blueprint-rules is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule manager for markdown instruction files that guide an AI coding assistant. Rules can apply to the whole project, a user’s projects, or only matching file paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, list, validate, and synchronize rules stored in .claude/rules/ with the main project instructions file.
Why use it?
It keeps project instructions organized and ensures relevant guidance is loaded for the files being edited.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

blueprint-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 21d 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 — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage modular rules for the project. Rules are markdown files in .claude/rules/ that provide context-specific instructions to Claude.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use alternative when...
Need to create/edit modular rules in .claude/rules/ Use /blueprint:claude-md for single-file project instructions
Want to list all project and user-level rules Use /blueprint:generate-rules to auto-generate from PRDs
Need to add path-specific rules for certain file types Just need to view CLAUDE.md structure
Managing user-level rules (~/.claude/rules/) Need to sync rules with existing CLAUDE.md

Rules Hierarchy (precedence low → high)

Level Location Scope
User-level ~/.claude/rules/*.md Personal rules across all projects
Project rules .claude/rules/*.md (no paths) All files in this project
Path-specific rules .claude/rules/*.md (with paths) Only matched files

Project rules override user-level rules. Path-specific rules load conditionally when working on matching files.

Steps:

  1. Check blueprint status:

    • Read docs/blueprint/manifest.json
    • Check if modular rules are enabled
    • If not enabled, offer to enable:
      Use AskUserQuestion:
      question: "Modular rules are not enabled. Would you like to enable them?"
      options:
        - "Yes, create .claude/rules/ structure" → enable and continue
        - "No, use single CLAUDE.md" → exit
      
  2. Determine action (use AskUserQuestion):

    question: "What would you like to do with modular rules?"
    options:
      - "List existing rules" → show project and user-level rules
      - "Add a new rule" → create new rule file
      - "Edit existing rule" → modify rule
      - "Generate rules from PRDs" → auto-generate from requirements
      - "Manage user-level rules" → personal rules in ~/.claude/rules/
      - "Sync rules with CLAUDE.md" → bidirectional sync
      - "Validate rules" → check for issues

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.
