What is archive-openbrain CLAUDE.md?

Project governance instructions for OpenBrainLM, a harness for large language models. A harness is the surrounding rules, memory, tools, and agent workflow that guide a model's work.

It is for following the project's Trinity reasoning mode, managing short- and long-term memory, using self-learning workflows, and applying its governance rules.

It explains how the project combines structured debate, persistent memory, research, verification, and agent coordination.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00834	$0.00834
Opus 5.5	$0.00334	$0.00334
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00167	$0.00167

Security

Grade A, and why

archive-openbrain CLAUDE.md 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.

OpenBrainLM — Subproject Governance

Auto-loaded by Claude Code when working in this directory. Parent governance: C:\apps_ai\CLAUDE.md (inherits all global rules).

What Is This

A harness for large language models. Three parts: Trinity (dialectic reasoning), Memory (persistence across sessions), Self-Learning Loop (research + verification).

The harness is MD files, rules, skills, hooks, memory, and agent dispatch. LM-agnostic — works with any backend.

Owner

See parent C:\apps_ai\CLAUDE.md for owner profile.

The Harness (What's Operational)

Trinity Mode

Ethos — evidence corridors + rules + evaluation criteria (set per task)
Pathos — the mission (Opus doing work, managing agents and memory)
Logos — the gates (Sonnet agent checking work against Ethos)
Trinity is a DIALECTIC, not a pipeline. The structured disagreement IS the reasoning.
Spec: memory/trinity_mode_spec.md — AUTHORITATIVE

Memory

memory/short_term.md — session activity ledger
memory/long_term.md — verified findings (consolidated from short_term)
memory/todos.md — persistent task list
memory/connections.md — what works/doesn't, cross-refs
Auto-consolidation at session breakpoints and end

Self-Learning Loop

corridor → verify → cite → save → explore/learn
Corridors: NotebookLM (1-2 assigned), arXiv, GitHub, Context7
Source hierarchy: arXiv → top-tier academics → open source GitHub
Loop count and depth set per task

Rules

No public actions without explicit approval. (rule 00)
Trinity is a DIALECTIC, not a pipeline. Logos and Pathos fight. Ethos provides the corridors and criteria.
Always cite. No claims without third-party sources.
Append-only memory. Never delete from long-term. Overflow to archival.
ASK before expanding scope. Corridors, notebooks, research direction — ASK if not specified.

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.
