project-conventions

project-conventions is a skill for Claude Code from pssah4/digital-innovation-agents. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for project folders, file names, and ways of working across a codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting projects, setting up directories, applying naming conventions, and locating the canonical project specifications.
Why use it?
It gives different project tasks one shared structure and directs the agent to inspect existing code before making changes.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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 11d 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 — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project structure and conventions

This skill defines the binding standards for directory structures, file names, and ways of working. All other skills (BA, RE, Architecture, Coding, Testing, Security Audit) follow these conventions. Details live in references/; load a reference file only when the task touches its area.

Codebase-awareness (core principle)

All skills operate in the context of the existing codebase, never in a vacuum. Read references/codebase-awareness.md for the complete rules. Summary: before any work, read existing code, recognize patterns, understand dependencies, check reference implementations. The project's CLAUDE.md takes PRECEDENCE over generic skill instructions.

Index. Full detail: references/canonical-specs.md. Phase skills and templates never restate these specs; they link here.

  1. Reader budget. Every artifact scannable in under two minutes, enforced as per-artifact line caps in the single source references/artifact-caps.json (read at runtime by /consistency-check; never mirror the values). Exceeding a cap needs a one-line ## Reasoned exception block at the top of the file, added only with justification, never routinely. ARCHITECTURE-MAP, MODULE-README, JSDOC-HEADER and RULES-* carry their caps in their template comments.
  2. Frontmatter spec. Identity and relations only; status, phase, author, claim are forbidden (N-15). Empty refs are omitted, never stubbed. Full key list in the reference.
  3. Backlog vocabulary. Binding column order, GitHub-aligned status values, phase tags <id>/<phase>-done, DIA commit trailers (DIA-Phase, DIA-Handoff, DIA-Triage), ID schema, Claim and Refs column formats. Full vocabulary in the reference.
  4. Writing style. Zero em/en dashes, no AI vocabulary, active voice, sentence case in headings. Blacklist and pre-save scan: references/writing-style.md (single home, also used by /humanizer).
  5. Activation Path format. Fixed ## Activation Path section in every FEATURE spec, parsed by N-18. Exact format in the reference.
  6. Priority / Effort legend. P0-P3 and XS-XL definitions in the reference. XL at FEAT scope means: split first.
  7. Three-layer model. Wayfinder / rule sets / backlog / detail artifacts with binding boundaries, the ADR abstraction rule (A-1) and the ADR/FEATURE/PLAN separation: references/three-layer-model.md.
  8. Section policy. Sections are emitted only when they carry decision content; optional sections live in template comments, not as TBD placeholders.

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.
