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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.02056	$0.02056
Opus 5	$0.01028	$0.01028
Sonnet 5	$0.00411	$0.00411
Haiku 4.5	$0.00206	$0.00206

Security

Grade A, and why

claude_code_helpers 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Repository Purpose

This repository is the source of truth for ~/.claude/ — personal Claude Code dotfiles. It provides global skills, sub-agents for multi-agent code review, a global CLAUDE.md with working style rules, language plugins for auto-formatting, and tool rules for deployment and database conventions.

Repository Structure

skills/         Global skills (review, multi-review, implement-ticket, use-railway, …)
agents/         Sub-agents for multi-agent code review (5 specialized reviewers)
languages/      Per-language Claude Code plugins (go, python) — hooks + rules
tools/          Per-tool rules files (railway, sqlalchemy) — loaded via .claude/rules/ symlinks
bin/            Utility scripts (tk plugins, etc.)
docs/           Documentation and migration guides
CLAUDE.global.md  Global CLAUDE.md — symlinked to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
install.sh      Sets up ~/.claude/ symlinks from scratch

Installation

Run ./install.sh to configure ~/.claude/:

~/.claude/CLAUDE.md → CLAUDE.global.md
~/.claude/skills/ → skills/
~/.claude/agents/ → agents/
~/.claude/rules/go.md → languages/go/rules/CLAUDE.md
~/.claude/rules/python.md → languages/python/rules/CLAUDE.md

To add language auto-formatting hooks to a project:

# Step 1 — add the marketplace once per machine:
/plugin marketplace add ~/git/claude_code/languages

# Step 2 — install in your project:
/plugin install claude-go@claude-languages
/plugin install claude-python@claude-languages

Architecture

Skills

Skills are stored in the skills/ directory, one subdirectory per skill with a SKILL.md
Invoked with /skill-name or automatically by Claude when context matches the description
Skills with disable-model-invocation: true are user-only (for side-effect workflows)
See the Claude Code skills docs for format details

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.
