Claudeisms Operational Guidelines

What problem does it solve?

Claude, while powerful, can sometimes be inconsistent, overly verbose, or perform actions without explicit confirmation. This Skill standardizes Claude's behavior, making its task execution more reliable, predictable, and aligned with best practices. It prevents common AI pitfalls like making assumptions, being overly chatty, or performing destructive operations without user consent.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Strict Execution Protocols: Ensures tasks are run sequentially, tested after every step, and requires explicit confirmation for any destructive operations (e.g., database deletion, live pushes).
• Concise Communication: Enforces minimal, terse responses, avoids unnecessary embellishments (like emojis or production claims), and promotes clear, direct communication.
• Enhanced Reliability & Safety: Mandates root cause analysis (RCA) for recurring issues, encourages script reuse over new script creation, and prompts for clarification when tasks seem irrational or overly complex.
• Use Case: When delegating a critical coding task or system modification to Claude, activate Claudeisms to ensure it adheres to strict development guidelines: testing all changes, asking for clarification on ambiguities, and never pushing to production without explicit, direct approval.

Quick Start

Once installed in Claude Code, simply tell Claude:

"Apply Claudeisms guidelines to this task" Or, the skill will automatically activate when relevant to your instructions.
