contextdocs: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

contextdocs CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from littlebearapps/contextdocs. It costs 1,152 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Markdown instruction set for ContextDocs, a Claude Code plugin that creates and maintains guidance files for several coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying ContextDocs or working with its generated AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Windsurf, or Gemini guidance files.
Why use it?
It keeps project rules, commands, and conventions in shared context files so coding agents can use consistent information. It also documents checks for budgets, links, spelling, and file metadata.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is littlebearapps/contextdocs's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on contextdocs 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 contextdocs 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

contextdocs 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 1mo 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.

ContextDocs

Canonical description (use this in all listings and submissions):

Your AI agent maintains its own context files — a Claude Code plugin with an AGENTS-first model that covers Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, and 3 more tools.

Pure Markdown Claude Code plugin — no JavaScript, no Python, no build step, no runtime dependencies. Signal Gate filtering, Context Guard hooks, and 0-100 health scoring.

Commands

  • Token budget test: bash tests/check-token-budgets.sh
  • llms.txt validation: bash tests/validate-llms-txt.sh
  • Spell check: typos (config: _typos.toml, Australian English)
  • Frontmatter lint: python3 tests/validate-frontmatter.py

Conventions

  • Australian English: realise, colour, behaviour, licence (noun), license (verb)
  • Conventional Commits: feat:, fix:, docs:, chore: — release-please automates versioning
  • Line budgets: CLAUDE.md bridge <80, AGENTS.md <120, other bridge files <60

Architecture

  • AGENTS-first generation: AGENTS.md is the canonical shared context for commands, conventions, constraints, and security notes
  • Thin bridges: CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/agents.mdc, optional Copilot instructions, .clinerules/agents.md, .windsurfrules, and GEMINI.md should add only tool-specific behaviour
  • Modern formats: Modern Cursor uses .cursor/rules/*.mdc with frontmatter (description / globs / alwaysApply); modern Cline uses the .clinerules/ directory with optional paths: per-file frontmatter. Legacy .cursorrules and flat .clinerules are preserved only when already present
  • Optional bridges: .github/copilot-instructions.md is optional — Copilot's coding agent loads AGENTS.md natively (since Aug 2025); only emit when adding tool-specific scoping
  • Compatibility bridges: .windsurfrules and GEMINI.md remain generated for now for tool compatibility

When Modifying

  • Add a skill: Create .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md + commands/<name>.md, update README.md, AGENTS.md, llms.txt, and AGENTS-first generation guidance if shared output behaviour changed
  • Add a command: Create commands/<name>.md with YAML frontmatter, update README.md, AGENTS.md, llms.txt
  • Add an agent: Create .claude/agents/<name>.md with frontmatter, update AGENTS.md, llms.txt, context-guard SKILL.md
  • Change quality standards: Edit .claude/rules/context-quality.md — propagates automatically
  • Change shared conventions: Update AGENTS.md first, then only the bridge docs whose tool-specific notes change
  • Bump version: Handled by release-please from conventional commit messages

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.
