Project instructions for a coding agent working in a repository template. They explain how to check the project state, read documentation, ask initial questions, and initialize the project.

Checking repository status, deciding which project documents are needed, guiding project setup, and following the project's MCP protocol.

They prevent the agent from changing code before it understands the project and its documentation needs.

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

project-template 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 14d 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.

@AGENTS.md

Específico de Claude Code

Las instrucciones del proyecto están en AGENTS.md, importado arriba: es el archivo que leen todos los agentes. Aquí va solo lo que aplica únicamente a Claude Code. Si una regla vale para cualquier agente, va en AGENTS.md, no aquí.

  • Las skills de .claude/skills/ se lanzan con /nombre, y Claude Code las carga por su cuenta cuando la tarea encaja con su description.
  • El /doctor nativo no es /diagnostico: revisa la instalación de Claude Code y, con /doctor prompt-audit, si las instrucciones del proyecto y las skills están desfasadas o se contradicen.
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.
