Guidance for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Warp, etc.) working in this repository.
A portable agent skill implemented entirely as Markdown. The runtime artifact is SKILL.md: the agent reads its YAML frontmatter (metadata + allowed tools) followed by the editor prompt. There is no build step and no code to run, and the repo should avoid wording that limits support to one or two harnesses.
SKILL.md — the skill itself. YAML frontmatter (name, version, description, compatibility, allowed-tools) followed by the canonical, numbered pattern list with before/after examples. This is the source of truth.README.md — for humans: installation, usage, a summary table of the patterns, and a version history..claude-plugin/plugin.json — optional Claude Code plugin manifest..claude-plugin/marketplace.json — optional single-repo marketplace entry so /plugin marketplace add blader/humanizer works.SKILL.md and README.md must stay in sync. When you change behavior or content:
SKILL.md frontmatter has a version: field, README.md has a "Version History" section, and .claude-plugin/plugin.json has a version field. Bump them together so package metadata matches the skill. (marketplace.json intentionally omits a version so plugin.json stays the package source of truth.)
