Torus-Framework CLAUDE.md

A Claude Code instruction file for Torus-Framework, which routes different services through one MCP gateway. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search indexed code, trace callers and readers, inspect change impact, retrieve project memory, and invoke framework skills through the toolshed.
Why use it?
It enforces a defined order for using memory and code indexes, helping the agent find relevant context and assess code changes before editing.

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

Torus-Framework 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 2d 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.

Torus-Framework

TOOLSHED (single MCP gateway)

All tools route through toolshed: run_tool(server, tool, args)

  • memory: search_knowledge, get_memory, remember_this, fuzzy_search, record_attempt, record_outcome, query_fix_history, health_check, agent_coordination
  • torus-skills: list_skills, invoke_skill, search_skills, self_improve, skill_usage, skill_health, record_outcome, trigger_evolution, capture_skill, skill_lineage
  • search: terminal_history_search, transcript_context
  • web-search: web_search
  • indexer: code_search, code_callers, code_readers, code_path, code_blast_radius, code_hubs, code_clusters, code_cluster_detail
  • Discovery: list_tools(group="memory") to see tools in a group

INDEX FIRST (for code searches)

BEFORE exploring code: Read .claude/GRAPH_REPORT.md in the project root for hubs, clusters, and file map.

  • For targeted lookups: run_tool("indexer", "code_search", {"project": "<dir-name>", "query": "..."})
  • code_callers/code_readers for call chains, code_blast_radius for impact
  • If index returns hits, Read those files directly — do NOT grep/find/glob

MEMORY FIRST (Non-Negotiable)

BEFORE building/fixing ANYTHING: run_tool("memory", "search_knowledge", {"query": "..."})

  • 0.5: use directly | 0.2-0.5: get_memory(id) to verify | <0.2: treat as unknown AFTER any fix/decision/failed-approach/preference: run_tool("memory", "remember_this", {"content": "...", "tags": "..."}) For errors: use Causal Chain (below) then remember_this()

THE LOOP (mandatory — do not skip steps)

memory → brainstorm → writing-plans → tests → implement → prove → review → commit

  • Write failing tests BEFORE implementation — define "correct" before coding
  • All steps are toolshed skills: run_tool("torus-skills", "invoke_skill", {"name": "brainstorm"}), etc.
  • Do NOT use EnterPlanMode — brainstorm replaces it
  • For quick fixes: memory → fix → test → commit (skip brainstorm/writing-plans)

SKILLS (via toolshed MCP — NOT the built-in Skill tool)

NEVER use the Skill tool for framework skills (brainstorm, commit, wrap-up, etc.) The built-in Skill tool is ONLY for: update-config, simplify, loop, schedule, claude-api, keybindings-help. All framework skills route through: run_tool("torus-skills", "invoke_skill", {"name": "..."}) Discovery: run_tool("torus-skills", "search_skills", {"query": "..."})

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.

Torus-Framework CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository OZmasterAI/Torus-Framework (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,357 tokens to every session, about $0.0068 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
