project-conventions

project-conventions is a skill for Claude Code from nasrulhazim/claude. It costs 172 tokens per session (2,445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A practice for keeping a project's CLAUDE.md file as a living record of corrections, preferences, patterns, decisions, and project-specific pitfalls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in projects with a CLAUDE.md file to record coding conventions, technology choices, naming rules, testing preferences, and discoveries during implementation.
Why use it?
It prevents the same guidance and mistakes from being repeated across later coding sessions.

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

project-conventions 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 10d 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 — 272 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Self-Update Practice

CLAUDE.md is a living document. Claude must update it immediately whenever something worth remembering is discovered — corrections, preferences, patterns, or gotchas.

The rule: A slightly redundant note is better than repeating a mistake.


When to Update CLAUDE.md

Update immediately when any of these occur:

Trigger Example
User corrects a mistake "jangan guna MySQL, kita pakai PostgreSQL"
User expresses a preference "aku tak suka pattern ni, guna cara lain"
Better pattern discovered during implementation Realising a cleaner approach mid-task
Gotcha or edge case found A library behaves unexpectedly, an assumption was wrong
Architectural decision made "kita guna UUIDs, bukan auto-increment"
Naming or style preference "method names in camelCase, not snake_case"
Tool or stack choice confirmed "pakai Pest, bukan PHPUnit"
Testing preference confirmed "pakai Pest describe blocks", "PHPStan level 8"
Deployment preference confirmed "deploy via GitHub Actions", "Docker for staging"

Do not wait until the end of the session. Update CLAUDE.md as soon as the correction or preference is identified — then continue with the task.


Update Procedure

When a trigger is detected:

  1. Apply the fix to the current task first
  2. Read the current CLAUDE.md to find the right section
  3. Insert the update in the appropriate section:
    • Preference / style → ## Preferences or relevant stack section
    • DO/DON'T → ## DO / DON'T
    • Architectural → update the relevant architecture section
    • Gotcha / edge case → add under the relevant section with > **Gotcha:** callout
  4. Do not announce every update unless the user asks — just do it silently and continue

Format Rules

Gotcha Format

> **Gotcha:** PostgreSQL `uuid-ossp` extension must be enabled before using
> `DB::raw('uuid_generate_v4()')`. Prefer letting Laravel handle UUID generation
> from PHP side via `InteractsWithUuid` trait instead.

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.
