Why use it?
They explain the project’s architecture, coding conventions, model choices, and memory commands so agents can work within its established process.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is procoders/superpowers-v's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on superpowers-v 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 superpowers-v 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

superpowers-v 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 28d 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.

What it actually says

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code

  • Architecture knowledge base (generated, citation-verified): docs/superpowers/architecture/ (architecture.md, business-logic.md, tech-context.md).
  • Repo conventions delta: CONVENTIONS.md (root).
  • Model policy: Opus by default, Sonnet for execution (the junior-task carve-out, plus the named scanning agents code-archaeologist / doc-validator, and the transport carrier that runs one clamped pipeline command per spawn), never Haiku (enforced by scripts/lint-frontmatter.py and CI). Fable is a dispatch-time override for business-critical work, never frontmatter. The advisor tool is part of the policy too: implementers and the spec-reviewer consult it at their own decision points, and the model that answers is the native advisorModel setting in .claude/settings.json — fable here, opus the alternative. It is a project setting, never agent frontmatter.
  • Recall over docs/superpowers/**: /v:remember <query>; re-index with /v:memory-refresh.
  • These docs are generated by /v:onboard; refresh with /v:onboard --refresh.
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.
