obey: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

obey CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Lexxes-Projects/obey. It costs 398 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for obey, a Claude Code plugin that stores user rules and adds them to future coding sessions. It uses Bash scripts, hooks, and separate global, stack, and project rule files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports adding, removing, and listing rules, injecting them into agent context, enforcing them before tool use, and detecting when a user may want to save a rule.
Why use it?
It helps an agent preserve coding preferences across sessions without modifying the user's CLAUDE.md files.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is Lexxes-Projects/obey's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on obey 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 obey 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

obey 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

obey — Claude Code Plugin

Makes Claude actually follow your rules by storing, injecting, and enforcing user instructions across sessions.

Stack

  • Language: Bash scripts (no compilation needed)
  • Dependencies: jq
  • Plugin format: Claude Code plugin (.claude-plugin/plugin.json)

Architecture

  • skills/ — /remember, /rules, /forget slash commands
  • agents/ — rule-classifier (Haiku-based scope detection)
  • hooks/ — SessionStart, PreToolUse, PreCompact, UserPromptSubmit
  • scripts/ — bash scripts for rule CRUD, context injection, enforcement

Key Design Decisions

  • Bash over Python: Zero external dependencies (unlike hookify which needs Python)
  • Grep-compatible regex: Patterns use POSIX ERE ((a|b) not (?:a|b)) for grep -iE
  • Three storage files: global, stack, project — maps to Claude Code's scope hierarchy
  • No CLAUDE.md modification: Rules injected via hook additionalContext, not by editing user files
  • Conservative auto-detection: UserPromptSubmit only suggests /remember, never auto-saves

Status: MVP

  • Rule storage (global/stack/project scopes)
  • Rule CRUD (add, remove, list)
  • SessionStart hook (inject rules into context)
  • PreCompact hook (rules survive compaction)
  • PreToolUse hook (block violations)
  • UserPromptSubmit hook (detect natural rule patterns)
  • /remember skill
  • /rules skill
  • /forget skill
  • rule-classifier agent
  • README
  • Testing with real Claude Code sessions
  • GitHub repo + release
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.
