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

threadbase 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

Threadbase Instructions for Claude Code

  • Read .ai/rules.md before starting implementation work.
  • Read .ai/generated/index.md first to locate the right files quickly.
  • If .ai/generated/index.md is missing or empty, generate it from scratch using .ai/prompts/generate_index.md before meaningful implementation work.
  • Read .ai/generated/context.md when the task needs broader architecture, active constraints, or recent cross-cutting changes.
  • If .ai/generated/context.md is missing or empty, generate it from scratch using .ai/prompts/generate_context.md before meaningful implementation work.
  • Keep generated files compact and open specific memory files on demand.
  • Treat .ai/memory/* as authoritative.
  • Record meaningful changes, decisions, requirements, and issues in small markdown files.
  • Never store secrets in Threadbase memory.
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.
