open-agent-kit: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

open-agent-kit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from goondocks-co/open-agent-kit. It costs 985 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of open-agent-kit copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents working on the open-agent-kit project, including its required source-of-truth file and development workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when contributing code: read the constitution, find an existing pattern, implement the change, run the required check, and update relevant documentation.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of changes that violate the project’s architecture, conventions, documentation rules, or quality checks.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is goondocks-co/open-agent-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on open-agent-kit 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 open-agent-kit 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

open-agent-kit 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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to open-agent-kit copilot-instructions.md — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Instructions for AI Contributors

You are an AI coding agent working in this repository.

Source of truth (hard rules)

Read and follow oak/constitution.md. It is the authoritative specification for architecture, conventions, golden paths, and quality gates.

  • If anything conflicts with oak/constitution.md, oak/constitution.md wins.
  • If you are unsure how to apply a rule, stop and ask rather than guessing.
  • The canonical Anchor Index lives in oak/constitution.md.

Required workflow

  1. Read oak/constitution.md (especially the golden paths + hard rules + DoD).
  2. Search first: find the closest existing implementation and mirror it (use the Top Anchors below).
  3. Implement the change following the constitution.
  4. Run the quality gate: make check (must pass).
  5. Update docs to prevent drift:
    • Review/update README if behavior/workflows changed.
    • Update the relevant feature docs (or create them) when touching feature behavior.
  6. If a better pattern is needed:
    • Record the decision (RFC for formal, doc for informal) and update rules/docs so the new pattern becomes standard.

Non-negotiables

  • No magic strings or numbers anywhere (including tests).
  • Prefer proper engineering over shortcuts; fix root causes, not symptoms.
  • Commands should be idempotent by default.
  • Templates shipped by OAK are managed by OAK and overwritten on upgrade (no user overrides).
  • Narrow lanes for deviation; when unclear, ask.

Editable install (MUST preserve)

MUST NOT run uv tool install or uv pip install without the -e flag. Always use make setup or make sync instead of ad-hoc install commands. See §7.3 of oak/constitution.md for the full rule, rationale, and verification command.

Top Anchors (shorthand)

These are the first places to look. The full Anchor Index is in oak/constitution.md.

Add a New Feature (vertical slice exemplar)

  • src/open_agent_kit/features/strategic_planning/manifest.yaml
  • src/open_agent_kit/features/strategic_planning/rfc.py
  • src/open_agent_kit/features/strategic_planning/commands/
  • src/open_agent_kit/features/strategic_planning/templates/

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.
