prompt-vault: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

prompt-vault CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lemon-etvibe/prompt-vault. It costs 737 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Claude Code plugin that records user prompts and completed work in project-local log files, so progress can be restored after the conversation runs out of context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize logging, record completed work phases, view progress summaries, create HTML reports, and restore checkpoints around context compaction.
Why use it?
It preserves a project history and status instead of relying on the current conversation to remember earlier work.

This is lemon-etvibe/prompt-vault's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on prompt-vault 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 prompt-vault 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

prompt-vault 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 10d 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.

prompt-vault — Claude Code Plugin

Overview

A Claude Code plugin that systematically logs user prompts and Claude's execution results for each phase during project development, preserving progress state even through context compactions.

Design Philosophy

  • A vault that safely stores prompts and work history — protects progress state even when context is compacted
  • Reusable plugin form for all projects
  • Logs stored in project's .local/logs/ (excluded from git tracking)

File Structure and Roles

File Role
.claude-plugin/plugin.json Plugin manifest (name, version, description)
skills/init/SKILL.md /prompt-vault:init — Initialize logging environment (.local/logs, .gitignore, CLAUDE.md, .config)

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.
