claude-code-boilerplate CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from levu304/claude-code-boilerplate. It costs 13,209 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction template that records coding standards, tools, architecture, and technology choices for a software project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a project's language, package manager, frameworks, database tools, testing tools, and formatting rules.
Why use it?
It gives an coding agent clear project rules and setup details instead of making it infer them from the codebase.

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

claude-code-boilerplate CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
