review-rules

review-rules is a skill for Claude Code from HuntsDesk/ve-kit. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An audit of the main instruction files that guide an AI coding assistant in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review CLAUDE.md, rule files, settings, and workflow definitions after process changes or during regular maintenance.
Why use it?
It finds oversized, outdated, duplicated, or inconsistent instructions, including mismatches with automated checks. It records each finding as a task on a project board.

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

review-rules 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 6d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rules & Core Instructions Review Protocol

Reviews the always-loaded instruction layer that governs every Claude Code session in this repo. Scope:

  • CLAUDE.md (project root)
  • .claude/rules/*.md
  • .claude/settings.json hooks config (only to verify rule-hook alignment)

Part of the review-* skill family. Cites ../_shared/review-checklist.md and ../_shared/anthropic-configuration-guide.md.

Owner: docs-manager agent.

When to invoke

  • CLAUDE.md approaching 150 lines (lean limit) or > 200 lines
  • After significant process changes (new hooks, new RIPER modes, new deployment patterns)
  • Quarterly audit
  • When new team members or agents repeatedly make mistakes the rules should prevent

Output contract

Board tasks only. Lean summary to main agent.


Step 1 — Inventory

  • Read CLAUDE.md. Record line count, section list, referenced rules/skills/docs/agents.
  • Read every .claude/rules/*.md. Record line count, topic, referenced files.
  • Read .claude/settings.json hooks block. Record which hooks exist and what they enforce.

Step 2 — Size discipline

Artifact Target Hard limit
CLAUDE.md < 150 lines 200 lines
Individual rule < 200 lines 300 lines

Flag bloat. Recommend:

  • CLAUDE.md bloat → push detail into a new rule or existing rule
  • Rule bloat → split by sub-topic or move deep reference to a skill / doc

Step 3 — Staleness

For each rule and for CLAUDE.md, check:

  • Deprecated infrastructure references (Supabase Edge Functions, old table names, retired services)
  • Domain names and URLs still current ( variants, MIG host IDs, LB IP <YOUR_LB_IP>)
  • Model IDs match current Anthropic lineup (Opus 5, Fable 5, Sonnet 5, Haiku 4.5)
  • Command references valid (Enter C -push-dev, Enter C -push, Enter C -all)
  • Stripe API version current (2026-04-22.dahlia per CLAUDE.md)
  • Referenced docs exist (every [link](path) resolves)
  • Referenced agents exist in .claude/agents/
  • Referenced skills exist in .claude/skills/

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.
