CLAUDE.md

Synaptic-Tuner CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ProfSynapse/Synaptic-Tuner. It costs 580 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

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.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is ProfSynapse/Synaptic-Tuner's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Synaptic-Tuner 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 Synaptic-Tuner 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

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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Synaptic Tuner

Synthetic dataset generation and LLM fine-tuning engine. Teacher models generate training data, which is used for SFT/KTO fine-tuning of smaller models. The engine is consumed as a git submodule by host projects; hosts own configuration, credentials, and mutable state.

How to work here

  • AGENTS.md carries the standing engineering discipline (fine-tuning workflow, config-first generation, HF Jobs, Modal). Read it before changing those areas.
  • .skills/ is the canonical skill source; .agents/skills and .claude/skills are generated mirrors. After editing a skill run python3 .skills/scripts/sync_skill_trees.py, then --check.
  • Load the relevant skill before starting: fine-tuning for training, cloud jobs, evaluation runs, experiments and dataset publishing; synethetic-data-generation for synthetic data; evaluation for the eval system; upload-deployment for model upload; research-reporting for research notes.
  • Prefer existing CLIs, checked-in scripts and skills over ad hoc scripts or manual API probing. If a capability is missing, add it as a checked-in workflow and update the skill rather than leaving a one-off.
  • Docs entry points: docs/common-tasks.md (how to run things), docs/troubleshooting.md (errors and recovery), docs/project-reference.md (scripts, configs, env vars, data formats).
  • Discover resources with the CLI rather than from memory: ./run.sh status, ./run.sh doctor, ./run.sh list <resource> (python tuner.py directly, or .\run.ps1 on Windows).

Rules

  • Never write outputs to /tmp. Generated files stay in the repository (docs/, Datasets/, scratch/); test outputs go under scratch/.
  • Stop early on errors. Watch output and kill a run as soon as it looks wrong.
  • No hardcoding of scenario-specific behavior in SynthChat. Tool-call formats, workspace structures and label mappings come from config under SynthChat/config/. The bundled useTools wrapper is a toy example, not the canonical format.
  • No backward-compatibility shims. Move code and update imports directly; no re-exports, dual signatures or deprecated wrappers.
  • Secrets are referenced by name only and resolved at execution time. Never put credential values in code, configs, logs, argv or commit messages.
  • Do not record session state, progress or status in this file. It holds only durable working rules; everything time-bound belongs in docs/.

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.
