What is DevMind CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for DevMind, a local coding assistant powered by a language model running on your computer or a compatible local service.

They are for building, running, and changing DevMind, including its C# engine, terminal interface, shell runner, patching tools, memory, and model connections.

They give the agent the project’s structure, technology choices, build process, and design boundaries so it can work in the repository with the right context.

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 5.1	$0.04054	$0.04054
Opus 5.5	$0.01622	$0.01622
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00811	$0.00811
Haiku 4.5	$0.00405	$0.00405

Security

Grade A, and why

DevMind 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.

CLAUDE.md — DevMind Developer Reference

Project Overview

DevMind is a local, LLM-powered agentic coding assistant. It runs an agentic loop — read, search, patch, create, run shell/build — against a target codebase, driven by a local model (LM Studio, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). Code never leaves your machine.

Architecture: decoupled engine + swappable UI skins. The durable engine lives in C# and is UI-agnostic; the user interface is a thin, replaceable skin over it.

Product: DevMind
Brand: iOnline Consulting LLC
Runtime: .NET 10 (net10.0)
Language: C#
Default branch: master

Repository Layout

Project	Purpose
`DevMind.Core`	The engine. UI-agnostic. Contains `LlmClient`, `LoopDriver`, `AgenticExecutor`, `ShellRunner`, `PatchEngine`, `MemoryManager`, `IHistoryStore`, `LanguageServerRouter`, `TuiConfig`. Boundary interfaces: `IAgenticHost` (side effects) and `ILoopCallbacks` (UI-state hooks).
`DevMind.TUI`	Terminal.Gui v2 UI skin. Active development target. Uses `TuiAgenticHost` (implements `IAgenticHost`), slash commands (`/new`, `/think`, `/rules`, `/dir`, etc.), global config at `%APPDATA%\devmind\devmind.json`.
`DevMind.Cli`	Console UI skin. Reference implementation. Read-only `devmind.json` in working directory.
`DevMind.McpServer`	MCP server exposing the tool set. References `DevMind.Core` one-way.
`DevMind.Core.Tests`	xUnit v2 tests for the engine. Sees `internal`s via `InternalsVisibleTo`. Serial (`xunit.runner.json`).
`DevMind.Cli.Tests`	xUnit v2 tests for the CLI skin. Serial — mutates process environment variables.
`DevMind.McpServer.Tests`	xUnit v2 tests for the MCP server and the `devmind_task_*` job queue.
`DevMind.TUI.Tests`	xUnit v3 (VSTest-only) tests for the TUI skin. See the csproj comments before touching its package set.
`_archive/`	Retired projects (old VSIX, diagnostic harnesses). Do not modify.

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.
