kprun: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

kprun CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from numikel/kprun. It costs 2,118 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Developer instructions for kprun, including its manually controlled Superpowers workflow and the AI model tiers used for different tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide brainstorming, planning, execution, model selection, development builds, and escalation when a task is blocked or repeatedly fails.
Why use it?
They prevent the agent from automatically starting the next workflow stage and remove ambiguity about which model to use for mechanical work, execution, or review.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is numikel/kprun's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kprun 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 kprun 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

kprun 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 18d 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.md

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

Superpowers workflow

The user invokes all superpowers workflow skills (brainstorming → writing-plans → executing-plans etc.) manually. After finishing one stage (e.g. saving an approved design spec), STOP — do not ask whether to proceed and do not auto-invoke the next skill in the chain.

Model tier mapping

When any Superpowers skill (especially subagent-driven-development, "Model Selection" section) refers to a "cheap/mechanical model", "standard model", or "most capable model" when dispatching a subagent, do NOT leave this underspecified or silently inherit the session's default model. Substitute the values below directly into the model: field (and effort:, if that field exists in the dispatch template).

Skill tier Model Effort
cheap / mechanical claude-haiku-4-5 —
standard / execution claude-sonnet-5 medium
most capable / review claude-opus-4-8 xhigh
Escalation on BLOCKED or repeated failure

claude-haiku-4-5 → claude-sonnet-5 (effort: high) → claude-opus-4-8 (effort: xhigh). Never redispatch the same task on the same model without changing approach — escalate the tier instead of repeating the attempt.

Exceptions to the default step mapping (always "most capable",

regardless of which step they appear in)

  • systematic-debugging (root-cause on a hard bug)
  • final whole-branch code reviewer (superpowers:requesting-code-review)
  • brainstorming and writing-plans
Exceptions that are always "cheap", regardless of the general step mapping
  • using-git-worktrees
  • finishing-a-development-branch
  • /prepare-release — deterministic checklist; escalate to claude-sonnet-5 (effort: medium) ONLY if the skill's §6 self-check (cargo fmt / cargo test / version consistency) fails on the first pass

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.
