Lorekeeper: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Lorekeeper CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Jessinra/Lorekeeper. It costs 5,195 tokens per session, scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Lorekeeper, a personal AI memory server that stores and searches information and updates its own agent guidance over time. It uses a six-layer design with one-way dependencies between layers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing Lorekeeper’s memory tools, data storage, server interfaces, agent configuration, or code that must follow the six-layer import rules.
Why use it?
They preserve the project’s architecture and explain how memory features and self-updating development processes are expected to work.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is Jessinra/Lorekeeper's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Lorekeeper 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 Lorekeeper 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 B, and why

Lorekeeper 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 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.

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

Lorekeeper v2 — Living Agentic Loop

What this is: A personal AI memory MCP server, and simultaneously the first working sample of the Living Agentic Loop — a self-improving agent system that autonomously updates its own CLAUDE.md, skills, and code over time by capturing session learnings and feeding them back in.

The repo serves two purposes:

  1. The product: MCP server providing lore_search, lore_remember, lore_insert, lore_update, lore_forget, lore_recommend_links. Replaces the Node.js v1 with Python + LanceDB.
  2. The demonstration: The development process itself is looped. Session learnings are captured → consolidated → applied back to agent config. This repo is the proof of concept.

Data dir: ~/.lorekeeper (LanceDB + SQLite; controlled by LORE_DATA_DIR)


Architecture — Six-Layer (LKPR-105)

Lorekeeper follows a strict 6-layer architecture with unidirectional imports — a layer may import from layers below it, never above.

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.
