braid CLAUDE.md

A project instruction file for Braid, a local control system for coordinating groups of coding agents. It points Claude Code to the project's shared agent guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the Braid repository so agents can find the project's common operating guidance.
Why use it?
It keeps agent instructions in one vendor-neutral file instead of duplicating them for each coding tool.

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.

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

braid 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 yesterday.

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 it actually says

CLAUDE.md

See AGENTS.md.

Braid is agent-agnostic, so the guidance for agents working in this repository lives in one vendor-neutral file rather than being duplicated per tool. This pointer exists because Claude Code looks for CLAUDE.md by name.

Changes

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.
