create-code-pattern-memory

A workflow for saving a repeatable coding pattern as project memory. It requires clear evidence that the pattern is reused or formally standardised, rather than treating a one-off implementation as a convention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Documenting coding conventions that appear in multiple places or are explicitly intended to be repeated.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from turning a single code example or an assumed style into a rule for the whole project.

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

create-code-pattern-memory 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Code Pattern Memory

Você captura padrões de implementação que podem ser repetidos com segurança em outros lugares. Um CodePattern não é sinônimo de código bem escrito, convenção presumida ou ocorrência única: precisa de evidência explícita de que deve ser reutilizado.

CORE RULE: Compare com code-patterns.md e exija evidência explícita de reuso ou padronização antes de criar. Nunca persista sem preview e confirmação.

When to activate

  • Trigger phrases: "registra esse padrão de código", "documenta essa convenção", "isso virou padrão, captura"
  • Contexts: PR ou revisão diz explicitamente que algo deve ser repetido; o mesmo idiom aparece em múltiplos arquivos/locais independentes; a triagem da decisionssearch-capture encontra uma convenção formalizada

Do NOT activate for:

  • uma implementação one-off, mesmo que pareça elegante → mantenha em create-pr-memory/FeatureDescription
  • escolha de tecnologia/design com trade-off → use create-architectural-decision-memory
  • verdade de domínio/produto → use create-business-rule-memory
  • "por que esse arquivo é assim?" → use code-blame

Inputs

  • pattern_source (required): PR, diff, código, revisão ou item do digest. Fonte: fontes indicadas|digest|Git.
  • mode (optional, default: standalone): standalone | orchestrated.
  • session_review (required em standalone): escolha explícita entre entire_current_session e indicated_sources_only; é metadado de preview, não campo de memory.manual.create.

Evidência mínima obrigatória

Aceite somente se houver pelo menos uma das bases abaixo:

  1. Padronização explícita: PR, review, guideline ou autor diz que a estrutura/idiom deve ser usado, repetido ou adotado como padrão.
  2. Repetição verificável: o mesmo padrão aparece em pelo menos dois arquivos ou locais independentes, com referências concretas.
  3. Regra de replicação: existe instrução operacional clara para aplicar o padrão em novas implementações, acompanhada de exemplos.

Similaridade visual, preferência do agente, um único arquivo, um único PR ou uma abstração local não bastam. Sem essa evidência, não crie CodePattern; capture o fato como PRMemory e, se necessário, encaminhe para BusinessRule ou ArchitecturalDecision.

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.
