hive-orchestrator: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

hive-orchestrator CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from intertwine/hive-orchestrator. It costs 972 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Hive, a command-line system that coordinates project tasks and agent work. They describe where task state, project context, autonomy rules, and release status are kept.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when starting substantial Hive work, checking workspace health, loading project context, or maintaining release documentation.
Why use it?
They tell agents which sources to trust and which checks to run before changing the repository, reducing conflicts with the project's current state.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Codex.

This is intertwine/hive-orchestrator's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hive-orchestrator 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 hive-orchestrator configures →

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

hive-orchestrator 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 today.

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

Use Hive through the v2 substrate and CLI.

This repository is CLI-first. If you are operating here, use the commands and files below.

Working Rules

  • If you are just using Hive, prefer an installed hive CLI in a clean workspace. Repo checkout helpers are for maintainers.
  • Canonical task state lives in .hive/tasks/*.md.
  • Human project context lives in projects/*/AGENCY.md.
  • Autonomy policy lives in projects/*/PROGRAM.md.
  • If repo-local docs, skills, memory, and current git state disagree, trust current repo state and tests first, then repo-local docs and PROGRAM.md.
  • Keep docs/V2_3_STATUS.md current for the shipped v2.3 line, keep docs/V2_4_STATUS.md current for the shipped v2.4 line, and keep docs/V2_5_STATUS.md current for the active v2.5 draft release line.
  • Before substantial repo work, prefer make workspace-status, or check git status --short, git worktree list, gh pr status, and hive doctor --json directly.
  • In a fresh maintainer worktree, run uv sync --extra dev before pytest or make check so the test-only dependencies are actually installed.
  • Build context with hive context startup --project <project-id> --task <task-id> --json.
  • Use make session PROJECT=<project-id> only from a repo checkout when you want a saved startup bundle.
  • Refresh projections with hive sync projections --json after substrate changes.
  • Use hive driver doctor <driver> and hive sandbox doctor <backend> when debugging runtime or sandbox behavior.
  • Run validation appropriate to the changed surface: focused tests for narrow changes, make check for broad Python/runtime changes or required release/merge gates, and affected links/examples or documentation tests for documentation-only changes. Run make console-check for console changes. Preserve required CI and governed-run evaluation gates.
  • If you request Claude review, treat it as pending until GitHub shows a new Claude comment or review artifact on the latest PR head. An eyes reaction alone does not count as completion.
  • For maintainer-critical PRs, local Claude review is an acceptable primary or fallback review path when GitHub-managed review is delayed or ambiguous. The built-in claude -p "/review <pr-number>" flow works well for this. Summarize the resulting findings in the PR thread.
  • After merging, watch the push CI run on main. A red merge commit is new blocking work, even if the PR checks were green.

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.
