What is agentindex CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file that explains how to work on the Nerq/ZARQ system. It directs the coding agent to read the project’s operating board and keep that board updated after each session.

Use it when starting work in the repository, checking current program status, following project conventions, or recording completed work and decisions.

It prevents the agent from changing a continuously running system without understanding its current state, active work, decisions, and required handoffs.

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	$0.03519	$0.03519
Opus 5.5	$0.01408	$0.01408
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00704	$0.00704
Haiku 4.5	$0.00352	$0.00352

Security

Grade B, and why

agentindex CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md -- Orientation for Claude sessions working on Nerq/ZARQ

Read this file first. It is the map to everything else.

Then read ~/agentindex/PROGRAM.md — the operating board: everything running (timers+guards), in flight, staged, held on Anders, the decision log, and the north-star values. It is the single source of truth for program state.

STANDING RULE — the board is not optional. Every Code session MUST end by updating PROGRAM.md: move status (RUNNING/IN PROGRESS/STAGED/HELD/FROZEN-TEST/DONE), log any signed decision in the Decision Log with today's date, reorder the staged queue, refresh north-star values, and bump the "Last board update" date. A session that changed program state but didn't update the board isn't finished. The heartbeat flags the board as a silent-death class if it goes >8 days untouched.

If there is a docs/session-handoff-<date>.md file newer than this one, read that first — it contains the most recent session's context and specific tasks for you to pick up.

The critical fact you must know before touching anything

Nerq is operated 24/7 by an autonomous AI agent named Buzz, running inside openclaw (~/.openclaw/). Buzz was configured by a previous Claude instance. The system has three participants:

Anders Nilsson -- strategic decisions
Buzz -- 24/7 operations, health monitoring, self-healing
Claude (you) -- advisory, building, fixing

When things happen in the system that neither you nor Anders did, it is probably Buzz. Do not assume you know what Buzz is doing without reading its config.

Required reading before operational work: docs/buzz-context.md

What is this system?

ZARQ (zarq.ai) is a crypto risk intelligence platform -- "Moody's for crypto". Trust Score, Distance-to-Default, crash probability.
Nerq (nerq.ai) is an AI asset search engine indexing 5M+ AI assets (204K agents & tools, 4.7M models & datasets) with Trust Scores.
Both run on the same FastAPI backend on one Mac Studio M1 Ultra (64 GB RAM).

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.

agentindex CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository agentidx/agentindex (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,519 tokens to every session, about $0.0141 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
