adrkit CLAUDE.md

Claude Code instructions for the adrkit repository, whose shared project guidance is stored in AGENTS.md. They explain how Claude Code loads that guidance and how to validate or install adrkit as a Claude Code plugin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when Claude Code is working in adrkit, especially before making changes, installing the local plugin, or validating its plugin manifest.
Why use it?
They prevent duplicated and drifting instructions while giving Claude Code the repository rules and the commands needed to work with its plugin.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

adrkit 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 2d 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

adrkit — Claude Code

Project memory for this repository is host-neutral and lives in one file.

@AGENTS.md

Read AGENTS.md before doing anything else. It carries the project overview, the surfaces and their current evidence-ladder status, the Bun toolchain rules, and the agent working-directory rules — including the two that have been violated in practice, about never writing to the maintainer's main checkout and never deleting a branch on commit ancestry alone.

Nothing project-specific is duplicated here on purpose. A second copy costs context on every session and drifts from the first.

Claude Code specifics

  • The @AGENTS.md line above is a Claude Code import, so the shared memory is loaded even when only this file is read.
  • This repository is also its own plugin marketplace. To work with the plugin it ships, /plugin marketplace add mbeacom/adrkit then /plugin install adrkit@adrkit. Validate local changes to it with claude plugin validate packages/adapters/agent-plugin — that validator is stricter than GitHub Copilot CLI's loader and is how the manifest's shape was settled (see ADR-0028).
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.
