kluris: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

kluris CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex from ngvoicu/kluris. It costs 3,398 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Kluris, a tool that gives AI agents shared, human-maintained knowledge stored in Git repositories called brains. They describe the project, its architecture, knowledge-base workflow, and testing commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, or understanding Kluris, including its command-line interface, architecture, agent skills, and Git-backed knowledge storage.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context and working rules needed to change Kluris safely and use its knowledge base correctly.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Codex and Claude Code: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME, but also the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Codex.

This is ngvoicu/kluris's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on kluris 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 kluris 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 A, and why

kluris 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 8d 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 This Is

Kluris turns AI agents into team subject matter experts by giving them shared, human-curated knowledge stored in git-backed brains.

Kluris = the tool. A brain = the git repo it creates.

Knowledge base

Read and write to the ngvoicu-sme brain through kluris (never edit brain files by hand). Use the /kluris-ngvoicu-sme skill — search, learn, remember, create.

Topics relevant to this repo: kluris-cli overview, architecture, multi-brain resolver, agent skills, kluris-pack, wake-up protocol, testing, CI/CD, deprecation.

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.
