tachi CLAUDE.md

tachi CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from davidmatousek/tachi. It costs 1,350 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for Claude Code covering repository rules, product documents, feature branches, pull requests, and the project's directory layout. A feature branch is a separate Git line of work, and a pull request is a request to review changes before merging them.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding product-led development, enforcing the project's Git workflow, locating specifications and documentation, and discovering repository context.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent consistent project-specific rules and explains where important files and documents belong.

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

tachi 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.

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 - tachi

Core Constraints

  • Product-Led: Start with product vision, PRDs, and user stories
  • Source of Truth: .aod/spec.md
  • Validation Required: Run /aod.analyze before PRs
  • Local-First: Always supports local .aod/ file workflows

Git Workflow

Always use feature branches: git checkout -b NNN-feature-name

  • NNN = GitHub Issue number, zero-padded to 3 digits
  • Never commit to main directly
  • Draft PR opened at plan stage, marked ready at delivery
  • Branch format: NNN-descriptive-name (e.g., 021-feature-name for Issue #21)

  • (/aod.plan chains: spec → project-plan → tasks automatically)

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.
