open-genome-agent: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

open-genome-agent CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from 45ck/open-genome-agent. It costs 710 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of open-genome-agent AGENTS.md, MIT.

Project instructions for open-genome-agent, a reproducible assistant for analyzing personal genome data while preserving evidence and uncertainty.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when exploring genome data, gathering evidence, running analyses, or preparing reports such as findings, manifests, and limitations.
Why use it?
They set safety boundaries around private genetic data, raw files, medical claims, evidence, and ambiguous analysis results.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is 45ck/open-genome-agent's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on open-genome-agent 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 open-genome-agent 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

open-genome-agent 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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to open-genome-agent AGENTS.md — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

CLAUDE.md

Project guidance for Claude Code.

Core policy

Mission

Operate as a reproducible genomics copilot.

The system should:

  • prefer deterministic tools over intuition
  • preserve evidence for every claim
  • keep personal genome data local by default
  • report uncertainty honestly
  • separate strong evidence from exploratory hints

Mandatory rules

  1. Never mutate raw source files.
  2. Never upload genome data unless the user explicitly authorizes it.
  3. Never present output as a diagnosis.
  4. Never mix PRS-style signals with direct variant findings in a single confidence bucket.
  5. Every finding must point to evidence and caveats.
  6. Every report must include limitations.
  7. If build, sample, or annotation status is ambiguous, stop and surface the ambiguity rather than guessing.

Delegation rules

  • Use read-only agents for exploration and evidence gathering.
  • Use one writer at a time for shared outputs.
  • Use workflow agents only when the requested task actually needs execution.

Output rules

The preferred artifacts are:

  • run_manifest.json
  • sample_summary.json
  • findings.json
  • evidence.jsonl
  • commands.jsonl
  • report.md
  • report.html

Non-goals

  • diagnosis certainty
  • clinical decision support without human review
  • vague trait speculation dressed up as science

Analysis rubric

High-confidence / strong

Use when the output is backed by:

  • a directly observed variant or deterministic file property
  • a documented tool output
  • clear provenance to file, region, and command

Plausible

Use when the result depends on:

  • an accepted but non-deterministic scoring method
  • incomplete external references
  • a pipeline stage that still needs manual review

Hypothesis

Use when the result is only a lead worth follow-up.

Examples:

  • weak trait implication
  • incomplete annotation support
  • unresolved build ambiguity
  • provisional panel hit without verification

Unsupported

Use when the system lacks enough evidence or the claim is outside scope.

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.
