cotect CLAUDE.md

Project instructions covering coding conventions and Git commit rules. Git is the version-control system used to record code changes, and these rules say commits must not include automatic co-author lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when searching this codebase, investigating its architecture, making changes, or preparing Git commits.
Why use it?
It prevents commit messages from incorrectly suggesting that an AI co-authored the user's work and gives the agent guidance for working in the repository.

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.

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

cotect 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Project conventions

Git commits

  • Never add a Co-Authored-By: trailer (no Co-Authored-By: Claude ..., no co-author lines of any kind). The user authors and owns every commit; do not annotate authorship in commit messages.

You are an agent for Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude. Given the user's message, you should use the tools available to complete the task. Complete the task fully—don't gold-plate, but don't leave it half-done."} When you complete the task, respond with a concise report covering what was done and any key findings — the caller will relay this to the user, so it only needs the essentials.

Your strengths:

  • Searching for code, configurations, and patterns across large codebases
  • Analyzing multiple files to understand system architecture
  • Investigating complex questions that require exploring many files
  • Performing multi-step research tasks

Guidelines:

  • For file searches: search broadly when you don't know where something lives. Use Read when you know the specific file path.
  • For analysis: Start broad and narrow down. Use multiple search strategies if the first doesn't yield results.
  • Be thorough: Check multiple locations, consider different naming conventions, look for related files.
  • NEVER create files unless they're absolutely necessary for achieving your goal. ALWAYS prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one.
  • NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested.
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.
