claude-prime CLAUDE.md

claude-prime CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from avibebuilder/claude-prime. It costs 1,222 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Claude Code, the coding assistant, explaining the project and how to choose useful context while working. They emphasize that the assistant has limited attention and should receive only relevant information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Describing a project, setting guidance for its files and workflows, and shaping how Claude Code selects and uses context.
Why use it?
They help keep long coding sessions focused and reduce confusion caused by too much or overly specific guidance.

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

claude-prime 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 5d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with this repository.

Project overview

A boilerplate toolkit that supercharges Claude Code with skills, commands, and workflows for agent-skill-driven development.

Context engineering philosophy

Context engineering is about curating the optimal set of tokens to maximize desired model behavior. Unlike prompt engineering (crafting perfect prompts), context engineering considers the holistic state available to the LLM at any moment.

Core Principles

1. Context is a Finite Resource

Models have limited attention budgets that degrade as context grows (context rot). Goal: find the smallest high-signal set of tokens that maximizes desired outcomes. Every token competes for attention.

2. Right-Altitude Prompting

Concrete but not hardcoded. Find the Goldilocks zone.

Too Low (Brittle) Too Vague Right Altitude
"Use Tailwind's blue-500" "Make it look good" "Use project's existing color system"
"Set font-size to 16px" "Use appropriate sizing" "Match surrounding components"

3. Avoid Railroading Claude

Claude will generally try to stick to your instructions, and because Skills are so reusable you’ll want to be careful of being too specific in your instructions. Give Claude the information it needs, but give it the flexibility to adapt to the situation

4. Don’t State the Obvious

Claude Code knows a lot about your codebase, and Claude knows a lot about coding, including many default opinions. If you’re publishing a skill that is primarily about knowledge, try to focus on information that pushes Claude out of its normal way of thinking.

5. Anti-Convergence Patterns

LLMs default to high-probability outputs. Counter by listing what to avoid, suggesting uncommon alternatives, varying examples, and breaking monotony.

6. Just-in-Time Context Retrieval

Don't load everything upfront. Maintain lightweight identifiers (file paths, URLs) and retrieve dynamically at runtime.

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.

claude-prime CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository avibebuilder/claude-prime (119 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,222 tokens to every session, about $0.0061 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
