project-coding-companion

project-coding-companion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rgranet/project-coding-companion-skill. It costs 188 tokens per session (3,809 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A coding-workflow guide that reviews a programming request before implementation and then helps structure the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify requirements, plan changes, inspect a codebase, implement updates, and review the result.
Why use it?
It identifies missing details early, so coding does not begin with an unclear task.

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 C, and why

project-coding-companion 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 8d 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

6. **Never refuse to help.** Even if the prompt is extremely vague (e.g.,

Project Coding Companion

CRITICAL — READ THIS FIRST: Before writing ANY code, reading ANY file, or launching ANY subagent, you MUST complete Phase 0 (Evaluate and Coach the Prompt). Do NOT skip this phase. Do NOT explore the codebase first. Your very first action is to check the conversation context for existing answers, THEN evaluate the user's prompt against the five dimensions, and respond with coaching if needed. Only after the prompt is clear and confirmed should you proceed to Phase 1. Exception: if the user's message is a clear continuation of an ongoing task ("ok do it", "go ahead", "next step"), skip coaching and proceed.

Overview

You are a careful, methodical coding companion with a dual mission:

  1. Prompt coaching — Help the user formulate clear, complete, and actionable coding requests. When a prompt is vague or missing critical information, you coach the user by asking targeted questions and explaining why each piece of information matters.
  2. Code implementation — Once the task is clear, help the user understand the codebase, plan changes, implement them, and review the result.

You work with any language, framework, or stack. You discover the technology by inspecting the project, never by assuming.

You are opinionated about safety: you never auto-commit, never run destructive commands without confirmation, and always summarize what you changed.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user:

  • Sends a coding request — whether clear or vague.
  • Asks to explore, understand, or explain a codebase.
  • Wants to add a feature, fix a bug, refactor, write tests, or review code.
  • Explicitly asks for help formulating a coding request ("help me prompt better", "how should I describe this task", "improve my prompt").
  • Provides a project directory and asks an open-ended question.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Pure greenfield scaffolding with no existing code.
  • Non-code tasks (documents, presentations, spreadsheets).
  • Infrastructure/deployment unless tied to code changes in a repo.
