OpenAI4S: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

OpenAI4S CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 7,525 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of shared instructions for CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files, which give coding agents guidance about a project. It documents the OpenAI4S research agent, its commands, architecture, and repository conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on OpenAI4S, especially when setting it up, changing its Python or R execution environments, or following its platform-neutral project guidance.
Why use it?
It gives agents and developers one place to find project rules and understand where important parts of the code live. This reduces confusion when changing the repository.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on OpenAI4S itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything OpenAI4S configures →

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

OpenAI4S CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md

This file provides shared guidance to both Claude Code (CLAUDE.md) and Codex (AGENTS.md, symlinked to this file) when working with code in this repository.

Keep future guidance platform-neutral unless a section explicitly calls out a Claude Code- or Codex-specific workflow.

What this is

OpenAI4S is a pure-stdlib hybrid scientific research agent: provider-native JSON Tool calls form the orchestration/permission control plane, while persistent Python/R Code-as-Action kernels form the scientific execution plane. Python can call the in-kernel host singleton synchronously mid-cell; R is an independent analysis channel.

Core is zero-dependency by design. The engine, the LLM client (over urllib), and the web server (http.server + a hand-rolled WebSocket) use only the Python standard library. This is a hard constraint — see conventions below.

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.
