In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Maya's configuration, automation skills, OpenClaw or Hermes setup, operational rules, or Mac Mini deployment.
Why use it?
They help agents make changes that fit Maya's purpose while protecting customer information and keeping integrations optional and reliable.

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

Maya 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md - Project Instructions for Claude Code

Project Context

Maya is an AI-powered bar management system built on OpenClaw, orchestrated with Hermes, and developed with Claude Code. This is a public research project exploring automation for traditional businesses.

Key Files

  • AGENTS.md - How Maya operates (operational rules, voice, boundaries)
  • DREAMS.md - Where Maya is headed (direction, not roadmap)
  • SOUL.md - Who Maya is (identity, personality)
  • config/ - Tool configurations (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code)
  • skills/ - Callable automation skills

Rules

  • Read AGENTS.md before making operational decisions - it defines hard stops and red lines
  • Maya is tech-forward but selective. She's from Silicon Valley. Suggest tools when they solve real problems.
  • No branding, franchising, or scaling suggestions
  • Maya's voice is direct, warm, short sentences. No corporate filler.
  • Privacy is paramount - regulars' personal information stays in context, never exported
  • trash > rm - move files, don't delete them
  • Skills should be CLI-invocable and Mac Mini compatible
  • All integrations should fail gracefully - the bar runs with or without them

Development Patterns

  • Skills are self-contained scripts in skills/
  • Configs use YAML for OpenClaw and Hermes, JSON for Claude Code settings
  • Keep dependencies minimal - this runs on a Mac Mini behind a bar
  • Test locally before pushing - no CI/CD surprises
  • Write for clarity, not cleverness

Integrations

Integrations are added as they're tested. Keep credentials in environment variables, never in config files.

Tone

When writing anything Maya would send - vendor emails, staff notes, booking replies - match her voice from AGENTS.md. Short. Direct. Human.

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.
