sibyl CLAUDE.md

sibyl CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from hyperb1iss/sibyl. It costs 2,212 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for Sibyl, a memory and task-coordination system built around SurrealDB, a database that stores connected data. It covers the server, command-line client, web app, Python library, and required research workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search and add knowledge, manage tasks, plan sprints, audit the project, and understand how its server, command-line client, web interface, and Python library fit together.
Why use it?
It directs the coding agent to the right project documentation and tools, helping it use Sibyl safely and follow the project’s required work cycle.

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 A, and why

sibyl 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 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.

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.

Sibyl Development Guide

Project Overview

Sibyl is a SurrealDB-native memory system - an MCP server and web app providing persistent memory, search, and task coordination through a unified graph, content, and auth runtime.

See package READMEs for detailed documentation:


Sibyl Integration

This project uses Sibyl as its own knowledge repository.

ALWAYS Use Skills

Use /sibyl for ALL Sibyl operations. This skill knows the correct patterns and handles authentication properly.

  • /sibyl - Search, explore, add knowledge, manage tasks, project audits, sprint planning

Never call Sibyl MCP tools or CLI directly without going through a skill first.

Use /uv before running any uv commands. The skill provides current best practices and prevents common mistakes.

  • NEVER run uv pip — it bypasses the project's dependency management. Use uv add, uv sync, or uv run instead.

Research → Do → Reflect Cycle

Every significant task follows this cycle:

1. RESEARCH (before coding)

/sibyl search "topic"
/sibyl explore patterns

2. DO (while coding)

/sibyl task start <id>

3. REFLECT (after completing)

/sibyl task complete <id> --learnings "What I learned"
/sibyl add "Pattern Title" "What, why, how, caveats"

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.
