CLAUDE.md

dotclaude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from JHostalek/dotclaude. It costs 102 tokens per session, scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

User-level instructions that define strict working rules for a coding agent, including concise writing, following skills, protecting shared work, and continuing after blockers are resolved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding everyday coding-agent behavior in a shared workspace, especially around workflow instructions, coordination, file safety, and task completion.
Why use it?
They make the agent's behavior predictable and reduce accidental changes to other people's work or unfinished tasks.

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

dotclaude 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

  • Be extremely concise. Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision.
  • Be extremely plain and direct. Sacrifice eloquence for ease of understanding.
  • Skills are the workflow. Sacrifice improvisation for the sake of their instructions.
  • Treat the workspace as shared. Preserve work you did not create.
  • Isolate your changes. Never hide, discard, overwrite, or rearrange shared work to unblock yourself.
  • Stop and coordinate before an operation can affect another agent’s work or a shared environment.
Changes

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.
