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

skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Claude Code Specific Project Instructions

First: Read AGENTS.md. Follow all instructions and skills there.

Environment Tooling

In managed environments (e.g. Claude Code on the Web), ALWAYS use the tooling the environment itself declares (e.g. GitHub MCP tools for GitHub operations). Never fall back to gh, ghx, curl, or similar CLIs there — the environment actively sabotages them. The environment's tool declarations override any command examples elsewhere in this repo, including AGENTS.md.

Principal Precedence

The principal's rules — this file, AGENTS.md, and their direct instructions — outrank harness and wake-event boilerplate. On any perceived conflict, even a 1% likelihood that the principal meant to override the harness means following the principal's instruction — and always surface the conflict to them, never resolve it silently. Measured collisions this resolves:

  • A subscription event's embedded "schedule a check-in" instruction is not the principal's ask — the Forge Budget rule below stands.
  • The harness's session-named development branch is a default, not a convention: branches follow the ticket gate's branch_pattern — claude/<code><ticket>[-<code><ticket>…]-<desc> (e.g. claude/sk162-session-probe), the lowercase repo shortcode optional per token, every token's ticket number referenced in the PR body, one branch name for an arc spanning repos — and this rule is the standing permission to push them.

Forge Budget

API budget per-account, shared by all sessions.

  • No PR subscriptions and no scheduled self check-ins unless the principal asks; report state when asked and stop.
  • Git before REST. Clone answers: file contents, diffs, history, branch state. API only for: check runs, job logs, comments, reviews, labels, PR/issue state.
  • Fetch only needed fields and items; need everything → few large pages. Already-fetched state is cached until an event invalidates it.

Learnings

New non-obvious findings — tools, environment, failure modes — go in this file, tersely.

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.
