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

VS-MCPServer 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Critical Rules

These rules override all other instructions:

  1. NEVER commit directly to main - Always create a feature branch and submit a pull request
  2. Conventional commits - Format: type(scope): description
  3. GitHub Issues for TODOs - Use gh CLI to manage issues, no local TODO files. Use conventional commit format for issue titles
  4. Pull Request titles - Use conventional commit format (same as commits)
  5. Branch naming - Use format: type/scope/short-description (e.g., feat/tools/add-debug-tools)
  6. Working an issue - Always create a new branch from an updated main branch
  7. Check branch status before pushing - Verify the remote tracking branch still exists. If a PR was merged/deleted, create a new branch from main instead
  8. Microsoft coding guidelines - Follow Microsoft C# coding conventions and .NET library design guidelines
  9. WPF for all UI - All UI must be implemented using WPF (XAML/C#). No web-based technologies (HTML, JavaScript, WebView)
  10. Write tests - All new/refactored code requires tests where applicable
  11. Run validation before commits - Run dotnet build and verify no errors before committing
  12. No co-authors - Do not add co-author information on commits or pull requests
  13. No "generated by" statements - Do not add generated-by statements on pull requests

GitHub CLI Commands

gh issue list                    # List open issues
gh issue view <number>           # View details
gh issue create --title "type(scope): description" --body "..."
gh issue close <number>

Conventional Commit Types

Type Description
feat New feature
fix Bug fix
docs Documentation only
refactor Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
test Adding or updating tests
chore Maintenance tasks

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.
