mstar-conventions

mstar-conventions is a skill for Claude Code from btspoony/mstar-harness. It costs 237 tokens per session (5,082 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Morning Star project folders, plan files, documentation boundaries, and Git branches. It explains where plans, specifications, iterations, knowledge, and project files belong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when discovering or creating the Morning Star directory structure, initializing plans, storing review materials, or defining branches for specification-driven work.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion about which directory is authoritative and how work should be organized when there are multiple plans or no active plan.

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

mstar-conventions 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 11d 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.

Load order(必读顺序)

首次 Read 本 skill 前:必须先 Read mstar-harness-core(SKILL.md)。 本 skill 只约定 目录与路径;不突破状态机与门禁。冲突时 mstar-harness-core 为准

你还可能要 Read 何时
mstar-artifacts 主 plan、review bundle 摘要、status.json、residual、InReview/QC 波次、knowledge
mstar-project-governance projects/<id>/roadmap.md 编写约定 + residuals.json register 生命周期、_default 回退
mstar-branch-worktree Assignment 写分支 / worktree / QC 检出
mstar-review-qc 派 QC(PM 同轮必读;SDD 强制 tri)
mstar-sdd PM 执行 Execution mode: sdd 的 implement 波次

Workflow

主链:按「路径符号」+「{HARNESS_DIR} 解析顺序」确定目录(默认 .mstar/,兼容 .agents/)→ 按「初始化 Plan 目录」建 plans/ / status.json 并追加 gitignore 进程产物集(进程本地、结果共享)→ 多 Plan · 同一 Spec 时按「Spec 驱动的分支模型」登记 iteration base / spec 集成分支 / 各 Plan 实现分支 / PR target → 主 plan 写入 {PLAN_DIR}Plan-Writing Path Gate,不引入外部默认 plan 目录)。未启用 plan 时 → 对话追踪,门禁(QC/QA)照常。

路径符号(SSOT)

符号 默认
{HARNESS_DIR} .mstar/
{PLAN_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/plans/
{SDD_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/sdd/<plan-id>/(SDD 运行时 scratch + review bundle;gitignored)
{ITERATION_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/iterations/
{KNOWLEDGE_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/knowledge/(默认;.mstarc knowledge_dir 声明时用声明值)
{SPECS_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/specs/(默认);解析见下文「{SPECS_DIR} 解析」
{WORKFLOW_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/workflows/(默认;.mstarc workflow_dir 声明时用声明值)——v3 每 lifecycle 一个 workflows/<id>/snapshot.json + notes.jsonl
{PROJECT_DIR} {HARNESS_DIR}/projects/(默认;.mstarc project_dir 声明时用声明值)——v3 项目层 projects/<id>/roadmap.md + residuals.json

Engine check (when available): import resolveHarnessDir / resolvePlanDir / resolveSddDir / resolveIterationDir / resolveKnowledgeDir / resolveSpecsDir / resolveWorkflowDir / resolveProjectDir from @mstar-harness/engine in a host hook — or run mstar path resolve [path] (--json for machine output) to print the resolved dirs — to confirm the resolution below. On fail -> do not proceed; fix and re-run. Skill text below remains authoritative when the runtime is absent.

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.
