Why use it?
It gives an agent the project background and operating rules needed to work consistently in that repository.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the TodoWrite tool.

This is contactTAM/q-command-system's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on q-command-system 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 q-command-system 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

q-command-system 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 2mo 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.

Q-Command System Repository

A Robust Co-Pilot System for Claude Code

Version: 2.1.2 Author: Gabriel Rymberg Repository: github.com/contactTAM/q-command-system License: MIT


What is This Repository?

This repository IS the Q-Command System - the source code, documentation, templates, and examples for the comprehensive co-pilot framework that structures Claude Code sessions.

Meta Usage: This repository uses its own Q-Command System to manage its own development. We practice what we preach!


Project Purpose

The Q-Command System transforms Claude Code from a simple AI assistant into a reliable development co-pilot with:

  • Structured session management (/q-begin, /q-end, /q-checkpoint)
  • Automatic documentation (transcripts, session notes)
  • Context awareness and protection
  • Multi-user support without file collisions
  • Git workflow integration
  • Explicit verification and error handling

This repository contains:

  • /docs/ - Comprehensive documentation
  • /templates/.claude/commands/ - Slash command definitions (15 files)
  • /templates/.q-system/ - Q-System folder template (docs, config, session folders)
  • /templates/CLAUDE.md - Template for your CLAUDE.md

Current Status

Version: 2.1.2 (Released 2025-12-03)

Latest Updates:

  • Q Marketplace footer in session commands (q-begin, q-end, q-checkpoint)
  • SHARE.md template for viral distribution
  • First-session welcome template in CLAUDE.md
  • 3 Quick Start Guides (Q, Git, Claude Code Tips)
  • Standard headers/footers across all documentation

Repository State: Stable, ready for public use


Team

Primary Maintainer:

  • Gabriel Rymberg - Creator and lead developer

Contributors: Open to community contributions

Usage: This repository uses Q-commands for all development work

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.
