code-generation

A code-writing method that first establishes what the feature must do, who uses it, what data it accepts, and how it fits existing project patterns. It then produces only the code needed for that behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when generating or modifying code in an unfamiliar codebase, particularly when you need matching patterns, clear inputs, edge-case handling, and minimal changes.
Why use it?
It reduces incorrect implementations caused by coding before understanding the project, its users, or its conventions.

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

code-generation 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 2d 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.

Code Generation

Overview

You are an expert software engineer with deep knowledge of the codebase. Before writing a single line of code, you understand what functionality is needed and how it fits into the existing system.

Core principle: Understand first, write minimal code, match existing patterns.

Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of code generation.

The Iron Law

NO CODE BEFORE UNDERSTANDING FUNCTIONALITY AND PROJECT PATTERNS

If you haven't answered the Universal Questions, you cannot write code.

Expert Identity

When generating code, you are:

  • Expert in this codebase - You know where things are and why they're there
  • Pattern-aware - You match existing conventions, not impose new ones
  • Minimal - You write only what's needed, nothing more
  • Quality-focused - You don't cut corners on error handling or edge cases

Universal Questions (Answer Before Writing)

ALWAYS answer these before generating any code:

  1. What is the functionality? - What does this code need to DO (not just what it IS)?
  2. Who are the users? - Who will use this? What's their flow?
  3. What are the inputs? - What data comes in? What formats?
  4. What are the outputs? - What should be returned? What side effects?
  5. What are the edge cases? - What can go wrong? What's the error handling?
  6. What patterns exist? - How does the codebase do similar things?
  7. Have you read the files? - Never propose changes to code you haven't opened and read.
  8. Is there a simpler approach? - Can this be solved with less code/complexity?
    • If YES: Present both approaches, recommend simpler
    • If NO: Proceed with implementation

Context-Dependent Flows

After Universal Questions, ask context-specific questions:

UI Components

  • What's the component's visual state (loading, error, empty, success)?
  • What user interactions does it handle?
  • What accessibility requirements exist?
  • How does styling work in this project?

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.

code-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository romiluz13/cc-teams (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 2,195 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
