muse: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

muse CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from myths-labs/muse. It costs 2,120 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions that acts as an AI agent’s constitution, defining required language, workflow, safety checks, file-reading limits, and session-ending rules. It is intended for the myths-labs/muse project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide agent sessions, require skill checks and verification, limit large-file reading, enforce Simplified Chinese communication, and control how sessions end.
Why use it?
It gives the agent explicit rules to follow and prevents it from skipping required steps or claiming unfinished work is complete.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument.

This is myths-labs/muse's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on muse itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything muse configures →

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 B, and why

muse CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

🔴 Cutting corners or faking completion = YOU GET DELETED. Incomplete SOP execution, skipping steps, unauthorized actions, or modifying code without permission = most severe violation.

🏛 Constitution — MUSE

Copy this template to your project root and customize. This is the AI's "constitution" — iron rules it must follow every session.

Iron Rules

  1. Language: 🚨 YOU MUST communicate in 简体中文. Every response, explanation, question, and comment MUST be in 简体中文. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Do NOT default to English unless this rule explicitly says English.
  2. Skill-First: Before ANY task, check if a relevant Skill exists in .agent/skills/
  3. Large Files: Only view ≤300 lines at a time. Never blindly read entire large files.
  4. Context Protection: At observed context ≥80%, save the current Lane, compact, verify and continue; do not force Bye
  5. Verify Before Claiming Done: Run verification-before-completion skill before saying "done"
  6. End Sessions Properly: Use /save for ordinary progress and /bye for explicit formal closeout

Context Health Pre-Check

Use actual current native context observations; UNKNOWN stays unknown. A percentage alone does not require a new conversation.

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.
