coding

coding is a skill for Claude Code from sorah/config. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of language-independent rules for writing and reviewing code, covering readability, formatting, comments, and error handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing code in any programming language, especially when deciding how to format code, write comments, and handle errors.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a consistent baseline when a project has no more specific rules. Project instructions still take priority.

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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

General Coding Guidelines

Language-agnostic coding conventions applicable across all projects. Project-specific conventions (CLAUDE.md, style guides) always take priority over this guidance.

Code Quality

  • Do not leave empty lines containing only whitespace
  • Write clean, readable code that follows the language's established conventions
  • Use consistent indentation and formatting

Code Comments

Comments must not repeat what the code already expresses. Use comments to explain why something is done, or to record context that cannot be recovered from the code itself.

Three rules govern everything below.

Write for a stranger reading the file, not a reviewer reading the diff. The reader has never seen the pull request, the spec, the ticket, the review discussion, or the previous version of the code. A comment that only makes sense with that context is noise to everyone else.

Keep them short. Default to a single line. Use two or three only when one genuinely cannot carry the constraint. This applies to doc comments too: a class or method doc comment states what the thing is and what it guarantees, in a sentence or two. It is not a design document.

Avoid narrative. A comment states a fact. It does not build to a point, weigh alternatives, or qualify itself. Punctuation is a reliable tell: reaching for an em dash, a semicolon, or a colon that introduces an explanation is the signal to stop and cut, not to keep writing. So is a second sentence opening with "But", "So", "Note that", or "In practice".

When to comment:

  • To explain why a non-obvious approach or workaround was chosen
  • To clarify intent when the code could be misread or misunderstood
  • To record an external constraint (protocol, spec, upstream bug, API quirk) the code must satisfy
  • To document an assumption, edge case, or limitation a reader would otherwise have to rediscover

When not to comment:

  • Do not narrate what the code is doing, the code already says that
  • Do not duplicate function or variable names in plain English
  • Do not leave stale comments that contradict the code
  • Do not reference removed or obsolete code paths

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository sorah/config (31 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,123 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-17.
