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

kopi 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 2d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

@AGENTS.md

Mandatory Pre-Work Verification Process

⚠️ For ALL work, the following MUST be completed before starting any task:

Required Checklist

  • CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md have been re-read
  • Relevant template documents have been reviewed (docs/templates/)
  • Existing similar documents have been referenced to understand format
  • Project-specific standards > general knowledge priority has been confirmed

Additional Verification for Documentation Tasks

  • Applicable template has been read and loaded first
  • Template structure is being followed completely
  • Completed work has been re-verified against template compliance

If this verification process is skipped, immediately STOP work and report to the user. When uncertain or unclear about anything, do NOT interpret independently - always confirm with the user.

Rationale

Ignoring project-established documentation standards invalidates the team's entire documentation effort and destroys quality consistency. Prioritizing project-specific standards over general knowledge is essential for collaborative development.

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.
