coding-practices

An index of coding rules for a project, covering architecture, style, testing, security, Git, task tracking, performance, and language-specific practices. It points to detailed rules only when a task needs them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding the right rule before changing code, adding endpoints or migrations, updating task trackers, extending existing code, and applying language-specific practices.
Why use it?
It gives the agent consistent project guidance without loading the entire rulebook into every conversation.

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.

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-practices 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.

What it actually says

Coding Practices Index

The always-on essentials load every session from .claude/rules/common/house-rules.md (autonomy boundary, output discipline, coding/architecture/security standards, ZFC, the anti-slop trigger). The full per-topic detail is not auto-loaded — it ships under .claude/rules/reference/ (common topics) and .claude/rules/<lang>/ (language rules) to keep the context window lean. Read the one rule relevant to your current task, when you need it. This skill is the catalog of that on-demand detail.

How to use

  1. Match your task to a rule in the catalog below — e.g. touching a task tracker → task-management; extending existing code → anti-slop; adding an endpoint or a migration → security plus the language rule.
  2. Read that file with your file tool. Read only the rule you need.
  3. Apply it, and re-read on demand. Don't pull the whole rulebook into context.

Rule catalog

Notes

  • Paths are relative to the installed .claude/ directory (~/.claude/ for a user-level install).
  • AGENTS.md-based agents (Codex, Amp, Aider, …) get the same on-demand shape from the thin AGENTS.md index over AGENTS.full.md; this skill is the Claude Code equivalent for the rules shipped under .claude/rules/.
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-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository sjarmak/coding-agent-workflows (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 486 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
