What is awesome-code-agents CLAUDE.md?

A set of project instructions for maintaining a curated catalogue of research papers about autonomous coding agents.

Use it when editing the catalogue, its documentation, its data pipeline, or its automation files.

It gives contributors clear rules for where project information belongs, how files should be written, and how changes should be handled.

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	$0.01871	$0.01871
Opus 5.5	$0.00748	$0.00748
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00374	$0.00374
Haiku 4.5	$0.00187	$0.00187

Security

Grade A, and why

awesome-code-agents 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.

Awesome Code Agents — Project Context

Working Preferences (owner: Zhaoyang-Chu)

Always work directly on main, no worktrees. Commit and push after each logical change so nothing gets lost.
Do NOT add Co-Authored-By: Claude to commit messages. Commits show only the owner's account.
English-only repo. Every file (data, docs, commit messages, comments) is English. No Chinese anywhere in the repo.
No em-dashes in anything we write (they read as AI-written). Use colons, commas, parentheses, or separate sentences. Never alter em-dashes inside a paper's own title or abstract (quoted source text).
Keep the design philosophy current in automation/DESIGN.md: it states the repo's final design and the reasoning behind it, organized by theme (no dated log, no superseded alternatives). When a turn settles a non-trivial design point, fold it into the right section that same turn. Chat is ephemeral; the repo is the memory.

What This Is

A curated list of research papers on autonomous code agents, published at euni.ai and github.com/EuniAI/awesome-code-agents. Rebuilt from the ground up in 2026-07 (taxonomy, data, and pipeline); the old system lives only in git history. Design rationale: automation/DESIGN.md; the rebuild-era records (legacy audit, completeness warrant) live at the git tag rebuild/2026-07.

The Two Sources of Truth

automation/data/taxonomy.json: the category system. Four top-level branches: foundation_models (flagship general models), studies (surveys and empirical research about the agents), artifact (code as the deliverable; 8 domains, software expands into 10 lifecycle activities), agency (code as the language of action; 6 worlds). Machine-facing contract per node: definition / includes / boundary / examples; plus a repo-wide scope with a hardened relevance gate and an ordered master_test. The classifier prompt is COMPILED from this file; never hand-write category text elsewhere.
automation/data/calibration.json: owner-labeled real papers as positive and negative few-shot examples (each with a why). They guide the classifier by precedent; they never pin papers by id. Grows automatically from review feedback (see the learning loop) and by hand when the owner rules on a case.

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.
