Applying Coding Baseline

Overview

Some behavioral rules are too important to leave to chance — they prevent common LLM coding mistakes that recur every session. This skill maintains a curated set of such rules in canonical form and applies them to a project's directive files. Existing content with similar intent is replaced with the canonical wording so coverage is consistent across projects.

Core principle: The set is pre-vetted. Verification (via guarding-agent-directives) is skipped on insertion — these rules earned their place through deliberate selection, not per-project review.

Curated set

The exact canonical text lives in reference/baseline-rules.md. The skill is data-driven on that file; appending a new section there is the only action needed to extend the set.
