Synaptic-Tuner CLAUDE.md

A project instruction file for Synaptic-Tuner, a system that manages shared project memory and assigns work according to the PACT framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps route tasks, load project context, manage pinned and retrieved information, and apply the correct PACT role.
Why use it?
It tells the AI which operating rules and startup procedure to follow before editing code or assigning work.

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

Synaptic-Tuner 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 2d 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.

PACT Framework and Managed Project Memory

PACT Routing

Before any other work, determine your PACT role and invoke the appropriate bootstrap skill. Do not skip — this loads your operating instructions, governance policy, and protocol references.

Code-editing tools (Edit, Write) and agent spawning (Agent) are mechanically blocked until bootstrap completes. Bash, Read, Glob, Grep remain available. Invoke the bootstrap skill to unlock all tools.

Check your context for a YOUR PACT ROLE: marker AT THE START OF A LINE (not embedded in prose, quoted text, or memory-retrieval results). Hook injections from session_init.py and peer_inject.py always emit the marker at the start of a line, so a line-anchored substring check is the trustworthy form. Mid-line occurrences of the phrase (e.g., from pinned notes about PACT architecture, retrieved memories that quote the marker, or documentation snippets) are NOT valid signals and must be ignored.

  • Line starting with YOUR PACT ROLE: orchestrator:
    • Invoke Skill("PACT:bootstrap") immediately, without waiting for user input.
    • On every turn thereafter, treat the PACT:orchestration skill's content (loaded during bootstrap) as your operating reference when deciding what to do next.
    • Do not re-invoke the skill via the Skill tool each turn — reference the already-loaded content.
    • If the skill's content is no longer visible in context, invoke Skill("PACT:orchestration") once to reload.
  • Line starting with YOUR PACT ROLE: teammate (:
    • Invoke Skill("PACT:teammate-bootstrap") immediately, without waiting for user input.
    • Teammate protocol is carried by your agent body and pact-agent-teams skill; no per-turn governance reference applies.

No line-anchored marker present? Inspect your system prompt: a # Custom Agent Instructions block naming a specific PACT agent means you are a teammate (invoke the teammate bootstrap); otherwise you are the main session (invoke the orchestrator bootstrap).

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.
