Aegis: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Aegis CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from antropos17/Aegis. It costs 2,463 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Aegis, a desktop app that monitors AI agents on a local computer. It documents the app's commands, checks, and separate verification counts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Aegis code, running its build and test commands, checking GitHub's required checks, or creating its Electron installer.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a shared checklist for building, formatting, testing, packaging, and verifying changes without mixing up different measurements.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is antropos17/Aegis's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Aegis 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 Aegis 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 C, and why

Aegis CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 6d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

only the project-level settings.json `deny` (rm -rf, git push --force, .env reads) is a hard floor.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AEGIS — Independent AI Oversight Layer

Electron 43 + Svelte 5 (runes) + Vite 7. Privacy-first AI agent monitor. Version is not quoted here — it goes stale the moment it is bumped: node -p "require('./package.json').version" Landing: aegisprotect.vercel.app | Demo: aegis-demo-ten.vercel.app

Commands

npm run build:renderer # Vite build (MUST pass before commit) npm run lint # ESLint npm run format # Prettier npm test # Vitest — the suite prints its own counts; do not copy them here npm run verify:gate # Injection proof: 4 mutants (witness gate + birth-time freshness) must go red npm run verify:seq-gate # Injection proof: 4 sequence-engine mutants (order, expiry, group key, caps) must go red npm run counts:check # Every counted fact derived from the tree; a stale declaration is red npm run dist # Electron-builder NSIS installer

Verification — three different counts, do not merge them

5 required status contexts are what GitHub enforces on master. Proven with gh api repos/antropos17/Aegis/branches/master/protection --jq '.required_status_checks' → contexts [build, lint, svelte-check, test, audit], strict: true (branch must be up to date before merge). No rulesets add more: /rulesets and /rules/branches/master return []. A context is a JOB, not a command — lint and svelte-check run two commands each.

10 verification commands live inside those 5 jobs (.github/workflows/ci.yml):

required context commands the job runs, after npm ci
build npm run build:renderer
lint npm run format:check, then npm run lint
svelte-check npm run typecheck, then npm run typecheck:svelte
test npm run test:coverage, npm run verify:gate, npm run verify:seq-gate, then npm run counts:check
audit npm audit --audit-level=high --omit=dev

format:check is a STEP of lint, and verify:gate, verify:seq-gate and counts:check are STEPS of test — none is a job, and none is a context of its own.

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.
