coding

A project-specific coding-hygiene setup that records file-size limits and bug types for code review. It saves this guidance in a Markdown file and a few project settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a codebase and its Git history, decide what coding problems reviewers should watch for, and store those decisions for a code-review agent.
Why use it?
It gives code reviews guidance based on the project's files and past bugs, instead of relying only on generic checks.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/dotclaude:coding — coding hygiene elicitation

You are eliciting the project-specific coding-discipline intent for the user's project: the right file-size ceiling and the bug classes a reviewer should specifically watch for. The output is ONE thin artifact — .claude/dotclaude/code-anti-patterns.md — plus a handful of keys in dotclaude.yml. You do not author an agent, a rule file, or a hook: the consumed code-review agent (shipped by the plugin — see agents/code-review.md) already reads dotclaude.yml's artifacts.code-anti-patterns path at runtime, falls back to its own generic methodology when the artifact is absent, and grades new changes against each entry in addition to the generic pass when it's present (full contract: ../../docs/artifact-contract.md).

This is the layer the user wants set up FIRST on any project — the elicitation is cheap, and the consumed code-review agent is useful even with an empty artifact. The companion /dotclaude:testing setup layers on top for test discipline, and the separate dotclaude-design plugin covers design / UX / a11y discipline for projects with a human-facing surface.

Phase 1 — Read the project's code shape

Before any question:

  1. Stack signal — read whichever exists:

    cat package.json 2>/dev/null
    cat Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null
    cat pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null
    cat go.mod 2>/dev/null
    

    The dependencies + scripts disclose: language, framework, runtime, test runner, lint setup.

  2. File-size distribution — find the worst offenders:

    find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o -path ./.git -prune -o \
      \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.py" \
         -o -name "*.rs" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.swift" -o -name "*.kt" \) \
      -print 2>/dev/null | xargs wc -l 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | head -20
    

    The top of this list calibrates the right ceiling: pick at the 95th percentile of healthy files + a buffer. A 1500-line outlier doesn't justify a 1500 LOC ceiling — it justifies decomposing the outlier.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository vindm/dotclaude (1 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 2,140 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
