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/cluesmith/codev/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cluesmith/codevWhat 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 | $0.02359 | $0.02359 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01179 | $0.01179 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00472 | $0.00472 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00236 | $0.00236 |
Grade A, and why
codev 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to codev AGENTS.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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Codev Project Instructions for AI Agents
Always-On Engineering Context (hot tier)
Curated, always-on guidance — consult before deciding. Use each "consult when…" map to open the full arch.md / lessons-learned.md when relevant.
@codev/resources/arch-critical.md @codev/resources/lessons-critical.md
The block above is auto-generated from the hot tier by
codev init/codev update— edit those source files, not the block. Their COLD counterparts (codev/resources/arch.md,lessons-learned.md) are on-demand archives; the "consult when…" maps point into them. New facts are routed by tier at review time and policed during MAINTAIN.
AGENTS.md is a byte-identical twin of this file for tools that read the AGENTS.md standard. Any edit here must be applied there.
This repository is Codev, built with Codev
Two trees, and the distinction governs almost every change:
| Tree | What it is | When you edit it |
|---|---|---|
codev/ |
Our instance — our specs, plans, reviews, resources | Implementing a feature for Codev |
codev-skeleton/ |
The template shipped to adopters — protocols, roles, templates, agents | Changing what other projects receive |
A framework change usually belongs in both. codev-skeleton/ carries no specs or
plans — those are created by the projects that install it.
How framework files resolve
Protocols, prompts, roles and templates resolve at runtime through four tiers, highest
first: .codev/<path> → codev/<path> → runtime cache → installed package skeleton.
The absence of codev/protocols/<name>/ is normal, not a missing reference — it means the
protocol resolves from the installed package. Only protocols you customize need a local copy.
When codev update merges a template that references a protocol you don't have locally, keep
the reference.
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.
