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-gauntlet 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 6d 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

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code specifics

Each directory's CLAUDE.md is a generated twin of its AGENTS.md and loads only when you read a file in that directory. Edit AGENTS.md, then run python3 scripts/sync_agent_rules.py. The twin exists because the on-demand loader injects a memory file verbatim and does not expand @imports.

  • The review pipeline runs as a single Workflow tool call from skills/code-gauntlet/SKILL.md, which owns Phases 1–2 (prepare) and Phase 8 (deliver). The eight review stages run inside workflows/pipeline.js.
  • Durable project knowledge belongs in auto-memory, not here. This file is loaded on every turn, so an addition must fail the test "would removing this cause Claude to make mistakes?" before it earns a place — and must not already be stated by a comment at the code it describes.
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.
