rendertrust: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/pattern-discovery/SKILL.md

pattern-discovery is a skill for Claude Code from bybren-llc/rendertrust. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pattern-discovery skill that checks the project's reusable pattern library before new code is written. It applies to features, user-interface components, API routes, database operations, and integration tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing a feature or asking how to build one, especially when adding routes, components, database operations, or tests.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicated code and prevents new work from ignoring solutions the project already uses. Checking first also keeps new changes consistent with existing conventions.

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

pattern-discovery 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 yesterday.

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 — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pattern Discovery Skill

Purpose

Enforce pattern-first development by checking the Pattern library before implementing new functionality. This reduces code duplication, ensures consistency, and leverages battle-tested solutions.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • About to create a new API route
  • About to create a new UI component
  • About to add database operations
  • About to write integration tests
  • User asks "how do I implement..." or "how should I build..."
  • Starting work on any feature implementation

Pattern Discovery Protocol

ALWAYS follow this sequence before writing new code:

Step 1: Check Pattern Library

Search patterns_library/ for existing patterns:

# Find patterns by category
ls patterns_library/api/      # API route patterns
ls patterns_library/ui/       # UI component patterns
ls patterns_library/database/ # Database operation patterns
ls patterns_library/testing/  # Testing patterns

Step 2: Review Pattern Index

Check patterns_library/README.md for the complete pattern index:

Category Patterns Available
API User Context, Admin Context, Webhook Handler, Zod Validation, Bonus Content
UI Authenticated Page, Form with Validation, Data Table, Marketing Page
Database RLS Migration, Prisma Transaction, Server Component Access
Testing API Integration Test, E2E User Flow
Security Input Sanitization, Rate Limiting, Secrets Management
CI GitHub Actions Workflow, Deployment Pipeline
Config Environment Config, Structured Logging

Step 3: Apply or Escalate

If pattern exists:

  1. Read the pattern file
  2. Copy the code pattern
  3. Follow the customization guide
  4. Run validation commands

Changes

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.
