Project Conventions

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:audit
Opinionated defaults for the lower-stakes structural conventions every project has to pick — branch strategy, directory layout, dependency pinning, path portability. The companion to manage-secrets-env (which owns the high-stakes secrets/env slice). Picks GitHub Flow, enforces pinned dependencies, nudges toward domain-first directory structure, and audits for hardcoded absolute paths. Adapts to repo type — app (exact pin + lockfile), library (semver range + compatibility matrix), monorepo (per-package). Language-agnostic.

From the source SKILL.md

The operator has to make a handful of structural decisions on every new project that are not about secrets: which branch do I work on, where do files go, do I pin dependencies, how do I avoid hardcoding my home directory into source. Each one is a small tax on attention. Most of them have one answer that works for 95% of projects.
