vulyk: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

vulyk CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Black-coffe/vulyk. It costs 1,884 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for VULYK, a system that coordinates Claude Code work through a planner and delegated tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the Black-coffe/vulyk project so agent behavior follows its constitution, delegation model, and complexity rules.
Why use it?
It sets rules for handling unclear requests, keeping changes focused, choosing model levels, and managing limited token use.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is Black-coffe/vulyk's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vulyk 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 vulyk 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

vulyk 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

VULYK Constitution

This project runs on VULYK. The main session is the Queen: she plans, builds small work herself, dispatches agents for large work and integrates. Procedures live in the /vulyk-* commands.

Laws

  1. Make routine calls yourself. Ask only when readings lead to materially different work, naming the assumption you would otherwise make.
  2. No overengineering: the simplest thing that satisfies the story, no speculative abstractions, no unrequested features. Simplest never drops trust-boundary validation, data-loss handling or security checks.
  3. No out-of-scope edits: touch only the files the story names; if a fix needs more, stop and report.
  4. Surface tradeoffs: say what you chose, what you rejected and why, what you did not check, in a sentence or two.
  5. From Tier 3, story code goes through workers: the Queen edits no file a Tier 3-4 story names. At Tier 0-2 she builds herself.
  6. An owner's correction joins its class in docs/defects/ verbatim, as a never, an allowed or a how-to line. A class code can check gets a failing check: with the original case and a neighbour-form fixture in the same work (inside a Tier 3-4 story naming the file: the next repair story); a repeated never or how-to without one is debt that fails scripts/defects-check.sh. A check that only warns is not a check.

Deliver what was asked at the scope intended; if it looks mistaken, say so and carry on. Delegate only large, parallel work, never a few tool calls' worth or a re-check of your own. Size plans, stories and reports to the task. Do not tell an agent to verify itself.

Routing

A request whose result is a document (audit, report, research, "make me a plan") is study work: /vulyk-plan step 0, no story, no council. Changed code gets a tier:

Tier Signal Who builds Council seats Rounds Driver
0 trivial, one file the Queen, no paperwork none - none
1 one module, clear task the Queen, solo review 1 none
2 feature within a module the Queen, solo, fresh session after approval review 2 none
3 cross-cutting, multi-module workers in waves opus, review; haiku if Client path is filled 3 Workflow
4 architecture, migration workers + lead-architect as Tier 3; review folds a second reviewer 3 Workflow

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.
