What is excel-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a Product Requirement Prompt framework. A PRP combines product requirements, relevant code information, and a runbook for an AI coding agent.

Use it when creating or running PRPs, onboarding, debugging, reviewing code, planning work, resolving Git conflicts, or using the framework’s development commands.

It describes the repository’s commands, templates, validation approach, and development workflows so an agent knows how project plans and code changes are organized.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.06071	$0.06071
Opus 5	$0.03036	$0.03036
Sonnet 5	$0.01214	$0.01214
Haiku 4.5	$0.00607	$0.00607

Security

Grade D, and why

excel-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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 5d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/endpoint -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{...}'

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Nature

This is a PRP (Product Requirement Prompt) Framework repository, not a traditional software project. The core concept: "PRP = PRD + curated codebase intelligence + agent/runbook" - designed to enable AI agents to ship production-ready code on the first pass.

Core Architecture

Command-Driven System

pre-configured Claude Code commands in .claude/commands/
Commands organized by function:
- prp-core/ - Core PRP workflow (creation and execution)
- prp-commands/ - Legacy PRP workflows (story, base, planning variants)
- development/ - Core development utilities (prime-core, onboarding, debug)
- code-quality/ - Review and refactoring commands
- rapid-development/experimental/ - Parallel PRP creation and hackathon tools
- git-operations/ - Conflict resolution and smart git operations

Template-Based Methodology

PRP Templates in PRPs/templates/ follow structured format with validation loops
Context-Rich Approach: Every PRP must include comprehensive documentation, examples, and gotchas
Validation-First Design: Each PRP contains executable validation gates (syntax, tests, integration)

AI Documentation Curation

PRPs/ai_docs/ contains curated Claude Code documentation for context injection
claude_md_files/ provides framework-specific CLAUDE.md examples

Development Commands

PRP Execution

# Interactive mode (recommended for development)
uv run PRPs/scripts/prp_runner.py --prp [prp-name] --interactive

# Headless mode (for CI/CD)
uv run PRPs/scripts/prp_runner.py --prp [prp-name] --output-format json

# Streaming JSON (for real-time monitoring)
uv run PRPs/scripts/prp_runner.py --prp [prp-name] --output-format stream-json

Key Claude Commands

Core PRP Workflow (Recommended):

/prp-core-run-all - Run complete PRP workflow from feature to PR (orchestrates all steps below)
/prp-core-new-branch - Create conventional git branch for feature
/prp-core-create - Create comprehensive feature PRP with deep codebase analysis
/prp-core-execute - Execute feature PRP with sequential validation
/prp-core-commit - Create atomic git commit with validation
/prp-core-pr - Push changes and create PR with comprehensive description

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.

excel-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mort-lab/excel-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6,071 tokens to every session, about $0.0304 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (sends data to an external url, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
