agenda: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agenda CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from agentculture/agenda. It costs 245 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A starter instruction file for agenda, an agent that tracks GitHub issues, priorities, blockers, and next actions. It is a seed that must be expanded with an initialization command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize agenda's full instructions with /init before using the agent for work-state tracking.
Why use it?
It confirms the required instruction file exists, but it does not yet contain a complete prompt tailored to the agent.

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

agenda 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 8d 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

CLAUDE.md — seed / bootstrap placeholder

This is a self-initializing seed, not a finished runtime prompt. Run /init (or describe the agent's domain to your AI assistant) to re-initialize this file into a full runtime prompt, using the description below and the scaffolded repo as context.

Agent

This repository hosts the agenda agent.

Description

Work-state tracking for GitHub issues, priorities, blockers, and next actions.

Re-init instruction

This file is a seed. To expand it into your full runtime prompt:

  1. Open this repo in Claude Code (or your preferred AI assistant).
  2. Run /init — the assistant will read the repo, incorporate the description above, and replace this seed with a complete CLAUDE.md.
  3. Commit the result.

Until you run /init, agenda satisfies the steward doctor prompt-file-present and backend-consistency invariants (a CLAUDE.md exists and culture.yaml declares backend: claude) but the prompt is not yet tailored to this agent's domain.

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.
