open-second-brain: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

open-second-brain CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from itechmeat/open-second-brain. It costs 824 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for AI coding agents that explain how to keep the project version consistent across its package and manifest files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the project version or preparing a feature branch and pull request. They specify which file to edit and which command checks or synchronizes the other files.
Why use it?
They prevent mismatched version numbers from causing the continuous-integration checks to fail. They also clarify when a version change belongs in a feature pull request.

Written for Claude Code: SessionEnd hook event. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Codex.

This is itechmeat/open-second-brain's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on open-second-brain 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 open-second-brain 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

open-second-brain 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 21d 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.

Guidance for agents working in this repository.

Versioning

package.json version is the single source of truth. The version is mirrored into several manifests (plugin.yaml, plugins/hermes/plugin.yaml, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .codex-plugin/plugin.json, plugins/codex/.codex-plugin/plugin.json, openclaw.plugin.json), pyproject.toml and uv.lock.

Never hand-edit the version in those mirrored files. To bump the version, edit package.json only, then propagate with:

bun run scripts/sync-version.ts

CI gates on bun run scripts/sync-version.ts --check (the validate job, step "Verify manifest version sync"). Hand-editing one file leaves the others drifted and fails that gate before any other check runs. Run the --check form locally before pushing a version change.

WHEN to bump: inside the feature PR, before the first push

The version bump is part of the change itself, NOT a separate later step. Bump package.json (and run sync-version.ts) on the feature branch and include it in the SAME pull request as the feature, before you push. Every release-bearing squash commit on main carries its version in the title - e.g. feat: … (v1.5.0) (#NN) - because the bump rode in with the feature.

Concretely, for any feature/fix PR that ships a release:

  1. Add the CHANGELOG.md entry under the new ## [X.Y.Z] - <date> heading AND its [X.Y.Z]: …/compare/… link-reference at the bottom of the file.
  2. Bump package.json to X.Y.Z and run bun run scripts/sync-version.ts.
  3. Commit both, then push the branch and open the PR.

Do this even though main is protected (direct pushes are rejected; all changes go through a PR) - which is exactly why the bump cannot be a post-merge step: a forgotten bump means package.json and the CHANGELOG heading disagree on main and a second PR is needed to reconcile them.

This OVERRIDES the generic feature-release-playbook default ("do not bump version mid-PR; bump once in the release phase"). That default assumes a maintainer can push the bump straight to main at release time; this repo cannot, so the bump belongs in the feature PR. The GitHub release (gh release create vX.Y.Z) is published AFTER that PR merges and only tags the already-bumped commit - it never changes the version.

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.
