Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

update-conventions 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 8d 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 — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/update-conventions — Pull plugin-template improvements into this repo

The plugin's hooks, skills, and commands auto-trickle when you update the marketplace — they run from the plugin install. But two things don't reach an already-bootstrapped repo on their own: (1) the files this plugin copied into the repo at bootstrap (working-agreements.md, the issue templates) are owned by the repo from that moment on, so template improvements never reach them; and (2) a plugin added to the marketplace after this repo was bootstrapped (e.g. engineering-craft) is never switched on here — and a plugin's skills only trickle in once it's in enabledPlugins. This skill closes both gaps on demand.

Direction: one-way, template → repo (pull-down only). It surfaces what the bundled template grew and offers to merge it in. It never overwrites your local customizations, and it never pushes repo changes back up to the plugin — a repo that has improved its own conventions and wants to contribute that upstream does so via a normal PR to the plugin repo, not through this skill.

Scope — only the shared-convention files:

File (in this repo) Bundled template Reconciled?
.claude/rules/working-agreements.md bootstrap-working-agreements/templates/working-agreements.md Yes — primary
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature.yml github-project-setup/templates/feature.yml Yes
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug.yml github-project-setup/templates/bug.yml Yes
.claude/settings.json (enabledPlugins) bootstrap-working-agreements Step 6.5 Yes — retrofit missing plugin enablements (e.g. engineering-craft)
.claude/gh-project.json (siblings) github-project-setup Step 4b Yes — retrofit the opt-in sibling-status hook flag (multi-repo, side-by-side setups)

Deliberately out of scope (a diff would be all noise — these are per-repo content, not shared convention): the root/spoke CLAUDE.md scaffolds, .claude/rules/roadmap.md, and the body of .claude/rules/decisions.md.

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.
