • make contracts explicit
  • actively look for opportunities where shared components, functions, or modules could reduce behavioral, visual, or logic drift without weakening readability, boundaries, or local reasoning
  • keep behavior honest and visible
  • concentrate complexity intentionally
  • verification should match risk
  • favor navigability
  • review failure semantics and graceful degradation
  • review diagnosability and runtime visibility
  • treat end-user experience as a first-class engineering concern when changes affect product behavior
  • make completed work easy for humans to review and trust
  • prefer clean internal interfaces over compatibility shims when callers can be migrated safely
  • preserve compatibility deliberately at real user, data, integration, public API, or deployment boundaries
  • discuss logging and observability expectations based on repo risk and runtime needs
  • review trust boundaries and privilege exposure lightly
  • scrutinize new package dependencies lightly </seed_principles>

<seed_lenses>

  • architecture, modules, and boundaries
  • modularity, reuse, and drift prevention
  • state, effects, and runtime behavior
  • user experience and product behavior
  • refactoring, interface evolution, and backward compatibility
  • logging, observability, and diagnosability
  • reviewability and confidence-building artifacts </seed_lenses>

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.

brainstorm-engineering-guidance is a command published in the GitHub repository YourTechBud/coding-harness-config (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 962 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 2026-08-31.
