litellm CLAUDE.md

litellm CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from BerriAI/litellm. It costs 3,520 tokens per session, scanned C, original, no licence file.

Instructions for LiteLLM that tell the coding agent to think before changing code and to prefer simple solutions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on LiteLLM code while following a pause-and-plan approach and keeping implementations simple.
Why use it?
They give the agent basic guidance for making changes in the LiteLLM project without unnecessary complexity.

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

litellm CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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 2d 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.

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

CI supply-chain safety: Never pipe a remote script into a shell (`curl ... | bash`, `wget ... | sh`); download the artifact to a file, verify its SHA-256 checksum, then install. Pin every external tool to a specific vers

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Never use `pytest` commands or the like as "Screenshots / Proof of Fix". We prefer curl'ing a live proxy instance running on localhost:4000 (I like to run it with `python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py --config litellm/proxy

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
