What it does
Project Guidelines Example is an agent skill from cloudnative-co/claude-code-starter-kit. Example project-specific skill template. Use as a starting point when creating guidelines for your own projects.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/architecture.md`, `references/code-patterns.md` and `references/testing-deployment.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: One-command setup of a complete Claude Code development environment with interactive wizard. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Skill authoring
Example prompts
- “/project-guidelines-example”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- No emojis in code, comments, or documentation
- Immutability - never mutate objects or arrays
- TDD - write tests before implementation
- 80% coverage minimum
- Many small files - 200-400 lines typical, 800 max
- No console.log in production code
- Proper error handling with try/catch
- Input validation with Pydantic/Zod
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f00e7ce. 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.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
zenith.chat
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
Project Guidelines Example loads about 446 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
