Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PreToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is BostonOrange/claude-code-framework's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on claude-code-framework itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

claude-code-framework AGENTS.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 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.

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

AGENTS.md — Claude Code Framework

This file mirrors CLAUDE.md so that tools following the AGENTS.md convention (e.g. Codex) get the same framework instructions Claude Code does. Codex-format agent and hook configs live in .codex/; portable skills live in .agents/skills/. Keep this file and .codex/ in sync with CLAUDE.md and .claude/.

Project Overview

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.
