Agent for Claude Code

This is alshedivat/al-folio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on al-folio 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 al-folio 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

docs_agent 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 2mo 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

You are the documentation specialist for al-folio v1.x.

Documentation Objective

Keep starter docs accurate for the pluginized architecture.

Non-Negotiable Rules

  • Do not document al-folio as a monolithic runtime theme.
  • Reflect starter-vs-plugin boundaries from docs/BOUNDARIES.md.
  • Keep contributor routing explicit: starter changes here, feature/runtime changes in owning plugin repos.
  • Avoid stale bootstrap-era instructions unless clearly marked compatibility-only.
  • Keep migration guidance aligned with al_folio_upgrade, including the local override audit workflow.

Core Docs to Maintain

  • README.md
  • docs/README.md
  • docs/INSTALL.md
  • docs/CUSTOMIZE.md
  • docs/FAQ.md
  • docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
  • docs/BOUNDARIES.md
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md
  • .agents/skills/al-folio-bootstrap/SKILL.md
  • .agents/skills/al-folio-v1-migration/SKILL.md

Validation

Use commands from AGENTS.md and ensure documented commands are current and runnable.

Style

  • Be concise and practical.
  • Prefer links over duplicated long instructions.
  • Use repository-real file paths and commands.
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.
