flux-memory: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

flux-memory CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from harsh5i/flux-memory. It costs 682 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Flux Memory, a Python and SQLite system that stores connected pieces of information with source labels, clustering, decay, and administrative safeguards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Flux Memory's storage, graph, propagation, clustering, feedback, health monitoring, or administrative controls.
Why use it?
They state design constraints that must be preserved when modifying the memory system.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is harsh5i/flux-memory's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on flux-memory 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 flux-memory 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

flux-memory 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 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.

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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Flux Memory v0.5 — CLAUDE.md

Spec: docs/flux-memory-docs.md
Checkpoint log: keep local checkpoint files outside this repository.

Hard constraints (never deviate)

  • Python 3.10+, SQLite 3.35+ with WAL mode
  • networkx.community.louvain_communities for clustering — NOT python-louvain
  • Lazy decay only (effective_weight computed at read time from last_used)
  • MAX_EDGES_PER_GRAIN cap with weakest-edge eviction
  • Every grain has provenance: user_stated / ai_stated / ai_inferred / external_source
  • Admin channel gatekeeper protocol (§7.6): confirmation token, rate limiting, audit log, 24h purge undo window. Not exposed via MCP. (Password/TOTP gating removed by owner decision 2026-06-11 — confirmation token remains.)
  • Soft cluster membership with touch-weight accumulator and split/merge remapping (§13.2). NOT disjoint.
  • Multi-signal feedback with provenance multipliers (§7.1). NOT single boolean.
  • Health Monitor is first-class — build alongside the engine, not after.

Development rules

  • One algorithm at a time, with pytest tests before moving on.
  • Commit at each Track 1 step boundary with message: Track 1 step N: description (§X.Y)
  • Spec unclear? STOP and note the question. Do not silently improvise.
  • Internal helpers not in the spec: implement simplest version consistent with usage and note the choice.
  • Structured JSON logging (§11.5).
  • All parameters from config.py — none hardcoded.

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.
