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

palmier 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Getting Started

Always read README.md first before starting any task.

Documentation

When making architectural changes, update README.md to reflect the new state.

Code comments

Default: write no comments. Well-named identifiers already explain WHAT.

Only add a comment when the WHY is non-obvious and would confuse a future reader without it — a hidden constraint, a subtle invariant, a workaround for a specific bug, or behavior that would surprise someone reading the code cold.

Keep comments timeless:

  • Don't reference callers, task names, PRs, issue numbers, or "used by X". That context belongs in commit messages and PR descriptions, and rots as the codebase evolves.
  • Don't narrate the current change ("added for the Y flow", "removed ...").
  • Don't restate type signatures or function names in prose.

When a comment earns its place, be concise. One line is the target. Write the single non-obvious why and nothing more — no setup, no restating what the code does, no explaining the obvious parts around it.

Changes

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.
