Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PreToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is maksutovic/joycraft's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on joycraft 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 joycraft 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

joycraft AGENTS.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Joycraft

What: A CLI + Claude Code plugin that scaffolds and upgrades AI development harnesses. npx joycraft@latest update installs skills, templates, boundaries, and documentation structure into any project, taking it from Level 1 to Level 4 on Dan Shapiro's 5 Levels of Vibe Coding.

Component: npm package (CLI) + agent skills (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Copilot, omp) | Updated: 2026-09-06


Behavioral Boundaries

ALWAYS

  • Run pnpm test && pnpm typecheck before committing (pnpm test already runs once and exits — --run is not a valid pnpm flag here and fails)
  • Run pnpm sync-skills after editing anything under src/skills/ or src/local-skills/, and commit the regenerated + installed copies in the same commit — the installed trees are .claude/skills, .agents/skills, .pi/skills, .github/skills, and .omp/skills, and a stale one is what shipped twelve wrong copilot skills in 0.7.3
  • Commit style: verb: concise message
  • Reference atomic specs when implementing features — each spec is in docs/features/<slug>/specs/
  • Test against multiple stack types (Node.js, Python, Rust, Go at minimum)
  • Push to feature branches after each commit
  • Open a PR when all specs in a feature are complete
  • Run /release-docs-sync before gh pr create — a PR that touches src/, templates/, or scripts/ must change CHANGELOG.md or carry a Docs: none — <reason> line in its body; a PreToolUse hook and the Docs Sync CI check both run scripts/check-docs-sync.mjs and block otherwise
  • Use descriptive branch names: feature/spec-name

ASK FIRST

  • Adding dependencies — this is a CLI tool, keep it minimal
  • Changing template content outside an approved spec — templates are the core product; a spec that names the change is the approval
  • Changing skill content outside an approved spec — skills are the user-facing interface; a spec that names the change is the approval
  • Modifying the CLAUDE.md merge/improve logic — this touches user files
  • Publishing to npm
  • Merging PRs to main/master
  • Any destructive git operation (force-push, reset --hard, branch deletion)

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.
