cdd CLAUDE.md

cdd CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from drabaioli/cdd. It costs 2,620 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for CDD, or Claude-Driven Development, a human-supervised way to develop software with Claude Code. They describe the process, project template, engineering practices, documentation, and repository layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the CDD process, roadmap, documentation, architecture records, engineering practices, or project-bootstrap template.
Why use it?
They give the coding agent the context and rules needed to work consistently in the CDD repository and in projects created from its template.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

cdd 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 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.

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.

CDD (Claude-Driven Development) — Claude Code Context

CDD is a human-in-the-loop workflow for evolving software projects together with Claude Code. This repository contains the process document (the philosophy and lifecycle) and the template (copy-paste material for bootstrapping new projects). The CDD repo itself uses CDD on itself; the template under template/ is content this project ships, not the project's own scaffolding.

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.
