br8n: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

br8n CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from anthonysuherli/br8n. It costs 6,408 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for br8n, a tool that captures a developer’s work context and creates a short resume card after interruptions. It documents the project’s design principles and evidence requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or documenting br8n, especially its background context capture, interruption recovery, and related messaging.
Why use it?
It helps agents preserve the project’s intended non-blocking behavior and avoid repeating unsupported claims in documentation or launch copy.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is anthonysuherli/br8n's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on br8n 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 br8n 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 A, and why

br8n 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 383 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

br8n

Context-capture and resume engine — cuts the context-rebuild tax after an interruption by capturing developer intent and replaying it as a 30-second resume card.

On the "9.5 minutes" figure: it appears in the README, the site hero, and skills/pickup/SKILL.md, but nothing in this repo sources it — docs/launch/ws6 concedes it "is an assumption." The sourced numbers are ~23 minutes to refocus after an interruption (Gloria Mark, UC Irvine) and up to 45 for complex code. ws1 sets the rule: cite the 23-minute figure, don't invent ROI claims. Fix or source the 9.5 before using it in launch copy.

Design philosophy

Non-blocking by default. br8n must never hijack the user's turn to do its own work. The user's flow is sacred; br8n's work happens around it. Every feature that isn't a direct response to a user command should be built to this principle:

  • Work in the background. Context collection (seeding, enrichment, distillation, graph population) runs as background agents — Agent(run_in_background) for orchestrated multi-step work, fire-and-forget hooks for cheap structural passes. Prefer agent teams (parallel subagents, each owning one slice — repo crawl, git history, web enrichment, schema drafting) over one long serial pass, so the wall-clock cost is the slowest slice, not the sum. Precedents: the activity-KG fire-and-forget population on capture (api/capture.py), the first-run-init background subagent (docs/plans/2026-06-01-br8n-first-run-init-design.md).
  • Gate decisions at turn boundaries, never mid-flow. Anything that genuinely needs the user — schema creation / KG ontology co-design, creating a new KB, a destructive or expensive choice — waits until the background work is ready, then surfaces a single one-line offer at the next turn boundary ("Schema draft is ready — set it up?"). Never a modal mid-edit, never a blocking prompt the user didn't ask for. The user opts in to the interactive step; until they do, br8n stays quiet and keeps working.
  • Best-effort, fails silent. Background work never breaks the user's session. A failed seed, an unreachable backend, a graph error — all degrade to "do nothing visible" and fall through to an on-demand recovery path. Fail closed, stay invisible.
  • Offer once, then go quiet. A gated offer that's declined or ignored is not re-raised every launch; stamp it and move on (the capability stays available on demand). Don't nag.

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.
