What is boil-the-ocean CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for boil-the-ocean, an autonomous system that runs coding agents across multiple development sprints. They describe its current release, architecture references, worker protocol, tests, and installation details.

Use them when developing, testing, or releasing boil-the-ocean. They point to the architecture and protocol documents, describe its offline test command, and record its plugin marketplace setup.

They give agents the project context and rules needed to change or release the system without disrupting its worker process or packaging.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01312	$0.01312
Opus 5	$0.00656	$0.00656

Security

Grade A, and why

boil-the-ocean CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

boil-the-ocean — project notes for Claude Code

Autonomous multi-sprint execution harness for coding agents. Read README.md for the product story; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md before touching scripts/; the worker protocol is skills/boil-ocean/SKILL.md (protocol changes require a pressure-scenario re-test — see CONTRIBUTING.md rule 4). Tests: bash tests/test-ocean.sh (offline, zero tokens).

Current state (2026-07-13)

v1.2.0 released — merged to main ff-only (tip 74941ec), tag v1.2.0 + GitHub release published, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json live on the default branch so /plugin marketplace add rajkaria/boil-the-ocean resolves (verified: default branch is main, manifest is valid JSON there, source: "./" → plugin.json v1.2.0). One-click plugin install: /plugin marketplace add rajkaria/boil-the-ocean + /plugin install boil-the-ocean@boil-the-ocean from inside Claude Code, no shell/clone; same manifest installs on Antigravity / Factory Droid / Copilot CLI. Plugin entry carries no version (inherits from plugin.json), so release checklist stays VERSION + plugin.json. 86/86 tests (4 new in v1.2.0: marketplace.json validity + name/source resolution). CONTRIBUTING release checklist expanded (ff-to-main, tag+push, gh release, marketplace smoke-verify). Docs: README Install §, docs/agents/CLAUDE-CODE.md § Plugin mode, CHANGELOG.
v1.1.0 shipped to prod (commit 418fcb5 on main, tag + GitHub release published): installation overhaul modeled on gstack (github.com/garrytan/gstack) — curl-pipe bootstrap, install.sh auto agent detection, VERSION + ocean version --check (HEAD-SHA-pinned raw fetch, offline-safe, bash-3.2 semver compare since BSD sort lacks -V), ocean upgrade (ff-only pull + replay of recorded install targets), doctor PATH/update checks. Deliberately NOT adopted from gstack: telemetry, snooze, team mode.
v1.0.0 shipped: https://github.com/rajkaria/boil-the-ocean — tag + GitHub release published, CI green on macOS + Ubuntu.
Installed on this machine: ocean / ocean-daemon at ~/.local/bin (symlinks to this clone); ocean-daemon doctor passes clean.
Born in burn-rate (branch claude/boil-ocean-skill-baa5ea), fully extracted — no references remain in that repo's files.

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.
