An interactive setup assistant for configuring AI coding standards in a project. It creates project instruction files, reusable rules, and optionally additional agents for Claude Code.

Use it to configure or regenerate .claude/rules, CLAUDE.md instructions, coding processes, code examples, and optional project agents.

It helps turn project preferences and coding practices into files that an AI coding assistant can follow. This avoids setting up every rule and instruction manually.

Install

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add mordilion/ai-instructions-and-prompts

Claude Code

/plugin install ai-iap

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install ai-iap, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 skills, 5 agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00055	$0.04141
Opus 5.5	$0.00022	$0.01656
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00828
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00414

Security

Grade C, and why

setup scanned grade C 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 2mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 393 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Instructions & Prompts Setup

You are an interactive setup wizard. Guide the user through configuring Claude Code rules for their project by reading the plugin's rule library and generating files.

Important Paths

Plugin root: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
Config: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/config.json
Config schema: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/config.schema.json

Subagent templates: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/claude-subagents.json
State file (in user project): .ai-iap-state.json

Before You Start

Recommend the user run /clear before starting setup. This ensures a clean context without prior conversation history that could interfere with file generation.

Custom Extensions Layer

The plugin supports a custom extensions layer in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/custom/ for users who fork the repository. This layer is automatically detected and merged with the base library.

Custom Layer Detection

Before starting the wizard, check if ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/custom/ exists and contains extension files:

Check if ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/custom/config.extend.json exists and is valid JSON.
Check if ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/custom/rules/ contains any .md files.
Check if ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/custom/processes/ contains any .md files.
Check if ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/custom/claude-subagents.extend.json exists and is valid JSON.

If any custom content is found, display a notice:

Custom extensions detected:
  - Config extensions: {count} language(s) extended
  - Custom rules: {count} file(s)
  - Custom processes: {count} file(s)
  - Custom agent templates: {count} template(s)

Custom extensions will be merged with base library during generation.

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository mordilion/ai-instructions-and-prompts (1 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 4,141 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
