What is grounded-knowledge-engine CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for the grounded-knowledge-engine project. They point coding agents to shared guidance and explain how the project's local knowledge-base tools are configured.

Use them when working on the grounded-knowledge-engine repository, especially its local MCP knowledge-base server.

They keep different coding assistants aligned and help them use the project's own source and knowledge tools correctly while debugging.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00154	$0.00154
Opus 5.5	$0.00062	$0.00062
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00031	$0.00031
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00015

Security

Grade A, and why

grounded-knowledge-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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

The canonical agent guidance is shared across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI in a single file to prevent drift:

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code specifics:

This repo's own kb MCP server is registered via a machine-local .mcp.json (generated by npm run setup:mcp, gitignored) plus local approval, so mcp__kb__* tools (search, get_record, answer_and_capture, resume_project) may be available in-session. Treat them as the product under test: prefer reading source files directly when debugging the server itself.

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.
