In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing Genesis files, checking its shell-based gate, or changing code that writes into users' repositories.
Why use it?
They clarify the limited environment and the required validation gate, reducing unsafe assumptions about databases, deployments, credentials, or network access.

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 gabrieldabbah/genesis's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on genesis 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 genesis 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

genesis 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 6d 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Genesis

What this is: the source of a Claude Code plugin — skills, hooks and templates that scaffold new projects and bring existing ones up to standard. Instructions in English, not application code; there is no build and no test suite, only the gate below. Who is exposed: anyone who installs it. Everything here runs on other people's machines and writes files into other people's repositories.

Environment

There is no database, no deploy target, no queue and no bucket. CI is one workflow (.github/workflows/gate.yml) running scripts/gate.sh on pull requests and pushes to dev/main; it reads the repository and nothing else, needs no secret, and has no deploy step. No credential is needed to work on this repo, it contains no .env, and nothing in it opens a socket or makes a network call. The complete list of what it touches:

  • GitHub. origin is https://github.com/gabrieldabbah/genesis.git, public (from git remote -v). Branches are dev and main only; PRs go from dev to main (skills/generate-pr/SKILL.md). Reached with git/gh from a dev machine.
  • Provider domains are data, not connections. Every service endpoint named in this repo (api.stripe.com, *.supabase.co, …) lives in integrations/registry/*.yaml as instructions for a future scaffolded project. Nothing in this repo dials them, and the registry files carry env-key names only, never values.
  • Two Stop hooks, both currently inert. .claude/settings.json registers todo-archive-reminder.mjs for sessions in this repo — it exits silently because the repo has no TODO.md/archive pair for it to find — and denies Read on .env*, secrets/, *.key, *.pem, ~/.ssh, ~/.aws and other credential stores. hooks/hooks.json registers stop-acceptance.mjs on machines that install the plugin; it exits immediately unless .scratch/acceptance.json exists, which only a running genesis build writes.
  • templates/env/ ships .env.example, .env.development and .env.production tracked on purpose (.gitignore un-ignores them). Every value in all three is empty; they are placeholder templates.
  • .claude/ is personal except two paths. .gitignore ignores .claude/* but tracks .claude/hooks/ and .claude/settings.json so working on genesis dogfoods what it ships. .claude/skills/ (local generate-pr and git-commit helpers) stays on this machine and is not shipped.

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.
