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

noru 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 2mo 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

Noru

Autonomous orchestrator for Claude Code. Runs a structured task queue 24/7.

Stack

  • Python 3.11+, SQLite (WAL mode), FastAPI, Click CLI
  • Single HTML dashboard (Alpine.js + Chart.js)

Layout

  • src/noru/core/ — Models, database, config, constants (zero external deps)
  • src/noru/engine/ — Token monitor, weekly tracker, queue, coexistence, scheduler
  • src/noru/executor/ — WorkerBackend protocol, Claude CLI backend, dispatcher, idle reviewer, parallel agents, scanner
  • src/noru/interface/ — Orchestrator loop, CLI, FastAPI server, dashboard UI
  • src/noru/integrations/ — Optional: superpowers, agency-agent, ccusage

Commands

  • pytest — run all tests
  • pip install -e ".[dev]" — install in dev mode
  • noru — CLI entry point

Conventions

  • Frozen dataclasses for models (no mutable state)
  • All DB queries as named methods in core/database.py
  • WorkerBackend protocol for CLI abstraction
  • TDD: write test first, then implement
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.
