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

hinge-auto 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.

Claude Code instructions

See AGENTS.md — same content, kept canonical there so Codex, Cursor, Aider, and other agents that respect the AGENTS.md convention stay in sync with you.

Claude-specific notes

  • This repo defaults to the Anthropic backend (JUDGE_BACKEND = "anthropic" in config.py). If the user wants to use their Claude Max subscription's Agent SDK credit instead of API-key billing, that's a forthcoming option (Anthropic enabled subscription-funded programmatic credits on June 15, 2026). A third backend judge_claude_code.py shelling out to claude -p is the natural place to wire it; not implemented yet — flag as future work if asked.
  • When walking the user through setup (see AGENTS.md Phase 1-5), use your file-editing and shell tools to make the config changes directly, rather than asking the user to copy-paste. Show the diff before writing.
Changes

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.
