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

pixir 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

Pixir Harness - legacy agent guide

AGENTS.md is the canonical instruction file for coding agents in this repo. Start there, then read CONTEXT.md for vocabulary and the relevant ADR in docs/adr/.

This file remains only as a compatibility pointer for harnesses that still look for CLAUDE.md.

Current map

  • Runtime spine: Session -> Turn -> Provider -> Tools.
  • Source of truth: append-only local Log under .pixir/sessions/.
  • Presenters: terminal CLI and ACP over stdio.
  • Provider path: OpenAI Responses, store: false, provider usage as durable evidence, WebSocket-preferred transport with HTTP/SSE fallback.
  • Growth surfaces: Skills, Subagents, Workflows, Session Resources/Image Attachments, Provider-hosted Web Search, and future Skill Context Hydration.

Commands

mix deps.get

mix test
mix format --check-formatted
mix compile --warnings-as-errors

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.
