ceo-agent-workflow: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ceo-agent-workflow CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from alessio-locatelli/ceo-agent-workflow. It costs 2,163 tokens per session, scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for a file-based framework that creates an operating setup for technical startups using Claude Code. They explain the bootstrap project, its templates, settings, commands, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, or creating projects with the CEO Agent Workflow bootstrap script.
Why use it?
They give the agent the project-specific rules needed to work on the framework without confusing the bootstrap source project with a project it generates.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is alessio-locatelli/ceo-agent-workflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ceo-agent-workflow 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 ceo-agent-workflow 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 B, and why

ceo-agent-workflow 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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 232 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Overview

This is the bootstrap project for CEO Agent Workflow — a file-driven agent orchestration framework that enables technical startups to run their operations through Claude Code. This repository contains the initialization script and templates that generate new CEO agent framework projects.

Important distinction: This repository is NOT a generated project. It contains:

  • src/init_startup.sh — The bootstrap script that creates new projects
  • Default agent definitions, templates, and framework files
  • Pre-commit hooks and CI/CD configuration for the bootstrap project itself

When users run ./src/init_startup.sh my-startup, it creates a separate directory with the complete framework structure.

Settings Files

Two settings files exist with different purposes:

  • .claude/settings.local.json (this bootstrap project): Development configuration for working on the bootstrap project itself. Uses .local.json convention to indicate machine-specific settings not meant to be copied to generated projects.

  • src/templates/_claude/settings.json (copied to generated projects): Runtime configuration for generated CEO framework projects. Contains MCP permissions for Obsidian vault access.

Development Commands

Testing the Bootstrap Script

# Create a test project
./src/init_startup.sh test-project

# Verify the generated structure
cd test-project && tree -a -I .git

# Test in Claude Code (from test-project directory)
/company/run-ceo

Pre-commit Hooks

Hooks will run automatically on commit. The hooks enforce:

  • Trailing whitespace removal
  • End-of-file fixes
  • YAML/JSON/TOML validation
  • Markdown formatting (via Prettier)
  • Link checking (lychee)
  • Typo detection (codespell, typos)
  • Secret detection (detect-secrets)
  • Commit message conventions (gitlint)

Linting

Always run shellcheck <path/to/script.sh> and resolve all warnings.

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.
