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.

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 | $0.01211 | $0.01211 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00606 | $0.00606 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00242 | $0.00242 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00121 | $0.00121 |
Grade A, and why
ARC 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

CLAUDE.md — ARC Project
What is ARC?
ARC (Agent Runtime Control) is a CLI + TUI for managing multiple agent profiles (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, etc.) with isolated configs, credentials, and environments.
Architecture
- CLI layer: Commander.js commands in
src/commands/ - TUI layer: Ink + React components in
src/tui/- Views: Dash, Work (session), Profiles, Doctor, Settings, Guide (in-app docs), Tasks, Memory, Skills, Sync, Telemetry (Traces), Agents
- Overlays: CreateProfileOverlay, HelpOverlay, CommandPalette, SwapOverlay, SharedDetailOverlay, ProfileInfoOverlay, Update overlay
- OnboardingScreen: fullscreen first-run wizard with multi-select tool import, optional rename, batch import
- Workspace shell: tokenized input with syntax highlighting (
/commandgreen,@profileblue,#tagdimmed) and auto-complete overlay (Tab/Enter accept, arrows navigate); runs shell commands with profile env;/commands for ARC actions - Input components:
TokenizedInput(tokenizer + colored rendering),AutoComplete(suggestion resolver + overlay) - Doctor repair actions: install hints, re-auth instructions, PATH/shell fix hints displayed inline
- Shared layer controls:
hkey in ProfilesView toggles shared layer per profile; sync status in SettingsView and ProfileList - Credential hot-swap: SwapOverlay (
src/tui/views/SwapOverlay.tsx) — capture/swap/delete via command palette. [experimental] - Update system: DashView shows update-available banner;
ukey triggers in-app update overlay - Scrollable views: ScrollBox component (
src/tui/components/ScrollBox.tsx) for arrow-key scrolling
- Update module:
src/update.ts— cached npm registry check, self-update vianpm install -g - Credential hot-swap:
src/swap.ts— [experimental] swap auth credentials in canonical tool dir without changing MCPs/settings/history. CLI:arc swap capture/to/list/delete. TUI: SwapOverlay via command palette - Shared layer:
src/shared.ts— syncs MCP servers, commands, CLAUDE.md, memory, and projects across profiles via~/.arc/shared/. Pull/push with cross-tool warnings. - Import utilities:
src/import-utils.ts— shared skip list, auth detection, entry descriptions - Wizard types:
src/tui/wizardTypes.ts— shared step types and metadata helpers for profile creation wizards - Activity log:
src/log.ts— timestamped action log to~/.arc/activity.log - Single entry point:
src/index.ts→src/cli.ts - Bundled output:
tsupproduces a singledist/index.jswith shebang - Landing site:
site/— React 19 + Vite + Tailwind v4, Nothing-design marketing page - Deployment: Root
Dockerfile+nginx.conf— multi-stage build mergingsite/at/anduser-docs/at/docs/into single nginx container - Web Dashboard: 13 view components (Overview, Sessions, Traces, Risk, Tasks, Skills, Memory, Agents, Factory + Profiles, Diagnostics, Sync, Plugins)
- Orchestration layer: Hook pipeline (8 hooks in priority order), roundtable multi-agent discussions, task delegation protocol, interagent routing, source classification
- Adapters: Claude Code (SDK + plugin + hooks), Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw (native plugin), Hermes Agent (MCP bridge), Generic (fallback for any tool)
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.

ARC CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Codename-11/ARC (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,211 tokens to every session, about $0.0061 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.
