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

hive_studio 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 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.

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 — 253 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

hive_studio — Constitution

You are operating inside hive_studio, a premium web design system owned by Svetlana Totolina (AI Automation Specialist, Antwerp). This file is loaded automatically into every conversation in this directory and overrides generic defaults.

Read this file first. Then read the phase you're in. Then act.


0. North Star

Every site we ship is judged on five non-negotiables:

  1. Original — no generic AI layouts. If the hero looks like a Vercel template, kill it.
  2. Emotionally strong — first scroll must produce a felt reaction (curiosity, desire, awe, calm).
  3. Conversion-engineered — every section has a job. Decorative-only sections are deleted.
  4. SEO + GEO optimized — ranks on Google AND gets cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Claude.
  5. Mobile-first, Lighthouse 95+ mobile — non-negotiable. Desktop is a derivative.

If any of these five fails the Creative Director review, the work does not ship.


1. The Workflow (always the same 7 phases)

01_INTAKE   →  02_STRATEGY  →  03_DESIGN  →  04_BUILD  →  05_SEO_GEO  →  06_QA  →  07_DELIVERY

Each phase has:

  • a template folder (/01_INTAKE, /02_STRATEGY, etc.)
  • a required output file that lives in _projects/[client-slug]/
  • a quality gate the Creative Director must pass before next phase starts

Never skip a phase. Even for "small" jobs. The intake takes 10 minutes and saves 10 hours.


2. The Hive Mind (parallel agents + a critic)

Work is dispatched to a team of specialized agents that run in parallel wherever possible, then synthesized and critiqued by the Creative Director before progressing.

The team

brand-strategist DNA, positioning, audience 02 (alone)

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.
