Vigilis: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Vigilis CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from piyushpathakqa/Vigilis. It costs 1,621 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions that give a coding agent the product context, design principles, and architecture rules for Vigilis, a system that records signed proof of automated testing actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when implementing or maintaining Vigilis features, especially attestation, autonomous test changes, and the project’s module structure.
Why use it?
They help the agent preserve Vigilis’s focus on verifiable records while changing code, including its attestation and test-coverage requirements.

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

Vigilis 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 7d 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.

Vigilis — Product & Engineering Context

Context for an AI coding agent (Claude Code) working in this repository. Companion to AGENTS.md (which covers implementation status, milestones, and repo layout). This file covers product thesis, principles, and architecture constraints — read both.


1. What Vigilis is

Vigilis is a trust and provenance layer for autonomous testing — not "another self-healing test tool."

The thesis: an agent rewrites tests autonomously, so the only question that matters is "can I trust what it did?" Vigilis answers that with verifiable, signed proof of every tool call and model decision. Self-healing is the wedge (it earns adoption); attestation is the product (it's the defensible value).

One-line positioning: the trust layer for autonomous testing — works with the test healer you already have.


2. Core principles that must hold in the code

  1. Attestation is the product; healing is the wedge. Do not invest in healing as the differentiator — framework-native healers (e.g. Playwright agents) are commoditizing it. Invest in making every agent action verifiable.
  2. The attestation backend must be swappable. Treeship is the current implementation but must sit behind an interface (e.g. AttestationProvider). Never hard-couple to it. A local/no-op provider must exist so the system runs and tests pass without Treeship. This is non-negotiable: a customer deployment must not break if Treeship is unavailable.
  3. Never mask a real bug. This is enforced behavior, not a comment. The heal path must distinguish dom-drift (safe to heal) from genuine behavior change (must fail and surface). When triage is uncertain, fail loudly rather than heal. The triage decision and its rationale must be captured in the attestation record so it is auditable.
  4. Agent-agnostic. Where possible, sit on top of execution/healing agents and attest their actions rather than reinventing the healer. The long-term target is attesting any engineering agent, not just Vigilis's own.
  5. Clean open-core boundary. Keep the agent/healing/attestation-client core OSS-clean. The commercial layer (org policy/governance, audit reporting, dashboards, SSO, multi-tenant) is separate. The OSS core must not depend on the paid layer; the paid layer must not leak proprietary logic into the core.

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.
