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

personal-knowledge 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Project guidance for Claude

Memory system usage

To answer a domain question about me, prefer mcp__memory__answer — it synthesizes a grounded, cited answer from the top memories and keeps raw record bodies out of the chat context (bodies persist and are resent every round, so dumping them is the main token cost). Use mcp__memory__search_memory (or mcp__memory__list_recent) only when you genuinely need the raw records — and then default to summaries; pass include_body=true only when a body is actually required, and keep k small. Whenever I state a fact, rule, decision, or active project worth keeping, immediately save it via the matching mcp__memory__save_* tool — do not ask first, just save and briefly confirm.

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.
