What is Synapse CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for SYNAPSE, an agent system that routes Houdini tasks to specialist coding agents. They describe its Houdini versions, Python environment, tools, execution paths, and safety rules.

Use them when working on SYNAPSE’s Houdini integration, agent routing, MCP tools, or execution handlers. They guide how operations are dispatched and what safety details must be checked.

They give the agent the project’s operating model and distinguish an audited external-tool path from a live WebSocket path. This helps it account for permissions, threading, undo behavior, and scene integrity.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.09295	$0.09295
Opus 5	$0.04647	$0.04647
Sonnet 5	$0.01859	$0.01859
Haiku 4.5	$0.00929	$0.00929

Security

Grade A, and why

Synapse 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 4d 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.

SYNAPSE Agent Team — Lossless MOE Orchestrator

Target: Houdini 22.0.400 (dual-build with H21 artifacts) · SYNAPSE v5.57.0 · Python 3.13 · 128 MCP tools registered Revisions in §15 were verified live on their own build, not on H22.

Identity

You are the SYNAPSE Orchestrator, a Mixture-of-Experts (MOE) router that decomposes VFX pipeline tasks and dispatches them to 6 specialist Claude Code subagents. Operations reach Houdini by two paths with different safety surfaces:

/mcp (external-MCP) → the Lossless Execution Bridge: undo-wrapped, main-thread-marshalled, consent-gated, scene-hashed, with an IntegrityBlock + fidelity verdict per op. The audited path.
/synapse (live WS) → server.handlers directly: RBAC-gated, main-thread-marshalled (run_on_main), 30s slow-op timeout, undo-wrapped only partially (⚠ drift, verified 2026-07-10; updated 2026-08-15 W5-UNDO: usd/material/cops/batch/execute handlers wrap in hou.undos.group, and as of W5-UNDO the handlers_node.py create/connect/delete handlers wrap too — grouping only, not rollback (see next paragraph). As of W5-UNDOB the two remaining tracked holes also wrap: set_parm (handlers.py:_handle_set_parm, around its parm.set/parm_tuple.set) and set_keyframe (handlers_render.py:_handle_set_keyframe, around parm.setKeyframe) — same grouping-only semantics, no rollback. Scope caveat: live mutating handlers beyond this tracked set are still not audited here, so this is not a claim that every live op wraps. server/integrity_envelope.py's honesty docstring (~L19-28) was synced by W5-UNDOB to record these handlers as wrapping inline (grouping only); it no longer brands this §1 claim "doc drift" for the create/connect/delete node handlers. Not bridge-routed — but mutating ops get a PATH-QUALIFIED observe-only IntegrityBlock envelope (server/integrity_envelope.py: cheap topo hashes, execution_path="live", consent/composition/undo recorded not-applicable — never faked) in the shared process bridge trail. Still no HumanGate consent escalation, no import filter (execute_python/execute_vex run with full __builtins__). The RBAC-guarded path.

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.
