claude-memory-framework: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-memory-framework CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from guachoxx/claude-memory-framework. It costs 912 tokens per session, scanned C, original, Unlicense.

Project instructions for Claude Memory Framework, a system that stores and organizes technical project knowledge. They explain its documents, providers, configuration, boot sequence, and navigation rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to start a session, understand the framework structure, find provider-specific setup, check active projects, and follow the required documentation-reading order.
Why use it?
They show developers where to find architecture, credentials, build, testing, and project-status information before making changes. This reduces time spent searching across the framework’s memory files.

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-memory-framework 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 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.

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.

<!-- User identity and provider settings live in claude-memory/CONFIG.md (gitignored). See claude-memory/providers/ for setup instructions. When current_user is not set, the framework operates in single-user mode. -->

Boot Sequence

  1. Read this file (CLAUDE.md) — you are here
  2. Read claude-memory/CONFIG.md — provider type, user identity, connection
  3. Read CONVENTIONS (from provider) — framework operational rules. Mandatory on every session.
  4. Read claude-memory/PROVIDER_CACHE.md — cached entity IDs (warm start) or discover provider structure (cold start)
  5. Read Project Index — overview of active projects (names, statuses, owners). Do NOT read individual project CURRENT STATUS pages at this point.
  6. Ready to work. Read a project's CURRENT STATUS only when the user asks to work on it.

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.
