follow-our-standards

follow-our-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review aid that checks work against the engineering rules and conventions of the project using references to those rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing code, documentation, or other project work for standards compliance.
Why use it?
It helps find changes that do not match the project's agreed way of working.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the discipline plugin — 16 skills shipped together

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

follow-our-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 yesterday.

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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Follow our standards

A drift corrector for alignment to the consuming organization's engineering standards. The method, re-anchor, audit the work in flight, correct forward, report, and the tone that firing this is not an accusation, lives in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md. Read it; this file adds only what is specific to standards discipline.

Resolve the standards source

The authority is the consuming organization's own conventions; never work from recall of them. Resolve a readable copy per the method doc's ladder:

  1. The consuming project declares its standards source. When the repo's own CLAUDE.md / .claude/rules/ names where the conventions live, a shared standards repository, a docs tree, a conventions directory. Resolve and read THAT. A local checkout is preferable to a remote fetch when one exists; a remote read (via the host's CLI or web tree) is the fallback.
  2. No external source declared → the repo's own conventions. Read the conventions the repo carries itself. Its CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules/, CONTRIBUTING, docs, and re-anchor those.
  3. Nothing declared anywhere → the portable baseline below.

State which source resolved so the citations are traceable.

Loading. Relevance-routed progressive disclosure

Do not load the whole convention set. Route through its own index. A top-level README or agent-instruction file, and pull only what the work in flight needs. Discover the applicable docs through that front door rather than hardcoding a doc map that will drift. Always re-anchor the core design principles; load a specific convention (testing, naming, error-handling, domain modelling, and the like) only when the current work touches it. When the repo you are working in declares its own design-doctrine docs, add them to the route set and load one when the work in flight is designing what that doctrine governs.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

follow-our-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (15 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,242 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
