Written for Claude Code: PostToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is HiAgencia/hi-claude's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hi-claude 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 hi-claude configures →

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

hi-claude 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 11d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

hi-claude (plugin source)

hi-claude governs this work — the format, the practice, the retroactivity of every session. Its seven principles, their four axes and the hierarchy that settles conflicts between them are defined in skills/memory-protocol/constitution.md, which the session hook injects at every start. Where form, criterion or scope is in doubt, hi-claude decides.

Claude Code plugin packaging the hi-claude working method: seven principles on four axes with the hierarchy that settles them, governed memory, a curated CLAUDE.md, a register of open work, every content with a declared destination instead of a new file, text that gets pruned when it stops being true, subagents that investigate and never decide, an inventory of what a project can use, a turn that does not end stale, and audits. This repo is BOTH the plugin and its marketplace.

Start here

  1. docs/ESTADO.md — what exists: every hook, skill and auditor with what it guarantees, plus the contract gotchas that were measured rather than deduced.
  2. docs/ROADMAP.md — a pointer: open work for this plugin is kept in the maintainers' workspace, one level up, where both repos are visible. The runnable session-done criterion lives there, in its §0.
  3. docs/INDEX.md — everything else.

How to work here — the hi-claude method

  • Persistent memory lives in ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/; MEMORY.md is its index — consult it before non-trivial work, even when you think you remember.
  • Only TIMELESS, PREFERENTIAL, or LIMITING knowledge enters this file or memory — paths included: only timeless docs earn a reference here. Open work goes to docs/ROADMAP.md.
  • ALWAYS consult before saving/modifying/deleting in memory or this file.
  • Documentation does NOT live here: docs/ with docs/INDEX.md as the entry point; this file only references paths.
  • Clean root; everything in its folder.

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.
