CLAUDE.md

bigpowers CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 5,009 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Claude Code that explains how to work in the bigpowers repository. It defines which project documents to read for different areas and lists project-specific rules for code, planning, and Git operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the repository’s guidance when working on skills, specifications, scripts, website files, or GitHub and Git tasks. It directs the agent to the relevant project documentation.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent consistent project context and prevents it from loading irrelevant files or skipping required conventions. This reduces mistakes when changing a large repository.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PreToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is danielvm-git/bigpowers's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on bigpowers 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 bigpowers configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/danielvm/.local/bin/sqz.

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

bigpowers CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

bigpowers — Claude Code

Read CONVENTIONS.md before any GitHub or git operation.

constitution.md is a consolidated entry point synthesizing this project's doctrine (this file, CONVENTIONS.md, docs/PRINCIPLES.md, docs/references/*.md) into bigspec's B0-B10 + Capstone blocks, with citations back to the fuller text. It's a starting point for a reader, not a replacement — this file remains fully authoritative for its own content today.

Context Routing

Load subdirectory context by file glob — do not read the full doc tree up front.

Glob / trigger Load first Fallback
skills/** Active skill's SKILL.md + sibling REFERENCE.md if linked SKILL-INDEX.md
specs/epics/** Capsule epic.yaml + active story -tasks.yaml specs/release-plan.yaml
specs/product/** SCOPE_LATEST.yaml, VISION_LATEST.yaml specs/README.md
specs/tech-architecture/** tech-stack.md + epic eNN-TEST_PLAN_LATEST.md if present CONVENTIONS.md

website/** website/README.md if present Never edit website/src/content/docs/ (generated)
docs/** Matching doc under docs/ docs/references/
Default / session start This file → CONVENTIONS.mdspecs/state.yaml survey-context

Sub-AGENTS.md files (when present in consumer projects) override this table for their directory only.

Learned User Preferences

Durable preferences discovered across sessions. Update via session-state — do not infer from chat alone.

  • Prefer rtk-prefixed shell commands for git, test, and build output (token savings).
  • Run Preflight before forward work; never dismiss red gates as pre-existing.
  • Edit skills/*/SKILL.md sources only — never .cursor/rules/ or .gemini/ artifacts.

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.
