langchain CLAUDE.md

langchain CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from langchain-ai/langchain. It costs 4,469 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of langchain AGENTS.md, MIT.

A set of project instructions for LangChain, a software framework for building applications with language models. It covers development rules, security-plan checks, and the structure of its Python monorepo, which is one repository containing multiple packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or reviewing code in the LangChain monorepo.
Why use it?
It helps an agent follow the repository's architecture, package boundaries, tools, and security requirements.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

Not installable on its own: it reads a path above its own folder, which only exists inside its repository. The line is uv run langchain-profiles refresh --provider openai --data-dir ../partners/openai/langchain_openai/data.

About the project

LangChain is a framework for building software agents and applications powered by large language models, using reusable components and integrations. Developers use it to connect models, tools, and other services when creating AI applications and agent workflows. The catalogue includes MCP integrations and instructions related to LangChain.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code.

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

langchain 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to langchain AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Global development guidelines for the LangChain monorepo

This document provides context to understand the LangChain Python project and assist with development.

Corridor security analysis

When Corridor's analyzePlan tool is available, create a plan and use the tool to analyze it before generating or modifying code. Apply the resulting security guidance before writing code.

  • Core layer (langchain-core): Base abstractions, interfaces, and protocols. Users should not need to know about this layer directly.
  • Implementation layer (langchain): Concrete implementations and high-level public utilities
  • Integration layer (partners/): Third-party service integrations. Note that this monorepo is not exhaustive of all LangChain integrations; some are maintained in separate repos, such as langchain-ai/langchain-google and langchain-ai/langchain-aws. Usually these repos are cloned at the same level as this monorepo, so if needed, you can refer to their code directly by navigating to ../langchain-google/ from this monorepo.
  • Testing layer (standard-tests/): Standardized integration tests for partner integrations

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.
