Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: UserPromptSubmit hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is BoardKit/orchestrator's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on orchestrator 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 orchestrator configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is # hooks -> ../../orchestrator/shared/hooks.

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 D, and why

orchestrator CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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 1mo 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

Other skills' SKILL.md files reveal prompts, capabilities and secrets that should be invisible to peers.

Repository Overview

What is this repo? The Orchestrator is a central infrastructure repository that provides shared Claude Code resources (agents, skills, hooks, commands) to all projects via symlinks.

Purpose: Single source of truth for:

  • Generic AI agents (code review, planning, documentation, refactoring)
  • Auto-triggering skills (organization-specific development patterns)
  • Hooks (skill activation, file tracking)
  • Slash commands (dev docs creation)
  • Shared guidelines (architecture, error handling, testing)

Key Difference from Application Repos:

  • orchestrator (this repo): Shared infrastructure provider
  • your repositories: [Will be listed here after setup - e.g., app repo, core repo, etc.]

Critical: Changes here affect ALL repos via symlinks. Test in application repos before committing.


Resource Discovery Map

This section lists everything available in the orchestrator. Use this as your reference for what exists and when to use it.

Skills (Auto-Trigger)

Skills activate automatically when you edit files matching specific patterns or keywords.

[REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC SKILLS WILL BE GENERATED DURING SETUP]

After running /setup-orchestrator, you will have one skill per repository, like:

[repo-name]-guidelines (Example)

When it triggers: Editing files in your [repo-name] repo

  • File patterns: [e.g., **/repo-name/**/*.tsx, **/repo-name/**/*.py]
  • Keywords: [e.g., React, FastAPI, etc. - detected from your tech stack]

What it provides:

  • [Tech stack-specific development patterns]
  • [Error handling guidance for your frameworks]
  • [Testing patterns for your tools]

References: guidelines/error-handling.md, guidelines/testing-standards.md

Status: ⏳ Will be created during setup

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.
