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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00445 $0.00445
Opus 5.5 $0.00178 $0.00178

Security

Grade A, and why

agentic-os 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

CLAUDE.md — for Claude Code working on this repo

This is a pointer file. The full developer-facing instructions live in AGENTS.md. Read that first.

Quick context for Claude Code

  • What: Next.js 15 web app that turns Hermes Agent into an AI-native operating system for solo founders.
  • Audience: End users install via Hermes (> install agentic-os from github.com/aporb/agentic-os); they don't read this file. THIS file is for AI agents helping develop the codebase.
  • Source of truth: wiki/draft-agentic-os-spec.md for product, wiki/draft-skill-pack-design.md for skills, wiki/draft-build-plan.md for execution plan, wiki/methodology.md for philosophy.

Voice and vocabulary (strict)

  • USE: leverage, own, compete, coordination overhead, second brain, pipeline, runway, retention
  • AVOID: productivity, efficient, automate, seamless, AI workforce, AI company, founding cohort, named-character mascots, em-dash abuse, hedging language ("we think," "you might find"), corporate jargon

Apply these rules in:

  • README, AGENTS.md, any user-facing copy
  • All shipped skill files in hermes/skills/
  • UI strings, button labels, empty states

Don't

  • Don't add a chat surface to the Next.js app — Hermes already has chat
  • Don't introduce paid search APIs (Tavily / Perplexity / Bing) — use the ddgr → gogcli → browser cascade in lib/search.ts
  • Don't add paid-tier feature flags — Kodax features live in a separate private repo
  • Don't push to git remote unless the user asks
  • Don't anthropomorphize with named character agents — the persona system is user-customizable

Working scripts

npm install
npm run dev            # localhost:18443
npm run typecheck      # tsc --noEmit
npm run build          # production build smoke test

See AGENTS.md for full conventions.

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.
