prismor: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

prismor CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from PrismorSec/prismor. It costs 692 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for working on Prismor, a security package for AI coding agents. They describe runtime protection, secret hiding, threat-feed files, and where security-sensitive code lives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing Prismor runtime policies, secret-protection code, threat-feed automation, or related documentation.
Why use it?
They help prevent accidental secret leaks, unsafe edits, and changes that bypass the repository’s security controls.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is PrismorSec/prismor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on prismor 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 prismor 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

prismor 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 11d 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.

Prismor Security — CLAUDE.md

This project is the Prismor security package for AI coding agents.

Prismor Runtime Protection

This repo has Prismor hooks enabled. The hook dispatcher at prismor/runtime/cli.py monitors tool calls and blocks dangerous actions in real time.

Agent sessions in this repo are screened by the working tree, not the installed release (dogfooding, #495). The committed .claude/settings.json, .codex/hooks.json, .cursor/hooks.json and .github/hooks/prismor.json route every hook through scripts/dev-hook.py in observe mode (scripts/dev-hook.cmd on Windows).

  • Never run prismor install-hooks --scope project (or prismor setup at project scope) inside this repo. It rewrites those files with the installed-binary form and silently stops the dogfooding. tests/test_dogfood_configs.py fails if that happens.
  • After changing an installer's events or matchers, regenerate with python tests/test_dogfood_configs.py --write.
  • Needs a python that can import yaml (python3/python, or py on Windows); point elsewhere with PRISMOR_DEV_PYTHON=/path/to/python. PRISMOR_DOGFOOD=0 turns the dogfood hooks off.
  • If the working tree stops importing, shell and web tool calls are blocked with a message saying why; prompts, reads and edits still go through, so the agent can fix it.
  • Windows: Claude Code needs Git Bash (its default hook shell); Codex and Copilot use the .cmd launcher. Codex resolves a git worktree to the main checkout, so in a worktree its dogfood hooks are not loaded.

Cloaking (secret prevention)

The prismor/runtime/cloaking/ subsystem is Prismor's prevention layer for secret leaks. Real secret values live under ~/.prismor/secrets/ and are referenced in tool calls as @@SECRET:<name>@@. When editing this subsystem, treat it as security-sensitive code and never print, log, or narrate real secret values — use the placeholder form in all examples and prose. See prismor/runtime/cloaking/README.md for the full design and AGENTS.md for editing guidelines.

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.
