coding-standards

coding-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ithinkihaveacat/dotfiles. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,113 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository guide for coding style, formatting, linting, command-line design, HTTP caching, and Git commit conventions. Linters check code for likely problems, while formatters apply consistent layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing, reviewing, formatting, or checking code, and when preparing conventional commit messages or synchronizing generated command help.
Why use it?
It keeps changes consistent with the repository and catches style or quality issues before review. The included scripts cover Python, shell, Markdown, Kotlin, JSON, and XML.

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

coding-standards 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 15d 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.

Coding Standards

This skill provides coding guidelines, linters, and formatters for making changes across languages and domains in this repository.

Formatting Scripts

Helper scripts in scripts/ encapsulate repository-wide style rules and lint checks. References to scripts/... are relative to this skill directory. All scripts support formatting multiple files in place, or reading from stdin and writing to stdout when no arguments are provided.

  • scripts/python-format: Format and lint Python files using ruff (supports --check and recursive directory scanning).
  • scripts/shell-format: Format and lint shell scripts (POSIX/Bash) using shfmt and shellcheck (supports --check and recursive directory scanning; Fish scripts use fish_indent).
  • scripts/markdown-format: Format Markdown files using mdformat with GFM and frontmatter preservation (supports --check for drift detection).
  • scripts/command-index-format: Refresh generated --help blocks in command-index.md files (marker comments; supports --check and --all).
  • scripts/kotlin-format: Format Kotlin files using ktfmt with kotlinlang style.
  • scripts/json-format: Format JSON files using jq.
  • scripts/xml-format: Format XML files using xmllint.

Always prefer the helper scripts in scripts/ over raw tool invocations to guarantee consistent repository formatting rules.

Core Standards & Guidelines

Markdown Quality

All Markdown files must be formatted and linted with scripts/markdown-format. Headings must use clean, unadorned ATX styles (## Heading) without numbers, manual bolding, or ALL CAPS. See references/markdown.md.

Python Development

All Python files must be linted and formatted with scripts/python-format. Follow type annotation conventions, structured CLI argument parsing with argparse, and error handling standards. See references/python.md.

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.
