agentskel: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agentskel CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ahmadulhoq/agentskel. It costs 121 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for the agentskel framework, which gives coding agents rules for handling development tasks. It requires the agent to load the project's session-start instructions before responding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting Claude Code sessions, following agentskel workflows, planning before changes, verifying work, recording task completion, and applying Git practices.
Why use it?
It helps Claude Code begin with the project's context and follow its required workflows instead of acting without the team's rules.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

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

agentskel 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 3d 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

agentskel Framework (shell/markdown) — Claude Code Instructions

Session Start — MANDATORY

Do NOT respond to any user request until you have read and followed .agents/skills/session-start/SKILL.md.

Read and follow AGENTS.md for all rules, skills, workflows, and memory references.

Claude Code specifics:

  • Core rules are auto-loaded from .claude/rules/.
  • Skills are also discoverable via .claude/skills/ stubs.
  • When a skill or workflow name is mentioned, you can execute it as a Claude Code skill.
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.
