In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It records important constraints around message translation, caching, automatic shortening of long conversations, and login continuation that may not be obvious from the code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is bman654/clodex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on clodex 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 clodex 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 B, and why

clodex CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 19d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for coding agents and maintainers working in this repo. Read this file in full; load the deeper documents below only when you touch the subsystem they cover.

clodex bridges Claude Code to non-Anthropic models — OpenAI API key (openai), ChatGPT/Codex-plan OAuth (openai-oauth), or community-supported OpenCode Go (opencode-go). Provider support tiers are documented in README. It is a trimmed fork of relay-ai (full commit history preserved).

Prime directive. The translation, caching, auto-compaction, and OAuth-continuation code encodes real production failures that are not visible in the diff. Prefer surgical changes over restructuring.

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.
