What is ai-workflow-starter CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file for an AI workflow starter repository. It tells an AI assistant to read the main project guide first and describes the available commands for managing issues and workflows.

Use it when working on that repository’s issues, workflow commands, or project instructions.

It reduces confusion about which instructions are authoritative and how project tasks should be recorded. It also sets a boundary against changing the issue state without following the repository’s process.

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 5.1	$0.00098	$0.00098
Opus 5.5	$0.00039	$0.00039
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00020

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-workflow-starter 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 2mo 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.

CLAUDE.md · 10 lines

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Read AGENTS.md first. It is the canonical source for project guidance and the AI issue workflow.

Claude-specific notes:

Use /workflow for workflow guidance when available.
Use /issue commands for issue management when available; command docs live in .claude/commands/.
If slash commands are unavailable, update .issues/ manually according to AGENTS.md.
Do not stage or unstage files unless explicitly asked.

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.
