ai-workflow-harness: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ai-workflow-harness CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kyungseo/ai-workflow-harness. It costs 355 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository entry instructions for several coding tools, including Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and Cursor. They point to shared project behavior, workflow, status, and validation documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them at the beginning of a task to find the current project status, shared operating rules, supported workflows, and the correct next action.
Why use it?
They give coding agents a consistent way to understand the repository before starting work and avoid loading unrelated instructions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is kyungseo/ai-workflow-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-workflow-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-workflow-harness configures →

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

ai-workflow-harness 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 9d 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

Claude Code entry point for this repository. Keep this file thin. Global behavior principles live in docs/BEHAVIOR-PRINCIPLES.md. Shared operating rules live in docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md.

@docs/BEHAVIOR-PRINCIPLES.md @docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md

Entry Contract

MUST:

  • Treat this file and AGENTS.md as equal tool-specific entry points. Supported tools are Claude Code / Codex / Antigravity (Gemini-based) / Cursor. Antigravity has no dedicated entry file: it auto-loads root AGENTS.md and consumes .agents/skills/ (the Codex surface).
  • Follow docs/BEHAVIOR-PRINCIPLES.md for global behavioral principles that apply to all tasks.
  • Follow docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md for common workflow, context routing, status rules, and validation defaults.
  • Read docs/STATUS.md current sections before choosing or continuing work.
  • Do not check docs/BOOTSTRAP.md just because it exists; use it only when docs/STATUS.md Next Actions explicitly points to scaffold bootstrap/onboarding work.
  • Use .claude/commands/ for repeated Claude Code workflows when available.
  • Do not read .claude/commands/*.md at session start; load a command file only when that workflow is explicitly invoked or clearly relevant.
  • Follow docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md Approval Matrix before execution, scope expansion, state changes, and every commit.

NEVER:

  • Duplicate shared rules here.
  • Bypass docs/STATUS.md or the Approval Matrix.
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.
