blueprint-derive-rules

blueprint-derive-rules is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,283 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A rule-generation tool that reads Git commit history and turns repeated project decisions into Claude Code rules. These rules can cover coding style, testing, and API design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to derive rules from past commits, optionally limited by date or project area, and establish coding guidelines for an existing codebase.
Why use it?
It captures conventions that may be understood by the existing team but are not written anywhere. New AI-assisted changes can then follow the project's established patterns.

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

blueprint-derive-rules 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 9d 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.

/blueprint:derive-rules

Extract project decisions from git commit history and codify them as Claude rules. Newer commits override older decisions when conflicts exist.

Use case: Derive implicit project patterns from git history to establish consistent AI-assisted development guidelines.

Usage: /blueprint:derive-rules [--since DATE] [--scope SCOPE]

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use alternative when...
Want to extract implicit decisions from git history Creating rules from requirements (use PRDs instead)
Project has significant commit history New project with little history
Establishing project coding standards Quick manual rule creation

Context

  • Git repository: !git rev-parse --git-dir
  • Blueprint initialized: !find . -path '*/docs/blueprint/*' -maxdepth 3 -name 'manifest.json' -type f
  • Total commits: !git rev-list --count HEAD
  • Conventional commits %: !git log --format="%s"
  • Existing rules in default location: !find . -path '*/.claude/rules/*' -maxdepth 3 -name "*.md" -type f
  • Existing rules in blueprint subdir: !find . -path '*/.claude/rules/blueprint/*' -maxdepth 4 -name "*.md" -type f

Parameters

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  • --since DATE: Analyze commits from specific date (e.g., --since 2024-01-01)
  • --scope SCOPE: Focus on specific area (e.g., --scope api, --scope testing)

Execution

Execute the complete git-to-rules derivation workflow:

Step 0: Resolve the output path

Read structure.generated_rules_path from docs/blueprint/manifest.json (default .claude/rules/):

RULES_DIR=$(jq -r '.structure.generated_rules_path // ".claude/rules/"' docs/blueprint/manifest.json)
mkdir -p "$RULES_DIR"

Use $RULES_DIR for all subsequent reads/writes and conflict checks. Hand-written files in the parent .claude/rules/ are intentionally invisible to this skill (issue #1043).

Step 1: Verify prerequisites

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.
