lumencore CLAUDE.md

lumencore CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from arclightdynamics/lumencore. It costs 230 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for LumenCore, a system that stores project knowledge and brings it back in later coding sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Activating project memory, searching past decisions and conventions, and recording useful architecture or domain information.
Why use it?
They require the agent to load relevant project memory before answering and save important discoveries, reducing repeated explanations and forgotten decisions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

lumencore 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 3d 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

LumenCore - Project Memory

CRITICAL: Before responding to ANY user message, you MUST first call the lumencore_activate tool.

This is a hard requirement - do not skip this step. Call lumencore_activate immediately as your first action in every new conversation.

This connects you to persistent project memory containing:

  • Architecture decisions
  • Code patterns and conventions
  • Domain concepts
  • Previous work and tasks

Active Memory Usage

When working on this project:

  • Search first: Before making assumptions about architecture, patterns, or past decisions, use recall to search for relevant memories
  • Store discoveries: When you learn something important about this project (a pattern, decision, or concept), use remember to save it
  • Examples of when to recall:
    • "How does authentication work here?" → recall with query "authentication"
    • "What's the database schema?" → recall with query "database schema"
    • "Any previous work on X feature?" → recall with query "X feature"
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.
