write-convention

write-convention is a skill for Claude Code from cpliakas/claude-code-engineering-leaders. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A convention-writing router that sends a new coding convention to one of five areas: implementation, infrastructure, quality, user experience, or architecture. A convention is a documented rule for how a project should be built or maintained.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to author a convention with a domain flag or domain name, such as a rule about testing, deployment, interface design, or system structure. If no domain is given, it uses tactical implementation.
Why use it?
It keeps new rules associated with the right part of the project and provides a consistent way to choose that area.

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

write-convention 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 1mo 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.

Write Convention

Route convention authorship to the declared domain owner for the convention described in $ARGUMENTS.

Step 1 — Parse Arguments

Extract two pieces of information from $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Domain — accept either:

    • Flag form: --domain=<value> anywhere in the argument string.
    • Positional form: a bare word appearing before the convention name that exactly matches one of the five valid domain strings (tactical-implementation, infrastructure, quality, ux, architecture).
    • If neither form is present, default to tactical-implementation.
  2. Convention name — everything in $ARGUMENTS that is not the domain flag or the positional domain token.

If $ARGUMENTS is empty (no convention name), ask the user to provide a convention name before proceeding.

Step 2 — Validate Domain

Check the extracted domain against the fixed vocabulary:

  • tactical-implementation
  • infrastructure
  • quality
  • ux
  • architecture

If the value is not one of these five strings, emit the following message:

"<value>" is not a recognized convention domain. Valid domains are: tactical-implementation, infrastructure, quality, ux, architecture.

Which domain should this convention belong to?

Prompt the user for a valid domain. Do not proceed until a valid domain is supplied.

Step 3 — Resolve Owner Agent

Map the validated domain to its owner agent:

Domain Owner Agent
tactical-implementation tech-lead
infrastructure devops-lead
quality qa-lead
ux ux-strategist
architecture chief-architect

Step 4 — Read Conventions Directory Path

Read the Tech Lead's memory at .claude/agent-memory/engineering-leaders-tech-lead/MEMORY.md.

Look for a Conventions Directory path (typically listed under a ## Conventions Directory section or ## Project File References section).

If no conventions directory path is configured, emit the following error and stop:
