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 D, and why

claude-code-vm CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories β€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency β€” 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

CLAUDE.md - Claude Code VM Deployment System

This file guides Claude Code when working with this Ansible-based deployment system for setting up development environments on remote Debian VMs.

🎯 Project Purpose

This project automates the deployment of Claude Code and associated development tools to remote Debian VMs. It creates fully-configured development environments with Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and AI-enhanced capabilities through MCP servers.

Key Point: This runs on your LOCAL machine to deploy TO remote VMs. It does NOT run on the target VMs themselves.

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.
