consult: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

consult CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kreek/consult. It costs 295 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Claude Code work on the Consult project, including where maintainer rules live and how to inspect the installed Pi coding-agent package.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following Consult’s layout, validation, versioning, release, and skill conventions, and checking Pi documentation or source when Consult depends on Pi internals.
Why use it?
It keeps changes in the correct repository and gives agents a consistent way to verify Pi’s current behavior without modifying Pi itself.

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

consult 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

CLAUDE.md

This file provides Claude-specific guidance for working on Consult. The main portable maintainer instructions live in AGENTS.md; follow that file for repo layout, validation, skill anatomy, versioning, and release rules.

Pi self-improvement source access

Pi can inspect its own installed package when runtime behavior, extension APIs, or self-improvement work depends on Pi internals. Treat that package as a read-only upstream source: read it to confirm current APIs and behavior, but make Consult changes in this repository unless the user explicitly asks to work on Pi itself.

For most npm-style installs, find Pi's package with:

npm root -g

Then look under @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent in that global node_modules directory. Package-manager installs usually place the same global node_modules tree under the manager prefix, for example <prefix>/lib/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent. Do not hard-code a machine-specific absolute path in repo docs or committed code. Resolve it at runtime with npm root -g, which pi, or the package manager's prefix command.

Useful read-only entry points are the package README.md, docs/, examples/, package.json, and exported type declarations. Follow linked docs before changing Consult extensions that depend on Pi APIs.

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.
