What is kim CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file for Kim, a local AI-agent platform with a desktop interface, Python coordinator, and MCP server. It points agents to the architecture and roadmap and lists rules they must follow.

Guiding development work in the kim-pro project, including frontend, Python, Rust, MCP-server, and configuration changes.

It prevents changes in the wrong directory and protects important constraints around authentication, CSS order, Rust restarts, and sensitive files.

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	$0.00646	$0.00646
Opus 5	$0.00323	$0.00323
Sonnet 5	$0.00129	$0.00129
Haiku 4.5	$0.00065	$0.00065

Security

Grade A, and why

kim 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 4d 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

97% identical to kim AGENTS.md — 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — Kim Agent Platform (root router)

What this is

Kim is a local AI agent platform (Tauri + React frontend, Python orchestrator, MCP server). Real app root is kim-pro/. Never modify anything outside kim-pro/.

Standing constraints (never violate)

Code tab must NEVER use OpenAI auth or gpt-5.5 — only ollama cloud or browser provider.
CSS import order in desktop/src/index.css is load-bearing (cascade). Do not reorder.
System-prompt f-strings: examples inside f-strings need doubled braces {{ }}.
After any Rust change, tauri dev needs a restart (hot-reload does not apply to Rust).
Secret-file sandbox: mcp_server/config.validate_path() denies secret files (.env, .env.*, *.pem, *.key, id_rsa*, id_ed25519*, credentials, .npmrc, .pypirc) at any depth and sensitive dirs (.ssh, .aws, browser profiles, cloud SDKs, …). Don't weaken these globs/paths. Note: enforcement is filename/dir-based, not a content scanner — secrets pasted into a normally-named file are not caught.

Architecture pointer

See ARCHITECTURE.md for the full layer diagram and IPC protocol spec. See ROADMAP.md for the current work backlog and sequencing (it points at the active plan, docs/ROADMAP_TO_10.md).

Per-directory guides (load only the one you need)

Directory	Guide	What's there
`orchestrator/`	`orchestrator/CLAUDE.md`	Agent loop, providers, session store
`mcp_server/`	`mcp_server/CLAUDE.md`	50+ OS-control tools, tool registry
`desktop/src/`	`desktop/src/CLAUDE.md`	React UI, IPC event consumers
`desktop/src-tauri/`	`desktop/src-tauri/CLAUDE.md`	Rust shell, subprocess mgmt

How-to recipes

HOW_TO.md — exact minimal file sets for common change patterns.

Finding things fast

Know which file → open it directly.
Don't know → grep/find with a targeted pattern.
Never do a broad full-repo sweep as a first move.

Test commands (all four suites — cli/ is a separate crate, easy to forget)

python -m pytest tests/            # Python tests (venv required)
cd desktop && npx tsc --noEmit && npm run test  # Vitest tests
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo test # Rust tests (desktop)
cd cli && cargo test               # Rust tests (kim CLI)

After every push, confirm the remote CI run is green: gh run list --limit 1.

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.
