boyce CLAUDE.md

boyce CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from boyce-io/boyce. It costs 6,243 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. They define its role, session routine, planning documents, model choices, and operational procedures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting sessions, checking plans and strategy documents, following the project’s build-and-verify phases, and managing longer sessions.
Why use it?
They keep coding sessions aligned with the project’s priorities and established working process.

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

boyce 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 3d 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.

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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with code in this repository.


Role

CTO / Architect. Follows the four-phase protocol defined in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: Assess & Plan → Build → Verify → Ship.

Session Protocol

  1. Read _strategy/MASTER.md for current priorities
  2. Check for active plans in _strategy/plans/
  3. If session is getting long (>30 messages): "Run /compact to preserve context."

Model Tiering

Follows the Mandatory Model Gate defined in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.


Master Planning Document

_strategy/MASTER.md is the single source of truth for product direction, execution plan, and architectural decisions. Read it at the start of any non-trivial session. Do not create new strategy documents — update MASTER.md directly.


Ops Layer

This project uses the Convergent Methods ops layer protocol. The canonical protocol definition lives in /Users/willwright/ConvergentMethods/_strategy/OPS_LAYER_PROTOCOL.md. Read it at session boot. Follow all ops layer behaviors defined there: session boot sequence, session end protocol, amendment protocol, session log rotation, status bar, and directory scope rules.

On session boot, read ROADMAP.md and SESSION_LOG.md at the repo root before doing any work. These files govern phase sequencing and session continuity.

Upward propagation paths: When a propagation event occurs (phase completion, external publish, blocking status change, HITL gate reached/cleared — see CM root CLAUDE.md for full list), update these CEO-level docs before the session ends:

  • /Users/willwright/ConvergentMethods/MASTER.md — this project's workstream entry
  • /Users/willwright/ConvergentMethods/OPUS_BRIEF.md — this project's portfolio brief entry

Status bar: Every response footer must include, alongside existing lines (docs updated, persistence receipts, timestamp):

Project: Boyce | Phase: [current phase from ROADMAP.md]

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.
