Why use it?
It tells agents how to install, build, test, analyse, structure, and safely modify the module, including the requirement to add tests for changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is dfinke/PSAI's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on PSAI 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 PSAI 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

PSAI 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

PSAI Project Conventions

Build & Development Commands

  • Install Dependencies: Import-Module ./PSAI.psd1 -Force
  • Run Tests: Invoke-Pester ./Tests (Ensure Pester 5.x is used)
  • Static Analysis: Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Path ./PSAI.psm1
  • Build Module: ./Build/BuildModule.ps1 (if applicable)

Engineering Standards & Patterns

  • Architecture: Follow High-Agency Agent patterns. Decouple LLM logic from PowerShell provider logic.
  • TDD: All new features or bug fixes must include a corresponding Pester test in the /Tests directory.
  • Style: Follow the PowerShell Practice and Style Guide.
  • Naming: Use standard Verb-Noun pairs. Avoid aliases in module code.
  • Error Handling: Use try/catch blocks for all API calls; provide meaningful error objects to the LLM context.

Agentic Workflow

  • When refactoring, maintain the "Be the Automator, Not the Automated" philosophy.
  • Tools should be modular and discoverable via Get-Command -Module PSAI.
  • Reference the ConvertTo-AIPrompt logic when packaging codebase context for LLM windows.
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.
