orc: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

orc CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from qGolem/orc. It costs 1,397 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for orc, a Claude Code plugin made of skills, agents, and hook scripts rather than a conventional TypeScript application. It explains where these parts live and how the project runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on plugin skills, agent definitions, Bun-based hooks, generated code maps, and code-structure or dependency analysis across supported programming languages.
Why use it?
It helps the coding agent navigate the repository and use the expected runtime and analysis commands. It also provides different dependency and call-tracing approaches for TypeScript or JavaScript, Rust, and Solidity projects.

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 qGolem/orc's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on orc 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 orc 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

orc 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.

orc — Claude Code Plugin

Project Structure

This is a skills/agents plugin repo, not a conventional TypeScript project.

Location Contents
skills/ Plugin skills (namespaced orc:)
.claude/skills/ Local skills (no namespace)
.claude/agents/ Agent definitions
.claude/hooks/ Hook scripts (TypeScript, runs via Bun)
.claude/context/ Generated codebase maps

No src/ directory. Use tree -L 3 -P '*.md' skills/ or tree -L 2 .claude/ for structure.

Agents target multiple languages. When developing or testing agents, use the appropriate analysis tools:

Purpose TS/JS Rust Solidity
Dependencies madge --circular src/ cargo modules dependencies --acyclic slither . --print inheritance-graph
Call chains /dive symbol depth Grep-based tracing slither . --print call-graph
Structure file analysis cargo modules structure --lib slither . --print contract-summary
Dep tree madge --orphans src/ cargo tree --depth 2 forge inspect <C> storageLayout

Runtime

Bun is the runtime. Use bun run, not npm run or pnpm run.

Hooks

Wiring

Hook registration requires BOTH:

  1. A script file under .claude/hooks/ (e.g., index.ts)
  2. An entry in .claude/settings.json under "hooks"

Always check both when debugging "hook didn't trigger."

Testing

Test hooks directly before claiming they work or don't:

echo '{"session_id":"test","transcript_path":"/tmp/t"}' | bun .claude/hooks/index.ts

Safety

  • .claude/hooks/index.ts is live — changes take immediate effect on the current session
  • Read the full file before editing; never infer content from memory or truncated reads
  • Do not modify hook behavior without explicit request; hook logic is intentionally experimental

Deadlock

When a stop hook blocks and no user action resolves it within 2 turns:

  1. State the situation once with the exact user action required
  2. Stop repeating — no further substantive responses on that topic until user acts
  3. Never offer to commit as an escape hatch from a blocked state

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.
