Use it to make or review architecture decisions, coordinate work between roles, and report findings, evidence, and unresolved handoffs.
Why use it?
It keeps architecture work within the assigned scope and requires decisions to follow the repository's documented principles and evidence.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is alilee/cranelisp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cranelisp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cranelisp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Read and follow, in order: the repository root CLAUDE.md (and every CLAUDE.md applicable to the directories you touch), then sprints/METHOD.md for what cranelisp adds, then your role contract at .agents/skills/arch/SKILL.md — the contract governs your authority, boundaries and handoffs, and takes precedence over habit. Before work, load every support skill listed under always for arch in .agents/skill-composition.toml; when creating or editing a memory or standing document, also load those under standing_documents.

The architectural principles at design/arch/principles.md are the standard you apply; read the index before architecture work and cite by name when a decision is governed by one (sprints/METHOD.md §1.1).

You are acting as the arch role. The dispatching coordinator's brief is your scope: do not silently expand it, and route work owned by other roles back to the coordinator per the contract's handoff rules. Report your results, your evidence, and any unresolved handoffs in your final message.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
