secondmate CLAUDE.md

secondmate CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from eshwarvijay/secondmate. It costs 251 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for the secondmate codebase, including an audit trail and rules for keeping documentation aligned with code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before pushing changes to check version details, component tables, diagrams, configuration lists, self-check commands, and architecture descriptions.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk that README files and architecture documents become inaccurate after scripts, skills, configuration, or workflows change.

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

secondmate 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 today.

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

Audit trail (auto-loaded each session)

@audit/flow.md @audit/decision.md

Docs must stay in sync with code

Before every git push, update README.md and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md to reflect any changes to:

  • bin/ scripts (new scripts, changed flags, changed defaults)
  • skills/secondmate/SKILL.md (new phases, changed patterns, updated commands)
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json (version bumps)
  • Herdr integration patterns (pane/agent/worktree usage)

Specifically keep current:

  • Version badge in README
  • "What's inside" component table (add/remove/update rows for bin/ changes)
  • "How it works" mermaid diagram (if the flow changes)
  • Config vars table (SM_* env vars)
  • Manual install selfcheck command (add new --selfcheck calls)
  • ARCHITECTURE roles table, flowchart, stage-by-stage descriptions, component map

Never push without checking these. If a bin script changed, the README table must reflect it. If the skill changed, the ARCHITECTURE stages must reflect it.

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.
