phantom-secrets CLAUDE.md

phantom-secrets CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from ashlrai/phantom-secrets. It costs 1,137 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for Phantom, a Rust command-line tool and local proxy that replaces safe placeholder tokens with real secrets before forwarding requests over HTTPS. It stores secrets in the operating system keychain or an encrypted file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop, build, test, lint, format, run, and debug the Phantom CLI, secret vault, token system, and local HTTP reverse proxy.
Why use it?
Applications and agents can use tokens without exposing the underlying credentials directly in their configuration or requests. The guide also defines the commands and strict checks needed to build and maintain the tool.

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

phantom-secrets 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 yesterday.

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.

Quick Reference

# Build
~/.cargo/bin/cargo build

# Test
~/.cargo/bin/cargo test

# Lint (must pass with zero warnings)
~/.cargo/bin/cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings

# Format
~/.cargo/bin/cargo fmt --all

# Run CLI
~/.cargo/bin/cargo run -- <command>

Note: ~/.cargo/bin/ prefix is needed because cargo is not in PATH on this machine.

Architecture

Modular Rust workspace with a shipped secret-protection product and separate fail-closed governed-execution foundations:

  • phantom-core — Config (.phantom.toml), .env parsing/rewriting, phantom token generation (256-bit CSPRNG, phm_ prefix), error types
  • phantom-vaultVaultBackend trait with OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, Windows Credential Manager) and encrypted file fallback. Argon2id parameters hardened to OWASP balanced (m=64 MiB, t=3, p=1) with legacy-default fallback for older vaults
  • phantom-proxy — HTTP reverse proxy on 127.0.0.1. It authenticates and matches exact routes, discards client control of the route auth header, injects only the route-owned vault value there, and forwards client bodies byte-for-byte under a hard size cap. Client headers/bodies never resolve phm_ tokens. Uses hyper for server and reqwest for outbound HTTPS; response streaming/SSE is preserved through scrubbing.
  • phantom-cliclap-based CLI for init, proxy execution, diagnostics, sync, teams, audit, validation, provider design foundations, and trusted-terminal workspace setup. Live provider issuance/rotation is hard-denied before credential/network access in 0.7.5. Use phantom --help as the canonical command inventory. Plaintext JSON export is disabled; reveal requires an attached terminal and exact typed confirmation.
  • phantom-mcp — MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex. Uses rmcp 1.3 SDK and stdio transport. Exposes core vault/diagnostic/cloud/team tools plus advanced audit, validation, rotation, expiry, leak-incident, and compliance workflows. The exact catalog is declared in crates/phantom-mcp/src/server.rs.
  • governed-execution foundationsphantom-workspace provides the active value-blind Unix setup transaction. phantom-authority, phantom-locus-contract, phantom-broker, phantom-runtime, phantom-session, and phantom-evidence remain fail closed for production execution.

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.
