hplan CLAUDE.md

hplan CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kimsanguine/hplan. It costs 1,379 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for hplan, a system that adds planning rules, checks, and staged agent work to an AI-assisted software project. They are loaded automatically into Claude Code sessions through a CLAUDE.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to guide project discovery, architecture, delivery, operations, and automated gate checks in an hplan-based repository.
Why use it?
They make the agent state assumptions, follow project disciplines, and pass required checks instead of jumping straight into uncertain implementation.

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

hplan 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 5d 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 — hplan Project Rules (ADK L1: Memory)

ADK Layer 1 — Memory: This file is loaded into every Claude Code session automatically. It encodes the 9 behavioral disciplines that prevent the most common AI-assisted PM failures. Clone this repo and these rules apply immediately — no manual setup required.

Customize the hplan Context section below for your project. Keep the 9 Rules as-is.

9 Behavioral Rules

Rule 1 — Think Before Coding

State assumptions explicitly in words. Stop and ask rather than guessing if ambiguous. If there are two or more interpretations, show both and let the user choose. Before adding new keys/fields to external systems (settings.json · API · DB), verify the official schema first — never guess key names.

Check: Are assumptions/interpretations stated at the top of the response? Did I proceed despite remaining ambiguity? If yes → violation.

Rule 2 — Simplicity First

Write the minimum code that solves the request. No speculative features. No abstractions for one-off code. No try/except for scenarios that can't happen.

Check: Did I add branches that won't be called? Did I build the next task in advance? If yes → violation.

Rule 3 — Surgical Changes

Touch only what's needed. No "improving" adjacent code, comments, or formatting. No refactoring things that aren't broken. Preserve existing style.

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.
