agentdeck: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agentdeck CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from agentdecksdk/agentdeck. It costs 2,000 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for AgentDeck, a runtime for building and running workflows that use multiple AI agents. It covers the project's design, code, architecture, testing, and verification rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing AgentDeck code or reviewing its structure. It helps agents follow the required coding standards, runtime contracts, tests, dependencies, and repository conventions.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents one shared set of rules to follow, reducing inconsistent changes and missed checks. It also explains where different project decisions are recorded.

This is agentdecksdk/agentdeck's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentdeck 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 agentdeck 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

agentdeck 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AgentDeck

AgentDeck is a declarative runtime harness for multi-agent systems and workflows (OpenAI Agents SDK, plus AgentDeck-native @tool/@workflow).

Core standards: docs/engineering/: the linked suite of binding engineering law:

  1. docs/engineering/principles.md: Product philosophy, and the standard a feature is held to (Q1-Q7).
  2. docs/engineering/coding-standards.md: Binding front door for every code change.
  3. docs/engineering/coding-agents.md: Mandatory rules for coding agents.
  4. docs/engineering/documentation.md: Binding for every page under docs-site/content/.
  5. Specialized standards: architecture.md, runtime-contracts.md, testing.md, dependencies.md, repository-policy.md, import-boundaries.md.
  6. docs/patterns/: the project's taste as real good/bad pairs. Read the file for your concern before writing; match the good side.

Every file under docs/ declares its status on line 3, from four words, so law is distinguishable from archaeology without opening it:

Status Means Where
Binding a change that violates it is wrong all of docs/engineering/ and docs/patterns/, the 16 files above
Design of record live rulings; amend it rather than contradicting it docs/design/ including protocols/, and docs/delivery/, whose plans are cited by ruling number from tests and source
Reference true, not law docs/brand/README.md
History a state the project has left. Usually it is deleted instead: git is the archive, and #734 deleted the eight that nothing read nothing, currently

A version in a History title is that document's own subject, not a stale claim about this repository.

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.
