What is dotai CLAUDE.md?

A set of instructions for Dot AI projects that explains how to name files and sections and classify their content.

It helps create IDs for files and sections, organize folders by purpose, and label requirements, designs, implementation work, tests, fixes, and other tasks.

Consistent names and section types make project documents easier for people and coding assistants to find and reference.

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	$0.00814	$0.00814
Opus 5.5	$0.00326	$0.00326
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00163	$0.00163
Haiku 4.5	$0.00081	$0.00081

Security

Grade A, and why

dotai 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.

ID Naming Convention

Each file and section will follow this ID structure:

Files: {folder-prefix}-{file-name}-{sequence} (e.g., CTX-project-conventions-001)
Sections: {file-id}:{section-type}-{sequence} (e.g., CTX-project-conventions-001:REQ-001)

Folder Prefixes

CFG: 0-ai-config
CTX: 1-context
ARCH: 2-technical-design
DEV: 3-development (implementation tasks)
PRD: 3-development (product requirements)
QA: 4-acceptence-reports

Section Types

REQ: Requirement
SPEC: Specification
IMPL: Implementation
TEST: Test
VAL: Validation
FEAT: Feature
BUG: Bug fix
CHORE: Maintenance task
TASK: General task
STORY: User story
EPIC: Collection of related stories
SPIKE: Research or exploration task

Example Usage

A feature requirement might be referenced as:

ARCH-auth-feature-001:REQ-003 (PASS)

This references:

File: /2-technical-design/features/auth-feature.md (ID: ARCH-auth-feature-001)
Section: Requirement #3 in that file (ID: REQ-003)
Status: PASS

Implementation Guidelines

Add ID frontmatter to each file:

---
id: ARCH-auth-feature-001
created: 2025-03-15
---

Add section IDs as HTML comments or in headings:
```
## Authentication Flow 
```

Reference IDs in validation reports:

| Requirement ID | Status | Notes |
|---------------|--------|-------|
| ARCH-auth-feature-001:REQ-003 | PASS | All tests passing |
| PRD-login-feature-002:STORY-001 | PASS | Verified by QA |

ID Usage Examples

PRD-login-feature-001:STORY-002: Product requirement for login feature, story #2
DEV-authentication-001:IMPL-005: Development implementation for authentication, implementation detail #5
QA-security-report-001:TEST-003: QA security test report, test case #3

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.
