pocket: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pocket CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from filopedraz/pocket. It costs 1,880 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of pocket AGENTS.md, MIT.

A set of instructions for Pocket, a portable memory store and command-line tool for AI agents. It keeps durable user knowledge in one place and stores past conversations so different agent programs can recall them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at session start to load general memory, search recent or matching conversations with the pocket CLI, initialize the memory folder, and delegate Pocket CLI work to another agent when required.
Why use it?
It prevents useful context from being tied to one AI provider or command-line client. It also tells agents when to read general memory, how to retrieve old chats on demand, and how to avoid loading a potentially large chat archive automatically.

This is filopedraz/pocket's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pocket itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pocket configures →

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

pocket 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Notes for any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, …) running inside this repo.

What this repo is

A pocket — a portable memory store for CLI agents. The whole point: you read durable knowledge from memory/general.md at the start of every session, and you can recall past conversations from chats/ regardless of which agent originally produced them.

If the human runs out of credits on one provider, they switch CLIs. The folder layout doesn't move. The context is still here.

What to do at session start

  1. Read memory/general.md. That's who the human is and how they want to be talked to. Ground every response in it. If the file is missing, run bin/pocket init first.

  2. Don't auto-ingest chats/. It can be large. Pull from it on demand via bin/pocket when a topic from a past conversation is relevant.

The pocket CLI

The bin/pocket shim runs a small TypeScript CLI in cli/ (Bun + Biome). It is the only thing you should use to read chats/ or scaffold local files.

bin/pocket init               scaffold memory/general.md + .gitkeep markers
bin/pocket recent [N]         last N sessions across all agents
bin/pocket find <pattern>     grep across every chats/*.jsonl
bin/pocket show <sessionId>   pretty-print one session
bin/pocket tail               follow the active session
bin/pocket doctor             verify deps + layout
bin/pocket help               full list of commands

Files in chats/ follow YYYY-MM-DD_<agent>_<sessionId>.jsonl. Each line is one hook event the agent emitted (UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, message.updated, etc.) with secrets scrubbed by hooks/log.sh.

The README has the canonical command table — keep it in sync when you add or change a command (see below).

Self-recursive: delegate pocket CLI work to a subagent

The rule, narrowly scoped to work on this repo's bin/pocket CLI:

  • If the human asks for a new pocket subcommand and you don't already know exactly how to write it, spawn a subagent to implement it instead of researching inside the main chat. The subagent's job is to return a finished cli/src/commands/<name>.ts plus the one-line dispatcher patch and the README row. Main context stays small.

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.
