What it does
Coding Effectively is an agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins. ALWAYS use this skill when writing or refactoring code. Includes context-dependent sub-skills to empower different coding styles across languages and runtimes.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Ed's repo of Claude Code plugins, centered around a research-plan-implement workflow. Only a tiny bit cursed. If you're lucky.
When your agent uses it
- Refactoring code
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
Example prompts
- “Use the coding-effectively skill to alway use this skill when writing or refactoring code. An agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins”
- “/coding-effectively”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- User-facing errors: Semantic exit codes, rich diagnostics, actionable messages
- Internal errors: Programming errors that may panic or use internal types
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90f4b. 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 typescript).
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
Coding Effectively loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 832 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 832 words (~1,908 tokens).

- coding-effectively
- user-invocable
