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 C, and why

wrangler CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 7d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Wrangler - Project Context for AI Agents

This document provides essential context for AI agents (Claude Code, etc.) working on the wrangler project.


Project Overview

Wrangler is a comprehensive project governance framework and skills library for AI coding assistants. Its primary goal is to establish and maintain perfect alignment between you (the AI assistant) and your human partner through systematic governance.

Core Value Proposition

Wrangler ensures you and your human partner are of one mind about:

  • Design principles (via Constitution documents)
  • Strategic direction (via Roadmap files)
  • Tactical execution (via tracked issues and specifications)
  • Development workflows (via proven skills and patterns)

Key Components

  1. Project Governance System

    • Constitutional principles for consistent decision-making
    • Hierarchical planning (strategic roadmaps -> tactical execution)
    • Systematic issue and specification tracking
    • Automated governance verification and maintenance
  2. Skills Library (49 skills)

    • Proven techniques, patterns, and workflows
    • Covers testing, debugging, planning, code review, governance, git hooks, design systems
    • Mandatory when applicable - no rationalizing away
    • Discoverable and composable
  3. Git Hooks Enforcement Framework

    • Pre-commit, pre-push, commit-msg hooks
    • Automated testing and code quality enforcement
    • Bypass mechanism for TDD RED phase (humans only)
    • Two installation patterns (direct or version-controlled)
  4. Built-in MCP Server

    • 16 tools (11 issue management + 5 session orchestration)
    • Markdown-based storage (git-tracked)
    • Automatic workspace initialization
    • Full-text search and metadata queries
  5. Template System

    • Templates stored in skill directories (skill-local pattern)
    • Governance file templates (Constitution, Roadmap, etc.)
    • Issue and specification templates
    • Directory README templates
    • Referenced directly from skills, not copied

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.
