project-conventions

project-conventions is a skill for Claude Code from subinium/vibesubin. It costs 113 tokens per session (4,300 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of recommended project conventions covering branches, folder layout, dependency versions, and portable file paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting or organizing a project to choose a branch workflow, directory structure, pinned dependencies, and safer path practices.
Why use it?
It removes repeated small decisions that can make a project inconsistent or difficult to move between computers and environments.

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 B, and why

project-conventions scanned grade B 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 9d 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- Don't lecture about `git-flow` vs GitHub Flow vs trunk-based development. Pick GitHub Flow, state the reason in one sentence, move on.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

project-conventions

The operator has to make a handful of structural decisions on every new project that are not about secrets: which branch do I work on, where do files go, do I pin dependencies, how do I avoid hardcoding my home directory into source. Each one is a small tax on attention. Most of them have one answer that works for 95% of projects.

This skill pre-pays that tax with one opinionated answer per question. The high-stakes slice — secrets, .env, secret-shaped gitignore entries, CI secret stores — lives in manage-secrets-env. Split this way so the operator can trigger the right depth of care for the right question.

The principle: the best convention is the one the operator doesn't have to invent. When they ask "should I make a dev branch?", answer in one sentence and move on. Don't present a decision framework; make the decision.

State assumptions — before acting

Before starting the procedure, write an explicit Assumptions block. Don't pick silently between interpretations; surface the choice. If any assumption is wrong or ambiguous, pause and ask — do not proceed on a guess.

Required block:

Assumptions:
- Project maturity:  <new scaffold | active repo under audit | legacy repo with historical conventions to respect>
- Branch strategy:   <GitHub Flow (main only) | main + dev | trunk-based | other — detected from CONTRIBUTING.md / recent branches>
- Pinning strategy:  <exact-pin + lockfile | caret-range | no lockfile | mixed per-package (monorepo)>
- Sweep scope:       <whole repo | single subdirectory | single concern (branches OR deps OR layout OR paths)>

Typical items for this skill:

  • Project maturity (new project being scaffolded / active project being audited / legacy project with historical conventions to respect)
  • Existing branch strategy (GitHub Flow with main only / long-lived dev branch / trunk-based / other)
  • Existing pinning strategy (exact-pin / caret-range / no lockfile / mixed)

Stop-and-ask triggers:

  • Project has both main and dev branches with distinct purposes — never unilaterally switch, ask which is the integration target
  • Project is a monorepo with per-package pinning conventions — never apply a uniform rule without operator confirmation

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.
