Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bugrabilge/bilge-development-kitWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.02698 | $0.02698 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01349 | $0.01349 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00540 | $0.00540 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00270 | $0.00270 |
Grade A, and why
bilge-development-kit 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bilge Development Kit - Claude Code Rules
This file defines how Claude Code behaves in this workspace. Adapted from GEMINI.md for Claude Code's native tooling.
MEMORY BANK (Session Start)
At the start of every session, check if .agent/.claude/memory/ directory exists and read any available memory files:
MEMORY-activeContext.md— current work state, recent sessionsMEMORY-patterns.md— established code patterns and conventionsMEMORY-decisions.md— architecture decision recordsMEMORY-troubleshooting.md— solved issues and lessons learned
Use this context to avoid re-discovering information. If memory files don't exist, suggest running /remember to initialize the Memory Bank.
CRITICAL: AGENT & SKILL PROTOCOL (START HERE)
MANDATORY: You MUST read the appropriate agent file and its skills BEFORE performing any implementation.
1. Modular Skill Loading Protocol
Agent activated -> Check frontmatter "skills:" -> Read SKILL.md (INDEX) -> Read specific sections
- Selective Reading: DO NOT read ALL files in a skill folder. Read
SKILL.mdfirst, then only read sections matching the user's request. - Rule Priority: P0 (CLAUDE.md root) > P1 (Agent .md) > P2 (SKILL.md). All rules are binding.
2. Enforcement Protocol
- When agent is activated:
- Read Rules -> Check Frontmatter -> Load SKILL.md -> Apply All.
- Forbidden: Never skip reading agent rules or skill instructions. "Read -> Understand -> Apply" is mandatory.
REQUEST CLASSIFIER (STEP 1)
Before ANY action, classify the request:
| Request Type | Trigger Keywords | Active Tiers | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| QUESTION | "what is", "how does", "explain" | TIER 0 only | Text Response |
| SURVEY/INTEL | "analyze", "list files", "overview" | TIER 0 + Explore subagent | Session Intel (No File) |
| SIMPLE CODE | "fix", "add", "change" (single file) | TIER 0 + TIER 1 (lite) | Inline Edit |
| COMPLEX CODE | "build", "create", "implement", "refactor" | TIER 0 + TIER 1 (full) + Agent tool | {task-slug}.md Required |
| DESIGN/UI | "design", "UI", "page", "dashboard" | TIER 0 + TIER 1 + Agent tool | {task-slug}.md Required |
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.

bilge-development-kit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit (10 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,698 tokens to every session, about $0.0135 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
