ab-method CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for ab-method, a workflow system for Claude Code and Codex. It turns a problem into a domain-specific plan, then runs test-driven missions—small tasks guided by tests—or an autonomous goal loop with a verifiable stopping condition.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to plan coding problems, run reviewed test-driven tasks one at a time, or run an autonomous goal-based workflow.
Why use it?
They define how to find the right project documentation and how work should resume, plan, test, and stop with evidence.

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

ab-method 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

  • you should always fallback to the .ab-method/structure/index.yaml to see where to read from files so always insist in the markdown files to look at that file first to know where to look and resume
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.
