OpenOrbit: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

OpenOrbit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from maneja81/OpenOrbit. It costs 6,082 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for OpenOrbit, a desktop app that runs multiple AI agents locally. They describe its Electron and React structure, technology choices, built-in agents, and main entry points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on OpenOrbit’s Electron process, preload bridge, React interface, agent orchestration, configuration, or TypeScript code.
Why use it?
They tell coding agents to inspect the existing code first and make the smallest safe change. They also explain how the app’s orchestrator and specialist agents are organized.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is maneja81/OpenOrbit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on OpenOrbit 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 OpenOrbit configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/mohitaneja/Projects/OpenOrbit.

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 C, and why

OpenOrbit CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Project Instructions

Use live code evidence before planning or editing. Make the smallest safe change. Preserve existing behavior unless the user explicitly asks to change it.

Context

OpenOrbit — a desktop app that runs a team of AI agents locally, with a central orchestrator delegating to specialist sub-agents, each with its own tools and access to the user's files, apps, and Google account.

Status: released (v0.1.0) and under active development on develop. ~290 source files across an Electron main process, a preload bridge, and a React renderer.

Four built-in sub-agents ship seeded from electron/main/ai/defaultAgents.json: Cipher (configAgent), Atlas (knowledgeAgent), Explorer (explorerAgent), Chrono (taskAgent). The orchestrator ("Orbit") is singular, not an agents row, and is configured from its own prompt file plus settings.

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.
