In particular I'm asking about a rule like keep Shabbat.

If we're working with the assumption that people don't follow the 10 Commandments or the Old Testament then it makes sense elect a sub-set that we explicitly follow.

But if we assume a person is already following the Old Testament then isn't this redundant?

My question is what amount of the Old Testament is it assumed we're already following as Mikraites. For example we don't follow the rules about shellfish.
