OCTALUME: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

OCTALUME CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Harery/OCTALUME. It costs 1,518 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Instructions that give Claude Code context for OCTALUME, a Python framework for managing software development through eight phases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on an OCTALUME project, especially when navigating its Python package, phase-based workflow, integrations, or compliance-related code.
Why use it?
They provide shared information about the framework's principles, folders, tools, agents, and compliance areas so the assistant can work within that structure.

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

This is Harery/OCTALUME's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on OCTALUME 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 OCTALUME 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 B, and why

OCTALUME CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 7d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

CLAUDE.md - OCTALUME Framework Context

This file is auto-loaded when Claude Code starts. It provides context for working with OCTALUME.


Framework Overview

OCTALUME (Octa = 8 phases, Lume = light/guidance) is an AI-native enterprise SDLC framework built in Python with 30+ MCP tools for Claude Code integration.

Core Principles

  1. Sequential phase progression with quality gates
  2. 30+ MCP tools for Claude Code integration
  3. Multi-agent orchestration (9 specialized agents)
  4. Compliance ready (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX)
  5. Complete traceability from requirements to deployment

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.
