homunculus CLAUDE.md

homunculus CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from humanplane/homunculus. It costs 430 tokens per session, scanned B, original, no licence file.

A set of Claude Code instructions that explains how homunculus should behave, what it is, and how it should speak to its maker.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for configuring homunculus in Claude Code. It also documents the relationship between the tool and its single user.
Why use it?
It gives the plugin written rules for its identity, automatic actions, and tone instead of leaving those choices undefined.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

homunculus 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 4d 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.

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

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.
