What is claude-shadow CLAUDE.md?

A repository guide for Claude Code work on ShadowAI, a voice-first assistant ecosystem. It describes an Android app with Android Auto, Wear OS, and Google TV support, a Python computer companion, and a Claude Code plugin.

Use it when navigating or modifying the ShadowAI Android app, shared native libraries, wearable or TV support, the computer bridge, or the Claude Code plugin.

It gives agents an overview of the project's components and where they live. This helps them understand which part of the system a change belongs to before editing it.

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	$0.02332	$0.02332
Opus 5.5	$0.00933	$0.00933
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00466	$0.00466
Haiku 4.5	$0.00233	$0.00233

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-shadow 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 1mo 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.

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.
