product-context-builder

product-context-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thedesignproject/agent-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating project context files such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, PRODUCT.md, and DESIGN.md so coding agents understand a repository and its product.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide which guidance files are needed and build them from the codebase, scripts, documentation, UI components, design tokens, and product requirements.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from guessing about commands, design rules, product goals, or project constraints. It first checks what the repository already contains.

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

product-context-builder 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Product Context Builder

Build a compact, connected context system grounded in the user's real product and repository. The finished files should help an AI agent understand the codebase, the product judgment behind it, the visual system it must reuse, and the task-specific workflows it can load when relevant.

Start by discovering what exists

Inspect the repository before interviewing the user. Locate:

  • existing AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md, and skill folders
  • package scripts, build and test commands, source directories, and contribution rules
  • UI components, Storybook stories, theme files, CSS variables, Tailwind configuration, and token packages
  • product documentation, PRDs, research, brand guidance, and accessibility requirements

Report what you found, what can be inferred safely, and what needs a human answer. Never invent commands, component names, product positioning, tokens, or constraints.

Choose the files that earn their place

Do not generate every file automatically.

  • Create or update AGENTS.md when multiple coding agents need stable repository instructions.
  • Create or update CLAUDE.md when Claude Code needs tool-specific guidance that is meaningfully different. Keep shared rules aligned with AGENTS.md.
  • Create PRODUCT.md when agents need durable product judgment: audience, purpose, personality, principles, references, and anti-references.
  • Create DESIGN.md when a real visual system or component library can be documented from evidence.
  • Create a project skill only for a repeatable task with a recognizable trigger and a stable workflow.

Read the matching guide before drafting a file:

Use the templates in assets/templates/ as prompts for evidence, not forms that must be filled mechanically. Remove empty and irrelevant sections.

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.
