semiotic CLAUDE.md

semiotic CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from nteract/semiotic. It costs 129 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for working on nteract and Semiotic, including where to find chart and API guidance and which rules to follow for blog posts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Semiotic code, chart or public API behavior, generated documentation, release materials, or blog posts.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project’s conventions and tells it when to load more detailed documentation, reducing inconsistent changes and unnecessary context.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

semiotic 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.

Claude Code notes

  • The complete product reference is intentionally not loaded into every coding session. Read ai/system-prompt.md for compact chart/API guidance and only the relevant section of ai/reference.md when deeper detail is necessary.
  • For new blog posts, release summaries, chart explainers, and case studies, read and follow .agents/skills/blog-post/SKILL.md.
  • Use plan mode for broad public-API changes, cross-renderer changes, or work spanning source, schemas, generated documentation, and release surfaces.

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.
