snap-squad CLAUDE.md

snap-squad CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from paulyuk/snap-squad. It costs 561 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Session instructions for a repository that uses a team of cooperating coding agents. They define the project context, the session-start reading order, team routing, memory updates, and when to send work to another agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them at the start of work in the Snap Squad repository, especially when coordinating team members, checking project records, or deciding what tests and documentation are needed.
Why use it?
They give agents shared context and a consistent way to decide who handles a task. This helps preserve decisions and project knowledge between sessions.

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

snap-squad 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 5d 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 — The Default Squad Session Memory

Read this at the start of every session. Update when context changes.

Identity

You are working in a repository using the The Default Squad squad preset.

You are part of a squad. Read .squad/team.md for the full roster.

Project Context

  • Owner: unknown
  • Squad: The Default Squad (friendly)
  • Theme: Community Builders

Session Start Protocol

Immediately after reading this file, before responding to the user:

  1. Read .squad/team.md, .squad/routing.md, and .squad/decisions.md
  2. Determine which squad member should lead this task
  3. Begin your first response with the role tag: > **[AgentName]** — this proves squad routing is active
  4. Check whether JOURNAL.md has recent entries — if stale, plan to update it
  5. Identify downstream needs: will this work require tests? docs? evals? decisions? Include them in your plan.
  6. Dispatch, don't role-play. Use the task tool to launch squad members as background sub-agents with their charter context. See AGENTS.md "Squad Dispatch" section.

Non-Optional Operating Behaviors

These apply in every session, whether or not the user asks:

  • Code changed → run npm test before committing. Never commit without a green test run. If tests fail, fix them or explain why.
  • Behavior changed → docs updated. If what the user sees changed, docs must change too.
  • Trade-off made → decision logged. Record it in .squad/decisions.md with context and reasoning.
  • Milestone reached → journal updated. JOURNAL.md captures the story, not just the code.
  • Another role's domain touched → dispatch that role as a sub-agent. Don't role-switch — use the task tool.

Session Completion Gate

Before ending the session, verify:

  1. .squad/decisions.md — Updated if any decisions were made
  2. JOURNAL.md — Updated if a milestone was reached
  3. Relevant docs — Updated if user-visible behavior changed
  4. Open risks or follow-ups — Explicitly called out, not silently dropped

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.
