drydock

drydock is a skill for Claude Code from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 84 tokens per session (4,163 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of drydock, MIT.

A repository setup workflow that creates a shared development harness for context, rules, tools, and standards. A repository is a project's code and documentation store; this gives its contributors and coding agents a common set of guidance and working surfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a repository or standardising one, to create shared context files, coding rules, agent skills, tools, scripts, and design standards.
Why use it?
It prevents each contributor or agent from using a different understanding of the project's conventions. It also checks whether the shared setup is present and connected to the repository's workflows.

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

drydock 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 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.

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

Drydock

Lay the keel of the shipyard: one repo, one shared harness, every contributor inherits it. This skill scaffolds the environment that turns "everyone ships" into "everyone ships on the same design language" — it creates the 5 surfaces, seeds them minimally, wires them to the flows that fill them (launch writes CONTEXT/ADR; the launch C5 sediment pass and reviews sediment standards), and reports what exists, what was created, and what stays empty on purpose.

The four pillars and where they physically live:

Pillar Surfaces
Context (shared background) CONTEXT.md (glossary) + docs/business/ + docs/adr/ + OMC wiki
Rules (boundaries) CLAUDE.md (thin entry: conventions, principles, index) + docs/standards/
Tools (composable capability) .omc/skills/ + .mcp.json + scripts/
Standards (the classification society) design-system/ (tokens, components, patterns) + docs/standards/

Metaphor map: the shipyard is the shared facility; the classification society (docs/standards/ + design-system/) sets the rules a ship must pass to be seaworthy; drydock lays the keel; launch ships it.

When to Use

  • starting a repo that humans and agents will both build on
  • a repo where knowledge lives in people's heads and chat history instead of files
  • onboarding: a new teammate or agent should inherit context by reading, not by asking

When Not to Use

  • throwaway prototypes with no collaborators
  • a repo already running this harness (use --check instead)

Workflow

1. Detect (never clobber)

Inventory what exists before writing anything:

  • CLAUDE.md present? AGENTS.md present? (rule: if either exists, extend it in place; create the missing one as a one-line pointer to the other; never create both fresh)
  • CONTEXT.md, docs/adr/, docs/standards/, docs/business/, design-system/, .omc/skills/, .mcp.json, scripts/, .gitattributes — which exist, which are missing?
  • OMC installed? — only worth checking when running inside an OMC session; outside one, skip this check silently (the harness works with or without OMC)

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.
