opensource-pipeline: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

opensource-pipeline CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from herakles-dev/opensource-pipeline. It costs 564 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A three-stage Claude Code workflow for turning a private project into an open-source project. It copies the project, removes secrets and private references, checks the result, and prepares documentation and packaging files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps fork a project for public release, verify that sensitive data was removed, and generate files such as a README, license, setup script, and contribution guide.
Why use it?
It addresses the risk of publishing credentials or other private material by adding an independent sanitization check before release. It also reduces the manual work needed to prepare basic project files.

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 herakles-dev/opensource-pipeline's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on opensource-pipeline 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 opensource-pipeline 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

opensource-pipeline 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.

opensource-pipeline

Stack: Claude Code Skills + Agents (Markdown) Purpose: Safely open-source any project through automated secret stripping, sanitization, and packaging.

What

A 3-agent pipeline for Claude Code that takes any private project and makes it safely open-sourceable. Strips secrets, verifies sanitization, generates professional docs (CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING).

Quick Start

./setup.sh                          # Install skill + agents into ~/.claude/
claude                              # Open Claude Code
# Then say: /opensource fork my-project

Architecture

skills/opensource/SKILL.md          # Orchestrator — routes commands, chains agents
agents/opensource-forker.md         # Stage 1: Copy, strip secrets, replace refs
agents/opensource-sanitizer.md      # Stage 2: Independent audit (read-only)
agents/opensource-packager.md       # Stage 3: Generate CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README

Flow: User -> Skill (orchestrator) -> Forker -> Sanitizer -> Packager -> User review -> GitHub

Commands

/opensource fork PROJECT            # Full pipeline
/opensource verify PROJECT          # Run sanitizer only
/opensource package PROJECT         # Run packager only

Key Files

skills/opensource/SKILL.md          Main skill — the entry point (routes to agents)
agents/opensource-forker.md         Copies project, strips secrets, generates .env.example
agents/opensource-sanitizer.md      Scans for leaked secrets, PII, internal refs (21 patterns)
agents/opensource-packager.md       Generates CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING
setup.sh                           One-command installer

How It Works

  1. Forker copies the project, strips secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords), replaces internal references (domains, paths, IPs) with placeholders, generates .env.example
  2. Sanitizer independently audits the fork — 7 scan categories, 21 regex patterns, PASS/FAIL verdict
  3. Packager generates professional open-source packaging — CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, issue templates
  4. User reviews, approves, and publishes to GitHub

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.
