What it does
Coding Agent Standards is an agent skill from repowise-dev/claude-code-prompts. Defines practical standards for implementation-focused coding agents. Use when creating or editing code, especially when reliability, clarity, and low-risk delivery are required.
Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Prompt engineering. The repository describes itself as: Independently authored prompt templates for AI coding agents — system prompts, tool prompts, agent delegation, memory management, and multi-agent coordination. Informed by… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Especially when reliability
- Low-risk delivery are required
Example prompts
- “Use the coding-agent-standards skill to define practical standards for implementation-focused coding agents”
- “/coding-agent-standards”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Clarify the requested outcome and constraints before editing.
- Prefer small, focused changes over broad refactors.
- Preserve existing behavior unless a behavior change is requested.
- Keep naming, structure, and style consistent with nearby code.
- Add or update tests when behavior changes.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 989fc0e. 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
Coding Agent Standards loads about 296 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 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.

Coding Agent Standards
Purpose
Use this skill to keep code changes predictable, reviewable, and safe.
Default Behavior
- Clarify the requested outcome and constraints before editing.
- Prefer small, focused changes over broad refactors.
- Preserve existing behavior unless a behavior change is requested.
- Keep naming, structure, and style consistent with nearby code.
- Add or update tests when behavior changes.
Implementation Checklist
- Confirm the smallest viable file set to edit.
- Handle edge cases and explicit failure paths.
- Avoid speculative abstractions and dead code.
- Add concise comments only where intent is not obvious.
- Run available validation steps before finalizing.
Delivery Format
When reporting completion:
- What changed (files and intent).
- Why it changed (problem solved or risk reduced).
- How it was verified (tests, checks, or manual validation).
- Remaining risks, assumptions, or follow-ups.
