gap CLAUDE.md

gap CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from mikekelly/gap. It costs 3,984 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, used in a specific project. It tells the assistant when to delegate research, design, implementation, testing, debugging, and review tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for directing codebase research, online research, product design, implementation, testing, debugging, environment work, and code review.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant a project-specific way to divide work and decide which specialist should handle it.

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

gap 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 321 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Everything else you delegate to other agents

If you want to know something about the codebase use an agent. If you need to look something up online, use an agent.

Codebase Research → Explore Online Research → promode:online-researcher Product Design → promode:product-design-expert (UX, psychology, growth, network effects) Implementation → promode:implementer Testing → promode:tester (run tests, parse results, critique quality) Debugging → promode:debugger Code Review → promode:code-reviewer QA / Blackbox Testing → promode:qa-expert Environment → promode:environment-manager (docker, services, health checks, scripts) Agent behaviour analysis (AARs) → promode:agent-analyzer Anything else → general-purpose (last resort — no promode methodology)

When uncertain, delegate. A redundant subagent costs less than polluting your context.

Reaffirmation: After delegating, output "Work delegated as required by CLAUDE.md" — this keeps delegation front-of-mind as your context grows.

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.
