Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is fullstacktard/claude-workflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-workflow 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 claude-workflow 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 C, and why

claude-workflow CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

FEATURE REGISTRY - MUST UPDATE

When adding, removing, or renaming commands, workflows, agents, or skills:

  1. Update config/product-config.json (monorepo root — the source of truth)
  2. Run npm run generate:features to regenerate src/lib/generated/feature-groups-data.ts
  3. Rebuild: npm run build

The generator script reads from the root config/product-config.json, NOT the package-level copy.

SLASH COMMANDS - TEMPLATE DIRECTORY REQUIRED

Slash commands (.claude/commands/*.md) must exist in src/templates/.claude/commands/ to be distributed to user projects. The build copies src/ → dist/, and claude-workflow update copies from dist/templates/ to the target project.

  • Source of truth for distribution: src/templates/.claude/commands/
  • Local dev copy: .claude/commands/ (used by this repo only)
  • When adding a new command, place it in both locations
  • If a command only exists in .claude/commands/ it will NOT reach end-user projects via init or update

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

KEY REFERENCE GUIDES

  • .claude/backlog-reference.md - All task management CLI commands
  • .claude/testing-setup.md - Test configuration and commands

BACKLOG TASK IMPLEMENTATION

When implementing a task from backlog/tasks/, you MUST use the agent specified in the task's Assigned Agent field. The task-maker selects the appropriate agent based on the work involved—do not override this assignment.

Task(subagent_type="backend-engineer", prompt="Implement task-123: ...")
Task(subagent_type="frontend-engineer", prompt="Implement task-456: ...")

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.
