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.

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 | $0.00780 | $0.00780 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00390 | $0.00390 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00156 | $0.00156 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00078 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
drift 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 2d 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.

Stack
- Language: Zig 0.16.0
- C interop: tree-sitter (vendor/tree-sitter + vendor/zig-tree-sitter, parsed on demand)
- Grammars: lazy zig build deps (not vendored)
- CLI: zig-clap 0.11.0
- VCS: shell out to git (jj support disabled until jj-native forges exist)
- Hashing: std.hash.XxHash3 for content comparison
Architecture
drift binds markdown docs to code and lints for staleness. No daemon, no index, no cache. Every drift lint run is stateless: read docs, parse referenced files on demand, hash symbols, extract and check markdown links, query VCS, report.

Zig Conventions
- Two arenas per command:
run_arenafor command-lifetime data,scratch_arenafor per-item temporaries (reset between iterations). GPA only inmain(). See docs/DECISIONS.md §12. - Stack buffers for fixed-width formatting (fingerprint hex, small
bufPrinttargets) - Only OS/C resources get explicit
deinit()— arena-backed data structs do not own memory - DebugAllocator in Debug builds for leak detection
- File-is-the-struct pattern (Ghostty convention)
- No
anyerrorin public APIs — explicit error sets zig fmtenforced- Property tests use minish with deterministic seed overrides
- All tests use
std.testing.allocator
Code Patterns
- Explicit error sets, no
anyerrorin public signatures - Tagged unions for VCS dispatch (Git | Jj)
- Comptime string maps for language detection (extension → grammar)
- Shell out for VCS operations via
std.process.Child - Tree-sitter queries loaded from
src/queries/<language>.scmat comptime
Adding a Language
- Add grammar dependency to
build.zig.zon - Add grammar compilation to
build.ziggrammars array - Add extern declaration + extension mapping in
src/parse/Language.zig - Write
src/queries/<language>.scmwith symbol capture patterns - Add test fixture
Markdown is a supported language with a two-grammar architecture: block grammar for document structure (section, atx_heading) and inline grammar for link extraction (inline_link). Both grammars are separate ts.Language instances compiled from tree-sitter-markdown.
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.

drift CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository fiberplane/drift (139 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 780 tokens to every session, about $0.0039 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
