ai-sdlc CLAUDE.md

ai-sdlc CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from ai-sdlc-framework/ai-sdlc. It costs 13,939 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for AI-SDLC, a framework that automates and governs software development workflows across branches, reviews, and pipeline stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on AI-SDLC branches, rebasing pull requests, resolving workflow-related conflicts, or changing its plugin, pipeline, orchestrator, or governance code.
Why use it?
They define the repository’s workflow for keeping feature branches current and preserving a linear Git history. They also describe how its tools handle rebasing, conflicts, attestations, and verification.

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

ai-sdlc CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 today.

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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- `claude` — **(DEFAULT since AISDLC-352)** shells out to `claude -p` via `child_process.spawn`. **Use this for autonomous tick from a shell** (cron/daemon/sidecar context where no slash command body is around). Billing:

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI-SDLC Project Instructions

Scope: AI-SDLC is a full autonomous SDLC framework — autonomous orchestrator (RFC-0015), cross-harness review (RFC-0010 §13), decision engine (RFC-0011 DoR), operator TUI (RFC-0023), Pattern-C worktree isolation, and declarative governance. The ai-sdlc-plugin/ package is the Claude Code plugin pillar; pipeline-cli/ is the Step 0-13 pipeline runtime; orchestrator/ is the CLI and agent runner layer.

Git Flow

  • Always rebase feature branches onto main; never merge main in.
  • Update branch: git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main, then git push --force-with-lease.
  • Never gh api pulls/N/update-branch with merge method. Keep linear history.
  • /ai-sdlc rebase <pr> automates mechanical conflicts (test additions to same describe, prettier drift) and re-signs the attestation only when contentHash changed. Escalates semantic conflicts, modify-vs-delete, verification failures, and 3-attempt iteration cap. Refuses force-push to main/master. CHANGELOG.md conflicts should not arise on feature branches — if a rebase surfaces one, remove the CHANGELOG change from the feature branch rather than merging both sides (AISDLC-401).

CI marker hygiene

GitHub Actions silently skips ALL workflows when ANY commit body contains [skip ci], [ci skip], [no ci], [skip actions], or [actions skip] (substring, case-insensitive). Use the paren-quoted form (skip ci marker) in commit messages. Backtick-wrapping does NOT defeat the parser. scripts/check-skip-ci-marker.sh enforces on push.

Branches & Commits

  • Branches: feat/<desc>, fix/<desc>, or ai-sdlc/issue-<n>.
  • Conventional commits (feat:, fix:, test:, docs:, chore:, style:).
  • Include Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>.

PRs

  • Never merge PRs — only humans merge.
  • Never close issues or PRs. Never force-push to main/master.
  • Dismiss stale reviews only with documented reason (truncation, API errors).
  • auto-enable-auto-merge.yml sets --auto --squash on same-repo PRs (AISDLC-400: merge queue dropped 2026-05-23; explicit --squash ensures PRs always land as one commit on main regardless of repo-default drift). Setting --auto is NOT merging. PRs merge directly once ai-sdlc/pr-ready + Backlog Drift required checks pass — no merge-queue serialization, no update-branch CI re-run. AISDLC-398's content-addressed envelopes (headBlobSha-based, base-independent) eliminate v4-kick permanently. See docs/operations/merge-without-queue.md for the full flow and rollback procedure.

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.
