kernel-claude CLAUDE.md

kernel-claude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from ariaxhan/kernel-claude. It costs 6,181 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of kernel-claude AGENTS.md, MIT.

Project instructions for Claude Code that add persistent memory, multi-agent coordination, and experiments to test which rules help.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide codebase inspection, memory recall, task delegation, and checks before making higher-risk changes.
Why use it?
They help the agent retain useful discoveries and choose safer ways to handle changes based on risk and scope.

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

kernel-claude CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Location: _meta/agentdb/agent.db Use concrete task nouns, library/subsystem names, discovered paths/symbols, and exact errors or desired outcomes. Recall again after repo inspection reveals better terms, when scope or hypothesis changes, and whenever a new failure appears.

Tier by reversibility × silence × blast radius. File count is only a weak hint. Ambiguous = assume higher tier. Recall from AgentDB at every tier. Implement inline by default; delegate to agents only when the work is heavy and file-disjoint, explicitly requested, or needs independent verification. IF tier >= 2: run /kernel:tearitapart before implementation.

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.
