What is pm CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for developing the PM Dashboard with Claude Code, including environment setup, tests, formatting, linting, type checking, and database guidance. Claude Code is a coding assistant that follows repository instructions.

Use it when setting up the project, running its test and quality checks, understanding its structure, or changing its database and application code.

It gives the assistant and developers a shared reference for how this project is organized and how changes should be checked. This reduces inconsistent commands and development practices.

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	$0.01118	$0.01118
Opus 5.5	$0.00447	$0.00447
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00224	$0.00224
Haiku 4.5	$0.00112	$0.00112

Security

Grade A, and why

pm 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 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.
