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

context-use-old 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Repository guidance for coding agents

Agent instructions for this repository live in .agents/, shared by every coding agent that works here. There is no Claude-specific copy of any of it.

.claude/skills is a symlink to .agents/skills, because Claude Code only discovers skills under its own .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md search path. Add a new skill at .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md and it is picked up through the symlink automatically. Never create a second copy under .claude/.

Read the relevant skill before starting work it covers — notably .agents/skills/open-pr/SKILL.md before changing Git state, committing, or opening a pull request.

Changes

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.
