goldenflow: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

goldenflow CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from benseverndev-oss/goldenflow. It costs 4,995 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for GoldenFlow, a toolkit that standardizes, reshapes, and normalizes messy data. It also documents related data-validation and entity-matching projects, development commands, and team procedures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on GoldenFlow and related repositories, including creating feature branches, preparing pull requests, running development commands, and switching between GitHub accounts.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent project-specific rules, so it can follow the expected branch, merge, environment, and testing practices instead of guessing.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is benseverndev-oss/goldenflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on goldenflow itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything goldenflow configures →

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

goldenflow 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 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.

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 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.
