n8n-pilot: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

n8n-pilot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from AI-agents-incubator/n8n-pilot. It costs 2,965 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for a coding-agent framework built around Python utilities, automatic triggers, and separate Claude and Codex agents sharing state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize sessions, run background protocol tasks, detect completed work, and return structured JSON results.
Why use it?
It gives the agents a defined startup and completion process while reducing unnecessary terminal output.

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 B, and why

n8n-pilot 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 5d 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.

CLAUDE.md — AI Agent Instructions

Framework: Claude Code Starter v4.0.2 Type: Meta-framework extending Claude Code capabilities


Architecture: Python Framework Core + Silent Mode Protocols

NEW in v4.0.0: Dual-agent architecture (Claude + Codex) with shared state contract and additive adapters.

Previous versions:

  • v2.4.1-v2.5.1: Modular protocol files (5-6 min, verbose output)
  • v2.6.0: Optimized protocols (15-30s, compact output)
  • v2.7.0: True silent mode (bash background tasks)

Why Python utility:

  • Bash = 10 separate commands = terminal spam (task notifications)
  • Python = 1 command, structured JSON output, true silent execution
  • Faster: 359ms vs minutes (1000x+ improvement)
  • Better: parallel execution, easy debugging, cross-platform

Protocol Files:

  • .claude/protocols/cold-start-silent.md — Invisible session initialization
  • .claude/protocols/completion-silent.md — Invisible sprint finalization
  • .claude/protocols/auto-triggers.md — Automatic task completion detection

Python Utility:

  • src/framework-core/main.py — CLI entry point
  • python3 src/framework-core/main.py cold-start — Execute all tasks
  • Returns JSON to stdout (AI parses, user sees nothing)
  • Logs to .claude/logs/framework-core/

Key improvements in v4.0.0:

  • Zero terminal noise: JSON output instead of task notifications
  • 1000x faster: 359ms vs minutes execution time
  • True silent mode: User sees NOTHING unless error/confirmation needed
  • Parallel execution: Python threading for all tasks
  • Cross-platform: Works on Windows native (no WSL)
  • Easy debugging: Proper code structure vs bash scripts

Triggers

"start", "начать": → Execute Cold Start Protocol (silent mode)

Manual Completion: "/fi", "заверши", "завершить", "finish": → Execute Completion Protocol (silent mode)

Auto-Trigger Detection (NEW in v2.7.0): Framework automatically detects task completion and triggers Completion Protocol:

Explicit keywords (instant trigger):

  • "готово", "сделано", "завершил", "закончил", "done", "completed"
  • Framework runs Completion automatically (or asks once, based on config)

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.
