PipelineIQ: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

PipelineIQ CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from MarioEpkOne/PipelineIQ. It costs 2,282 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of Claude Code slash-command instructions for managing work from a written specification through planning, implementation, review, fixes, and merging. It also defines where pipeline files must be stored and when specifications move between folders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run specification-driven development workflows, prepare batches of work, create implementation plans, audit changes, and track pipeline artifacts.
Why use it?
It prevents pipeline stages from losing files or finding work in the wrong place, while keeping the development process consistent.

Written for Claude Code: PostToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

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

PipelineIQ 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 9d 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.

PipelineIQ — Context for Claude

What this project does

Claude Code slash commands that form a closed-loop spec → plan → implement → audit → fix → merge pipeline. Not a library or app — the deliverables are markdown prompt files in commands/ that Claude Code executes as slash commands. There is no build step, no test suite, and no runtime beyond Claude Code itself.

Invariants

  1. Artifact directories are never inside worktrees. specs/, Implementation Plans/, Working Logs/, learnings.md, and promotion-log.md exist only in the main repo root. Subagent reference files use [MASTER_REPO_PATH] to write there — if a subagent writes an artifact relative to the worktree, the pipeline's next phase won't find it.
  2. specs/ is an inbox; specs/applied/ is an archive; specs/team/ is the batch-ready staging area. A spec moves to applied/ only after impl-plan saves a plan for it (or after /spec-splitter generates children from it). pipeline-team discovers pending work by listing specs/team/ by default (or an explicit directory via argument). Moving a spec prematurely makes it invisible to the batch runner.
  3. references/ files are subagent prompt templates, not documentation. Each pipeline phase reads its reference file at runtime and fills [VARIABLES]. Renaming, moving, or reformatting a reference file breaks the phase that loads it — the pre-flight check in pipeline.md validates all 13 exist (7 reference files + 6 agent definitions) before starting.
  4. learnings.md is append-only during pipeline runs. Pipeline Phase 6 appends entries; it never deletes or rewrites existing ones. /learnings-review is the only process that modifies existing entries.
  5. [COMMANDS_PATH] is resolved dynamically at pipeline startup. No absolute user paths exist in any command file. pipeline.md and pipeline-team.md each resolve COMMANDS_PATH via installed_plugins.json registry lookup (with CWD ancestry walk fallback) before pre-flight checks, then pass it to all subagent prompts as a bracket variable.
  6. Agent definition invariant sync. If you modify invariants in this file, check whether any agent definitions in agents/ embed the same invariant and update them to match. Currently, agents embed: artifact directory rules, worktree commit hook caveat, audit->fix handoff contract, and project KB read instructions.
  7. Per-agent project KB files are read-only during pipeline runs. Pipeline subagents read .claude/pipeline-kb/<agent>.md from the target project but never modify them. Only /learnings-review writes to KB files.

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.
