cpp-cpm-engine: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cpp-cpm-engine CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from danafitkowski/cpp-cpm-engine. It costs 1,668 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of operating instructions for Claude Code when releasing versions of the cpp-cpm-engine project. It defines when audit items are complete, how statuses are recorded, and which conditions must stop a release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide release audits, record audit-ledger statuses, verify code or documentation changes, and enforce release stop conditions.
Why use it?
It gives people and AI agents a shared definition of done and requires each change to have a reproducible verification command. This reduces the risk of closing audit work without a real fix or check.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is danafitkowski/cpp-cpm-engine's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cpp-cpm-engine 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 cpp-cpm-engine 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

cpp-cpm-engine 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — Operating contract for cpp-cpm-engine releases

This file is the contract that the per-version AUDIT_LEDGER_v{X}.md files cite. It defines what "CLOSED" means, what hard-stop conditions block a release, and what the operator (a human or an AI agent like Claude Code) must do before claiming an audit row is closed.

If the ledger and this file disagree, this file wins. The ledger refers to this file; it does not redefine it.


1. Definition of Done (DoD) — the four criteria

A row in any AUDIT_LEDGER_v{X}.md may move to status CLOSED if and only if all four of the following are true:

  1. Code or doc change exists. A concrete, committable diff — a new file, an edit to an existing file, or a configuration change — addresses the finding. Adding the item to ROADMAP_OPEN.md is not a change for this purpose; it closes the meta-tracking task only.
  2. Verification command provided. The ledger row's Verification command column contains a single shell or node command that an independent operator can run, in the repo root, to reproduce the verification. The command must exit non-zero on regression.
  3. File read end-to-end after edit. After the diff is written, the author re-reads the touched file(s) from line 1 to EOF — not by grep, not by pattern-match. This is the human-eye check that the change is internally consistent, that no leftover scaffolding remains, and that the surrounding context still parses.
  4. Clean-window re-grep performed. From a fresh read, search every touched file for: outdated version strings, contradictory test counts / metric values, references to evidence packets or fixtures that do not exist on disk, and forbidden marketing language ("industry-first", "best-in-class", "revolutionary", "world-class", "game-changing", "unprecedented", "cutting-edge", "state-of-the-art"). Any finding downgrades the row to DEFERRED until resolved.

A row that satisfies 3 of 4 is not CLOSED. There is no partial credit.

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.
