jig: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

jig CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ramboz/jig. It costs 3,916 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Jig, an AI-focused development scaffold. They describe its project terms, active work, branch rules, status board, and where fuller definitions are stored.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the Jig repository, especially for choosing the active branch, checking shipped specifications, understanding project terms, and locating its roadmap, glossary, or memory-sync process.
Why use it?
They help an agent avoid outdated branches and check the project’s current status before changing code. They also provide a compact reference while keeping detailed explanations in separate documents.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is ramboz/jig's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on jig 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 jig configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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

jig 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 23d 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.

jig — AI-Native Dev Scaffold

The Claude Code skill pack that scaffolds AI-native development practices. We dogfood the workflow we build.

Hot Cache

Always-loaded primer, kept lean per spec 055/057 (orchestrator context × turns is the cost). This is an index: each bold term is a one-line claim + link; full definitions live in docs/memory/glossary.md + the lexicon and expand on demand via /jig:explain <term>. Update via /jig:memory-sync.

Project codenames / active work

  • jig = this skill pack repo (the plugin itself).
  • Branch routing — main is the sole active line: 1.x and the 2.0 multi-host work both shipped here (latest tag v2.13.0). The legacy v2 branch is closed — don't route work to it. See docs/roadmap.md.
  • Active specs: work has shipped through spec 113, plus 116 — the status board is the live source, always check it before picking up work. A few parked drafts remain (034 federation-tier, 062 refactor-workflow, 090 immutable-release-bytes, 105 durable-failure-quarantine); 083 lightweight-decision-records is IN_PROGRESS (083-08 Codex host-validation handoff open). Recent load-bearing closures are indexed under Key terms (leanness lens 109, first-class blockers 111, adversarial-register quarantine 110, ref-aware lifecycle + claim reservation 112, tri-host Copilot 113 — GitHub Copilot CLI is jig's 3rd committed host, plugin-only, full package parity; residuals in refinement-todo). Bug-fix repository closure — ADR-0037 (Accepted) / spec 091 — two marker-keyed closure gates on the bug lifecycle; JIG_BUG_CLOSURE_GATE=0. Per-slice invariants live in the status-board Notes column. Long-horizon-autonomy bridge (oh-my-cli follow-on): spec 106 — autonomy governance plane & identity separation (ADR-0051, Accepted) is built (see the Governance-plane term below); spec 105 — durable failure-quarantine jig-half (ADR-0050, Proposed) is still recorded, not built. servo halves live in ramboz/servo (servo specs 023/024/025, ADR-0029/0030) — not yet built. See docs/specs/README.md. Deferred → docs/refinement-todo.md.

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.
