yet-another-agentic-chat: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

yet-another-agentic-chat CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex from amyodov/yet-another-agentic-chat. It costs 7,387 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Yet Another Agentic Chat, a system where separate processes exchange messages through named conversation channels. They define the project’s terminology, layout, and verified facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the project’s message routing, channel membership, process roles, backend behavior, or documentation of current features.
Why use it?
They give an AI coding agent the exact meanings of terms such as participant, channel, backend, and routing ID. This reduces misunderstandings when changing or debugging the messaging system.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: PreToolUse hook event, but also reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is amyodov/yet-another-agentic-chat's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on yet-another-agentic-chat 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 yet-another-agentic-chat 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

yet-another-agentic-chat 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 3d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 415 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

See README.md for what YAAC does. This file is about working on it.

README.md also tracks features — what is in the current version and what is planned. Update its Status section whenever you ship or defer something; it is the only record, as there is no separate roadmap or issue tracker.

Vocabulary

Term Meaning
frontend The MCP server: tool definitions, no state.
backend In-process module: ZMQ sockets, inbox, roster cache.
hat Whichever backend won the bind. Confers the job of passing messages along, and nothing else.
participant Any backend on a channel, wearing the hat or not.
membership One (channel, name) a process holds. A process may hold several.
connection id A membership's routing id, returned by join_channel and used to address it.
channel A named conversation. Addressing, not isolation.
name A user-chosen name within a channel. Raw UTF-8.
routing_id ULID set as the ZMQ ROUTING_ID; zmq_routing_id on the wire.
address {name, zmq_routing_id}. How participants are named on the wire — never a bare string.

ZMQ's own words stay ZMQ's own, prefixed: zmq_routing_id, not a YAAC synonym for it.

"frontend" and "backend" are relative to the MCP tool surface, not web layers. "channel" always means a YAAC channel, never the Claude Code feature of the same name.

Layout

src/yaac/
  frontend.py   MCP tool definitions, and the tool a hook calls
  backend.py    sockets, bind election, receive loops, connection state
  hat.py        routing table, whois, roster, bounce, session directory
  protocol.py   envelope + control messages, serialization
  notices.py    each session's own WebSocket: what a watcher streams and a hook asks
  directory.py  the client side of `sessions` — who is running here, asked at the rendezvous point
  hook.py       `yaac-hook`, the program Codex runs because its hooks cannot call a tool
  wake.py       starting a turn in an idle Codex session through its app-server
  processes.py  the process tree: ancestry, and command lines, on all three OSes
  chat.py       the terminal client's entry point; imports textual only once it knows it is there
  chat_app.py   the terminal client itself

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.
