Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is d-o-hub/github-template-ai-agents's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on github-template-ai-agents 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 github-template-ai-agents 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 C, and why

github-template-ai-agents CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 13d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Claude Code Features

Sub-Agents

Sub-agent definitions live in .claude/agents/. Each is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter (name, description, tools, model).

Default agents in this template:

  • agent-creator - scaffold new sub-agent definitions
  • goap-agent - goal-oriented action planning for complex workflows
  • loop-agent - iterative refinement loops
  • analysis-swarm - parallel multi-perspective code analysis

Delegate context-heavy research to sub-agents to keep the parent session focused. Follow the shared retrieval → planning → implementation → verification order; use orchestration only when the task needs it. See agents-docs/SUB-AGENTS.md.

Skills

Skills live canonically in .agents/skills/. The .claude/skills/ folder contains only symlinks. Run ./scripts/setup-skills.sh once after cloning.

Skills use progressive disclosure - SKILL.md is injected only when the agent decides the skill is needed. Do not pre-load all skills at session start. See agents-docs/SKILLS.md.

Custom Commands

Project slash commands live in .claude/commands/. Use them for repeatable workflows.

Verification Hooks

Verification hooks run automatically on agent stop events.

  • Exit 0 = silent success (nothing extra enters context)
  • Exit 2 = errors surfaced to agent, forcing remediation before finishing See agents-docs/HOOKS.md. A successful hook is evidence only for the checks it ran, not proof of agent behavior. Downstream adopters customize hooks for their product. Profile, metrics, and shipping policy come only from AGENTS.md; Claude Code does not add a separate metrics or automatic publishing requirement.

Headless / CI Mode

claude -p "your prompt" --output-format stream-json

Context Management

  • Use /clear between unrelated tasks
  • Use Glob/Grep to find code instead of reading whole file trees
  • Prefer sub-agents for multi-step research tasks
  • See agents-docs/CONTEXT.md

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.
