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

AmbyKit 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.

What it actually says

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code — notes for the AmbyKit repo

The shared, tool-neutral guidance is in @AGENTS.md above (imported). This file adds only Claude-Code-specific notes. Claude Code does not read AGENTS.md natively — the @AGENTS.md import on the first line is the bridge, so keep it there.

Claude-specific

  • The AmbyKit workflow is available here as slash commands under /amby.* (e.g. /amby.specify, /amby.design, /amby.plan, /amby.tasks). These live in .claude/commands/amby.*.md and are generated from src/prompts/ — edit the neutral prompt, not the command file, then ambykit sync.
  • When you finish a nontrivial change, run npm run typecheck and npm test before committing.
  • Keep this repo self-hosted: after changing src/templates/ or src/prompts/, regenerate the repo's own tool files with ambykit sync (once the CLI exists) so .claude/ stays current.
Changes

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.
