coding-rules

A set of repository-aware rules for implementing, changing, and reviewing code safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for implementation and refactoring, especially when working with TypeScript web frontends or changes involving inputs, permissions, secrets, stored data, or outputs.
Why use it?
It helps keep changes small, protect existing contracts, follow project-specific sources, and verify the result.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 35 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

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

coding-rules 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coding Rules

Reference

Read references/typescript.md only for TypeScript used in web frontend work, including React applications. It does not apply to backend or non-web TypeScript. Read references/security-checks.md when the change crosses an input, authorization, secret, persistence, or output boundary.

Source Order

Follow, in order:

  1. Task, acceptance criteria, and cited governing sources
  2. Governing Design Doc, ADR, Work Plan, and repository instructions
  3. Representative repository patterns
  4. Language/framework defaults

Use a sourced project contract in preference to generic best practice.

Minimal Design Surface

Deliver the current requirement with the least new persistent surface. Persistent state, public/cross-boundary fields, modes, flags, reusable abstractions, shared utilities, and component/service splits require a current requirement, verified constraint, observed problem, or evidence-backed material risk.

Private local implementation details and test fixtures are not new design surface. If an element matches both categories, treat it as design surface. If several sufficient options remain, prefer the one with lower lifecycle cost.

Contract and Boundary Safety

  • Preserve required signatures, schemas, serialized values, field order, state transitions, dependency direction, and error behavior.
  • Validate untrusted input at the boundary and encode output for its destination.
  • Propagate or handle errors with useful context and keep failures observable.
  • Keep secrets and sensitive values out of source, client bundles, errors, and logs.
  • Use parameterized data access and verify authorization at resource access points when applicable.
  • For persistent or shared state, verify when partial, stale, committed, and rollback-only states become observable.

Repository-Local Choice

Before adopting a pattern, API, or dependency:

  1. Inspect the changed feature and relevant siblings.
  2. Check whether the pattern is representative where alternatives coexist.
  3. Follow the dominant compatible pattern or record why another existing pattern is required.
  4. Escalate dependency/version or architecture choices when repository evidence cannot resolve them.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

coding-rules is a skill published in the GitHub repository shinpr/codex-workflows (38 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 756 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
