What it does

Delphi Patterns is an agent skill from academiadocodigo/SimpleORM. Coding conventions and patterns for the SimpleORM Delphi project. Automatically loaded when writing or modifying Delphi code.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases. The repository describes itself as: ORM Simples para Aplicações Delphi. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/delphi-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6227399. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are pascal).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Delphi Patterns loads about 560 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~560

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

SimpleORM Delphi Patterns

Rules are in .claude/rules/ — this skill provides patterns and templates, not rules.

Class Structure Template

pascal

TSimpleXxx = class(TInterfacedObject, iSimpleXxx)
private
  FField: Type;
public
  constructor Create(aParam: Type);
  destructor Destroy; override;
  class function New(aParam: Type): iSimpleXxx;
end;

Naming Reference

Element	Convention	Example
Unit	`SimpleXxx.pas`	`SimpleDAO.pas`
Class	`TSimpleXxx`	`TSimpleDAO`
Interface	`iSimpleXxx` (lowercase i)	`iSimpleQuery`
Exception	`ESimpleXxx`	`ESimpleValidator`
Field	`F` prefix	`FQuery`, `FParams`
Parameter	`a` prefix	`aValue`, `aSQL`
Local var	`L` prefix (new code)	`LResult`

Conditional Compilation Patterns

pascal

{$IFNDEF CONSOLE}    // UI code (forms, bindings)
{$IFDEF FMX}         // FireMonkey specific
{$IFDEF VCL}         // VCL specific
{$IF RTLVERSION > 31.0}  // Newer Delphi features

Uses Clause Organization

pascal

interface
uses
  // 1. SimpleORM units
  SimpleInterface, SimpleTypes,
  // 2. System units
  System.SysUtils, System.Classes, System.Generics.Collections,
  // 3. Data units
  Data.DB,
  // 4. Conditional UI units
  {$IFNDEF CONSOLE}
    {$IFDEF FMX} FMX.Forms, {$ELSE} Vcl.Forms, {$ENDIF}
  {$ENDIF}
  // 5. Driver-specific units last
  FireDAC.Comp.Client;

Error Handling Template

pascal

try
  FQuery.ExecSQL;
except
  on E: Exception do
  begin
    if FTransaction.Active then
      FTransaction.Rollback;
    raise;
  end;
end;

Destructor Template

pascal

destructor TSimpleXxx.Destroy;
begin
  FreeAndNil(FOwnedObject1);
  FreeAndNil(FOwnedObject2);
  // Interface fields: do NOT free (auto-managed)
  inherited;
end;

RTTI Helper Methods

Use helpers from SimpleRTTIHelper.pas:

Portuguese (legacy): EhChavePrimaria, EhChaveEstrangeira, EhCampo, Tem<T>
English (new): IsNotNull, IsIgnore, IsAutoInc, IsHasOne, HasFormat

When should I use Delphi Patterns?

Delphi Patterns fits situations like: databases work in your project.

How do I install Delphi Patterns in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add academiadocodigo/SimpleORM --skill delphi-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/delphi-patterns in academiadocodigo/SimpleORM) into .claude/skills/delphi-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Delphi Patterns in Codex?

Run `npx skills add academiadocodigo/SimpleORM --skill delphi-patterns -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/delphi-patterns in academiadocodigo/SimpleORM) into .agents/skills/delphi-patterns in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Delphi Patterns in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add academiadocodigo/SimpleORM --skill delphi-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/delphi-patterns, .gemini/skills/delphi-patterns, .github/skills/delphi-patterns and .opencode/skills/delphi-patterns in your project.

What does Delphi Patterns need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Delphi Patterns is instructions for the agent only.

Does Delphi Patterns access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Delphi Patterns safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Delphi Patterns use?

Delphi Patterns is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Delphi Patterns use?

About 560 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
