What is flowhawk CLAUDE.md?

A repository instruction file that tells Claude Code how to orient itself, read project documentation, follow Decapod rules, and start work safely.

Use it as an entry point for working in a Decapod-managed repository, including reading configuration and using the documented commands.

It gives an AI coding assistant the project's operating rules and context before it changes code or runs tools.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00652	$0.00652
Opus 5.5	$0.00261	$0.00261
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00130	$0.00130
Haiku 4.5	$0.00065	$0.00065

Security

Grade A, and why

flowhawk 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.

CLAUDE.md - Agent Entrypoint

You are working in a Decapod-managed repository. See AGENTS.md for the universal contract.

Orientation & Documentation

Run decapod docs ingest before using Decapod beyond help/version checks.
Use decapod docs command output instead of guessing command arguments.
Treat Decapod errors as recovery instructions.
Respect repo-local config policy and workspace boundaries.
Do not bypass Decapod boundaries to appear productive.

Project Context

Read .decapod/config.toml before planning; it captures project name, summary, architecture, primary languages, and entrypoint preferences.
Treat .decapod/config.toml as human-editable project context. You may update it when user intent or project direction changes.
Read .decapod/OVERRIDE.md when present; it is the repo-local place for constitution overrides.
Do not mutate Decapod-owned state under .decapod/ directly; use Decapod CLI surfaces for generated specs, data, workspaces, and sessions.

Quick Start

# Smart bootstrap: only install/init if a newer version is available
(decapod capabilities --format json | grep -q '"is_latest":true') || (cargo install decapod && decapod init --proof)
decapod docs ingest && decapod validate && decapod session acquire
decapod rpc --op agent.init
decapod workspace status
decapod todo add "<task>" && decapod todo claim --id <task-id>
decapod infer orientation --task-id <task-id>
decapod workspace ensure
cd .decapod/workspaces/<your-worktree>
decapod constitution get core/DECAPOD
decapod rpc --op context.resolve

Control-Plane First

decapod capabilities --format json
decapod constitution search --query "<problem>"
decapod data schema --deterministic

Operating Mode

Use Docker git workspaces and execute in .decapod/workspaces/*. Call decapod workspace status at startup.
Claim a Decapod todo before decapod workspace ensure, decapod workspace ensure --container, or any container run.
request elevated permissions before Docker/container workspace commands.
.decapod files are accessed only via decapod CLI. Read .decapod/config.toml and .decapod/OVERRIDE.md for context.
DECAPOD_SESSION_PASSWORD is required for session-scoped operations.
Read canonical router: decapod constitution get core/DECAPOD. Reference docs/PLAYBOOK, capabilities, or context.scope RPC.

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.
