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

kannon 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.

What it actually says

Database Migrations (dbmate)

Migrations use dbmate. Always use dbmate to create a new migrations. Please in the same commits do not add multiple migrations

Commit messages

Conventional Commits are mandatory: <type>[(scope)][!]: <description>, with feat, fix, perf, revert, docs, refactor, test, build, ci, chore. release-please derives the version and CHANGELOG.md from them, and PR titles must follow the same format (PRs are squash-merged). See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Agent skills

Issue tracker

GitHub issues in kannon-email/kannon, via the gh CLI. See docs/agents/issue-tracker.md.

Triage labels

Canonical defaults (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix). See docs/agents/triage-labels.md.

Domain docs

Single-context: CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ at the repo root. See docs/agents/domain.md.

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.
