agent-context: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-context CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from cote-star/agent-context. It costs 46 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository-navigation instructions for coding agents. It tells them which context files to read first, how to find the right task route, and which parts of the code they may search.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a repository that has an `.agent-context` directory and needs a standard startup procedure for agents.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary file reading and helps agents follow the repository's established rules before changing code. The input does not describe its implementation beyond these instructions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is cote-star/agent-context's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-context 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 agent-context configures →

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

agent-context 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 11d 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.

Changes

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.
