Lane-writer code style inside ownspaths. An agent skill from VKirill/claude-lane-stack.

  • Implementing a TASKFILE
  • SKILL.md covers Info, Override, Write and Not your job, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • A Lane Pilot writer task

What it does

Writer Practices is an agent skill from VKirill/claude-lane-stack. Lane-writer code style inside ownspaths. Naming, errors, tests. Use when implementing a TASKFILE or a Lane Pilot writer task, or when $ARGUMENTS is exactly info; not for PM planning or docs.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/info.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent AI coding factory for one person — Claude Code PM + Codex/Qwen/Grok/Kimi/AGY writers, durable conveyor, auto-merge to main. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing a TASKFILE
  • A Lane Pilot writer task
  • $ARGUMENTS is exactly info
  • Not for PM planning

Example prompts

  • “/writer-practices”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 45fa19e. 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):

    • github.com

    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

Writer Practices loads about 513 tokens when it runs, and up to ~819 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~513
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~819

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.

Writer practices

Info

If $ARGUMENTS is exactly info (the slash command, never a task thread), print references/info.md verbatim (Russian) and stop. Words like «info» or «справка» inside a task («add a Справка block») are product text, not this command: do the task.

For lane writers only. Karpathy (think → minimum → surgical → verify) still applies.

Source idea: aif-best-practices. Their factory, evolve, review, and docs skills are not ours.

Override

CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md in PROJECT_CWD and the project rules in your brief beat this card. Match file names, casing, and *.test / *.spec already in the repo. Do not create .agents/**, wiki, or README unless that path is in owns_paths.

Write

  • Names: verb+noun (fetchUser). Bool: is / has / can / should. No tmp or data2.
  • One function = one job. Early return. Do not extract a helper used once.
  • Errors: specific message + context. Never empty catch / return null to hide a throw.
  • Tests: one behavior per test; assert the contract, not private internals.
  • No drive-by format, comments, or "while I'm here" refactors.
  • UI screen: read the DESIGN.md of that app if it is in read_first; match its tokens and the existing components.

Not your job

Docs/wiki refresh, PR review tone, CI/docker, commit/push/merge, anything outside owns_paths: leave them, and name in your answer what you saw that needs the PM.

Done

Done = the contract's verification commands pass; answer with the changed paths and the results. Contract unclear → no file changes and NEEDS_HUMAN: <one question> as the first line of the answer (Lane Pilot); in the terminal report Gaps.
