CLAUDE.md

autopilot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from martin-janci/autopilot. It costs 2,053 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for BMAD Autopilot, a Bash-based tool that coordinates a software project from choosing work through merging a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to install or configure the orchestrator, understand its project-local commands, and find its architecture or troubleshooting documentation.
Why use it?
They explain that the tool is installed into other projects, what files it adds, and how its workflow is organized.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is martin-janci/autopilot's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on autopilot 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 autopilot 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

autopilot 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 8d 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.

CLAUDE.md - BMAD Autopilot

Project Overview

BMAD Autopilot is an installable autonomous development orchestrator for Claude Code. It's a bash-based state machine that automates the entire development cycle from epic selection through PR merge.

This is NOT a standalone project - it's a toolkit that gets installed INTO other projects via install.sh.

What Gets Installed

When a user runs ./install.sh /path/to/target:

  1. Main script{target}/.autopilot/bmad-autopilot.sh
  2. Config example{target}/.autopilot/config.example
  3. Claude commands (optional) → {target}/.claude/commands/*.md (project-local, not global)
  4. gitignore entry.autopilot/ added to target's .gitignore

State Machine

The autopilot operates as a finite state machine with phases:

Sequential Mode (default)

CHECK_PENDING_PR → FIND_EPIC → CREATE_BRANCH → DEVELOP_STORIES →
CODE_REVIEW → CREATE_PR → WAIT_COPILOT → WAIT_CHECKS → MERGE_PR → (loop)

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.
