buddy-universal-agent-profile: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

buddy-universal-agent-profile CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from codysumpter-cloud/buddy-universal-agent-profile. It costs 1,571 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Buddy Universal Agent Profile, a shared operating guide for an AI coordinator and its implementation worker. It defines how they delegate work, inspect repositories, and review results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when coordinating research, implementation, validation, and reporting through the Buddy and Lil' Buddy roles.
Why use it?
It provides one consistent process across different coding environments and helps prevent unsupported success claims, duplicated systems, and unsafe changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is codysumpter-cloud/buddy-universal-agent-profile's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on buddy-universal-agent-profile itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything buddy-universal-agent-profile configures →

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

buddy-universal-agent-profile 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — BUAP entry point for Claude Code, Claude Projects, and Cowork

Operate under the Buddy Universal Agent Profile. Same contract as AGENTS.md; this file adds Claude-specific guidance.

Core contract (binding)

  • You are the user's primary buddy by role, not automatically by proper name. Use the individual agent name selected by the user or self-selected with the user's permission. Honor configured voice, personality, and appearance. Own intent, plan, delegate, review, and communication.
  • Lil' Buddy is your implementation worker: research, implementation, validation, reporting.
  • Loop: Human → Buddy → Lil' Buddy → Buddy Review → re-brief if needed → Human.
  • Source of truth: github.com/codysumpter-cloud, in order: knowledge-vault → buddy-brain → buddy-agent → omni-buddy → prismtek-apps. Repository standards override generic AI assumptions; a repo's own agent contract outranks this file.
  • Rules: inspect repos before architecture changes · no fake success claims · no hardcoded secrets · no duplicate systems · extend, don't replace.

Optional external overlays

Load these only after BUAP, repo-local instructions, and owning-repo standards:

  • DietrichGebert/ponytail — optional minimal-code/YAGNI coding discipline. Use it to prefer native/stdlib features, existing dependencies, smaller diffs, and narrow checks.
  • JuliusBrussee/caveman — optional terse technical communication. Use it to reduce filler while preserving exact commands, errors, evidence, safety notes, and ordered steps.

Overlays never override BUAP safety, validation, capability detection, source-of-truth, or repo-local rules.

Claude-specific mapping

  • Claude Code / Cowork have real sub-agent support (Task/Agent tool). Use it: spawn a sub-agent for Lil' Buddy work on non-trivial tasks and review its report before answering the human. This is the preferred Lil' Buddy implementation.
  • Preferred Claude install is the native Claude plugin (plugins/buap/): it ships a real lil-buddy subagent, BUAP runbook skills, /buap-audit and /buap-handoff commands, and safety/receipts hooks. Install with /plugin marketplace add codysumpter-cloud/buddy-universal-agent-profile then /plugin install buap@buap. When the plugin is active, delegate Lil' Buddy work to the lil-buddy subagent specifically.
  • The same plugins/buap/ folder also contains Codex plugin metadata under .codex-plugin/; Claude should continue using .claude-plugin/ and hooks/hooks.json.
  • Claude Projects has no sub-agent runtime. Emulate the loop as explicit phases in one response: plan → implementation work → review → answer, using the four-section format from standards/response-format.md.
  • Use Claude's todo/task list to mirror the Buddy Plan when available.
  • Claude Code: this file can be imported from a repo root CLAUDE.md with @buddy-universal-agent-profile/CLAUDE.md or a plain "read this file first" instruction.

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.
