Claude Code Guide

Claude Code Guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davila7/claude-code-templates. It costs 35 tokens per session (477 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A reference guide for using Claude Code, a coding agent, more effectively. It covers project instructions, prompting, debugging, and common development workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a CLAUDE.md project guide, writing prompts, debugging agent behaviour, and organizing development commands and checks.
Why use it?
It gives developers practical guidance when the agent lacks project context or produces unexpected results. It also suggests a standard way to describe commands, coding style, and verification steps.

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 B, and why

Claude Code Guide scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

1. **Clear Context**: Start a new session or ask the agent to "forget previous instructions" if confused.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

What it actually says

Claude Code Guide

Purpose

To provide a comprehensive reference for configuring and using Claude Code (the agentic coding tool) to its full potential. This skill synthesizes best practices, configuration templates, and advanced usage patterns.

Configuration (CLAUDE.md)

When starting a new project, create a CLAUDE.md file in the root directory to guide the agent.

Template (General)

# Project Guidelines

## Commands

- Run app: `npm run dev`
- Test: `npm test`
- Build: `npm run build`

## Code Style

- Use TypeScript for all new code.
- Functional components with Hooks for React.
- Tailwind CSS for styling.
- Early returns for error handling.

## Workflow

- Read `README.md` first to understand project context.
- Before editing, read the file content.
- After editing, run tests to verify.

Advanced Features

Thinking Keywords

Use these keywords in your prompts to trigger deeper reasoning from the agent:

  • "Think step-by-step"
  • "Analyze the root cause"
  • "Plan before executing"
  • "Verify your assumptions"

Debugging

If the agent is stuck or behaving unexpectedly:

  1. Clear Context: Start a new session or ask the agent to "forget previous instructions" if confused.
  2. Explicit Instructions: Be extremely specific about paths, filenames, and desired outcomes.
  3. Logs: Ask the agent to "check the logs" or "run the command with verbose output".

Best Practices

  1. Small Contexts: Don't dump the entire codebase into the context. Use grep or find to locate relevant files first.
  2. Iterative Development: Ask for small changes, verify, then proceed.
  3. Feedback Loop: If the agent makes a mistake, correct it immediately and ask it to "add a lesson" to its memory (if supported) or CLAUDE.md.

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.

Claude Code Guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository davila7/claude-code-templates (30,513 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 477 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (instruction-override phrasing). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
