agents-evolution: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/engineering-principles/SKILL.md

engineering-principles is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kissrosecicd-hub/agents-evolution. It costs 139 tokens per session (3,160 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of practical guidelines for writing, refactoring, reviewing, and designing software. It explains when to use SOLID design principles and the KISS, DRY, and YAGNI rules while keeping code simple.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning software structure, implementing features, simplifying code, refactoring, and reviewing changes for unnecessary duplication or complexity.
Why use it?
It helps prevent both tangled code and unnecessary abstractions. The guidance gives developers a way to balance maintainability with the simplest solution that works.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is kissrosecicd-hub/agents-evolution's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on agents-evolution itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agents-evolution configures →

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

engineering-principles 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.

Engineering Principles — Pragmatic Balance

Priority (when in conflict)

  1. Работает → решает задачу пользователя
  2. Просто (KISS) → простейшее рабочее решение, можно понять и поддерживать
  3. Не усложняй заранее (YAGNI) → сначала работающий простой код, не усложнять заранее
  4. Убери настоящий дубль (DRY) → только когда реально нужно (3+ места), настоящая одинаковая логика
  5. SOLID → когда система уже растёт; маленький скрипт ≠ нужна абстракция

Что даёт каждый принцип (цель, не догма)

Принцип Зачем Стоп-сигнал
SRP — одна ответственность Меняешь одно → не ломает другое Функция > 40 строк или 3+ причин менять → раздели
OCP — расширяй, не меняй Новая фича → старое работает Не создавай абстракции "на будущее" (см. YAGNI)
LSP — замена без сюрпризов Подставил реализацию → работает instanceof, if type → плохой дизайн, переделай
ISP — минимум зависимостей Не тяни лишнее Интерфейс > 5 методов → разбей
DIP — завись от абстракций Меняешь деталь → бизнес-логика не знает Не абстрагируй то что не будет меняться
KISS — простота Код понятен с первого чтения if/else на 3 ветки ≠ нужна фабрика
DRY — без дублирования Баг в одном месте → починил везде Похожий код, разная логика → НЕ трогай
YAGNI — фокус Не тратишь время на ненужное "Конфиг на будущее", "generic для всего" → стоп

Product-first Checks

Перед финальной реализацией спроси:

  1. Какую видимую пользователю проблему это решает?
  2. Как пользователь поймёт что это сработало?
  3. Что сломается если входные данные, сеть, зависимость или данные — плохие?
  4. Можно ли это наблюдать, тестировать, откатить, объяснить?
  5. Это простейший код который оставляет будущие изменения продукта дешёвыми?

Product Engineering Priorities

  1. Correct user outcome — правильный результат для пользователя
  2. Clear surfaced behavior — ясные API/UI/контракты/ошибки
  3. Safe changeability — безопасно менять
  4. Operational visibility — можно наблюдать и дебажить
  5. Code elegance — красота кода (последний приоритет)

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.

engineering-principles is a skill published in the GitHub repository kissrosecicd-hub/agents-evolution (31 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 139 tokens to every session and 3,160 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
