ctxharness: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ctxharness CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from FlorianBruniaux/ctxharness. It costs 1,575 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for ctxharness, a framework that checks whether an AI project's documentation still matches its code and configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, test, lint, format, inspect configuration, run documentation scanners, and understand the project's core and command-line packages.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the repository structure, commands, important files, and architecture rules needed to work safely and check documentation drift.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is FlorianBruniaux/ctxharness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ctxharness 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 ctxharness 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

ctxharness 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 12d 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.

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.
