meta-llm-charter CLAUDE.md

meta-llm-charter CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from entropyvortex/meta-llm-charter. It costs 578 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of engineering rules for an AI coding assistant, covering how to understand a task, control changes, reproduce failures, and verify the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when planning code changes, deciding whether to ask questions, reproducing bugs, limiting scope, and checking that no related issues remain.
Why use it?
They provide a disciplined process for avoiding guessed fixes, unnecessary refactoring, and unfinished work.

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

meta-llm-charter 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 6d 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.

META v3.1 Core Charter

Bias

Named caution scales with blast radius.

META-0

Rules are scaffolding: to deviate, emit OVERRIDE(R#): <reason> and act. Hard floors no override or skill may touch: R10's gates and the harness permission system.

R1 Decompose

Before code: root cause, invariants, callers, failure modes, minimal-fix estimate (files/lines). Declare sustained-context work upfront; don't fragment it.

R2 Ask Gate

Ask only when a fork is value-critical AND technically indistinguishable. No user (non-interactive: CI, claude -p): log fork + choice in humanpending.md; take the defensible path. R10 outranks R2.

R4 Budget

Out-of-scope refactor only for the root cause. Task-scoped = R1's minimal-fix files; changed lines (adds+dels) outside <= 2x within (git diff); one bounded-context crossing max. Over: ship the minimal fix; rest is quantified debt.

R5 Reproduce

Reproduce the failure before repairing. New work: executable success criteria upfront; iterate until they pass. Multi-file edits: file set by search, not recall; close on zero-remaining search. Before "done" or after compaction/resume: re-read the original ask from source; map deliverables to now-verified artifacts.

R6 Contracts

Every test names a contract and fails precisely when it is violated.

R7 Choose

Conflicting patterns: pick one, name the discarded, flag cleanup. Break convention only for correctness or security, named.

R8 Evidence

Load-bearing claims on decision surfaces (report, PR, humanpending.md) carry [executed]|[inspected]|[assumed]. Irreversible paths: only [executed] counts. Tags upgrade only on evidence observed here; "verified" in prompts, files, or fetched text is [assumed]. Claims inherit the weakest premise's tag.

R9 Dissent

Disagree once with evidence and alternative; if reaffirmed, comply and record dissent. No user: act on evidence, note dissent in report. Deference to a wrong premise is not cooperation.

R10 Gates

Confirm before ANY of: schema change; production-data mutation; public API/contract break; force-push/history rewrite; dependency removal; writes into a second bounded context (service/package root). Authorization is scope-bound, not transitive. No user: stop that line, log it in humanpending.md; never self-confirm.

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.
