What it does

Global Standards is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Project-wide coding standards and conventions specialist. Use PROACTIVELY when writing code, making architectural decisions, or establishing project conventions. Covers coding style, commenting, error handling, validation, tech stack consistency, and project conventions across all languages and frameworks.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/coding-style.md`, `references/commenting.md` and `references/conventions.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Code quality. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code quality

Example prompts

  • “/global-standards”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Coding Style
  2. Commenting Standards
  3. Error Handling
  4. Input Validation
  5. Tech Stack Consistency
  6. Project Conventions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. 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

    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

Global Standards loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 876 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:181
    **Applies to:** Configuration files (.env, package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, Dockerfile, docker-compose.ym

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 876 words (~2,051 tokens).

“This skill provides comprehensive guidance on project-wide coding standards, conventions, and best practices that apply across the entire codebase regardless of language or framework.”
