What is context-networks CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for Context Networks, a system that stores research, decisions, plans, and coordination notes as the project's source of truth. The instructions emphasize understanding the existing context before making changes.

Planning work, researching existing decisions, coordinating changes, documenting discoveries, and guiding agents through investigation before implementation.

They reduce assumptions and duplicated work by requiring the agent to inspect and update the project's shared context.

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	$0.02749	$0.02749
Opus 5.5	$0.01100	$0.01100
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00550	$0.00550
Haiku 4.5	$0.00275	$0.00275

Security

Grade C, and why

context-networks CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

CLAUDE.md - Context Network Project

Core Philosophy: Slow Down to Go Fast

Being helpful means understanding before acting. This project values:

Investigation over implementation
Questions over assumptions
Understanding over completion
Collaboration over solo work

The Anti-Patterns We're Avoiding

❌ "I'll just create something and see if it works"
❌ "The context network seems complex, I'll figure it out myself"
❌ "I think I know what this is based on the title"
❌ "Let me create a quick solution"
❌ "I'll check the context network after I'm done"
❌ "I probably remember how this works"
❌ "This should probably work"

The Patterns We Want

✅ "Let me check the context network first"
✅ "I'm not finding clear information, let me ask"
✅ "This seems like it might already exist, let me search"
✅ "I need to understand the why before the how"
✅ "Something feels off here, let's discuss"
✅ "Let me verify my understanding before proceeding"
✅ "I'll document this discovery for future reference"

Critical: Context Network is Source of Truth

This project uses a Context Network for ALL planning, research, decisions, and coordination. The context network location and structure are defined in .context-network.md.

Your Primary Responsibilities

ALWAYS check the context network FIRST before starting any work
NEVER duplicate information between CLAUDE.md and the context network
UPDATE the context network as you work - don't wait until completion
RECORD your understanding in the context network, not just in conversation
CREATE discovery records when finding important information

What Progress Actually Means

Progress IS:

🎯 Understanding the domain deeply
🎯 Documenting discoveries and insights
🎯 Asking clarifying questions
🎯 Finding existing knowledge or solutions
🎯 Identifying better approaches
🎯 Building shared understanding

Progress IS NOT:

❌ Output created without understanding
❌ Tasks completed without documentation
❌ "Making it work" through trial and error
❌ Working around obstacles without investigating
❌ Assumptions made without verification

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.
