mneme CLAUDE.md

mneme CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from MnemeHQ/mneme. It costs 929 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for MnemeHQ/mneme that defines branch naming, worktree checks, agent execution rules, and how work is merged into the main branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides agents before starting tasks, when creating or renaming branches, while using worktrees, and before opening or merging pull requests.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from working in the wrong checkout or branch and helps keep changes consistent with the repository's contribution process.

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

mneme 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 yesterday.

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.

Mneme Repo Instructions

Branch Naming

Use conventional prefixes: feat/, fix/, site/, ci/, docs/, refactor/. Keep slugs short, kebab-case, no random suffixes unless required for uniqueness.

Known exception — auto-generated worktree branches: Claude Code's --worktree flag emits claude/<adjective>-<noun>-<hash> branch names. This is a hard-coded harness behavior with no configuration override. These branches are acceptable during development. Before opening a PR, rename to follow the taxonomy where practical. The squash commit title on main must follow the taxonomy regardless of source branch name. See ADR-010.

Agent Execution Context Guard

Worktrees in this repo share one .git. An agent that starts work in the wrong checkout inherits that checkout's branch and commits to it. Branch selection is therefore not agent discretion: the orchestrating task declares the expected context; the agent only verifies it.

At the start of every agent task:

  • Run git rev-parse --show-toplevel and git branch --show-current.
  • Verify the repository root and branch match the task's declared worktree root and task branch.

Immediately before every git commit:

  • Repeat the same assertion.
  • Abort on any mismatch or on a detached HEAD.

The repo-owned checker automates this:

python scripts/check_worktree_context.py --expected-root <worktree-root> --expected-branch <task-branch>

It is read-only and fails closed (exit 1) with expected-vs-actual output on any mismatch. Never pass it values you did not receive from the task definition.

Provisioning and the automatic commit gate:

  • Create each task worktree with python scripts/new_task_worktree.py <branch> — it creates the branch from current origin/main and writes .mneme/task_context.json inside the worktree.
  • When run without explicit arguments, the checker reads .mneme/task_context.json; the versioned pre-commit hook (scripts/githooks/pre-commit) runs it before every commit in worktrees that have a context file.
  • One-time setup for the hook: git config core.hooksPath scripts/githooks (installs both pre-commit and pre-push).

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.
