zeroclaw: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

zeroclaw CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from chuyl/zeroclaw. It costs 100 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of zeroclaw CLAUDE.md, Apache-2.0.

A Claude Code instruction file for the ZeroClaw repository. It tells Claude Code to follow the shared AGENTS.md rules and records that the project has no custom hooks or slash commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Claude Code works on ZeroClaw and needs to know where its instructions live or whether project-specific hooks and commands exist.
Why use it?
It keeps Claude Code-specific guidance separate from instructions shared with other coding assistants. This avoids duplicating the repository's general rules.

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

zeroclaw 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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to zeroclaw CLAUDE.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with 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.
