What is lore-oss CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions and shared memory for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. It describes the project’s architecture, coding conventions, team decisions, task history, and context-search services.

It helps Claude Code find project context, search team memory, follow conventions, and work with delegated tasks, GitHub Issues, and the project’s context server.

It gives the assistant the background needed to make changes consistent with the organization and project. This reduces repeated explanations and decisions based only on the current files.

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	$0.03709	$0.03709
Opus 5	$0.01854	$0.01854
Sonnet 5	$0.00742	$0.00742
Haiku 4.5	$0.00371	$0.00371

Security

Grade A, and why

lore-oss 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 4d 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.

Lore

Shared context infrastructure for Claude Code. One install command gives developers full org awareness — conventions, ADRs, team patterns, PR history, and task state.

Architecture

MCP server (mcp-server/src/index.ts + routes.ts): TypeScript, serves context to Claude Code via MCP protocol. Dual transport: stdio for local (Phase 0), Streamable HTTP for GKE (Phase 1). Three core tools: assemble_context, search_context, search_memory. Pipeline delegation, local task runner, and 30+ tools total.

Vector store: PostgreSQL + pgvector via CloudNativePG on GKE. Schema-per-team isolation. HNSW indexes for vector search, GIN for BM25 keyword search. Hybrid search via Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Embeddings from Vertex AI text-embedding-005 (768 dimensions).

Cluster agents: Lore Agent service on GKE processes pipeline tasks via direct Anthropic API calls (simple tasks) or headless Claude Code (complex tasks). Developers delegate through the Lore MCP server, never directly.

Observability: OpenTelemetry traces + metrics → Cloud Monitoring. Gap signal goes to Graphiti episodes in Phase 3.

Task tracking: Pipeline tasks via Lore MCP + GitHub Issues.

Code Conventions

TypeScript for the MCP server. ESM modules, strict mode, ES2022 target. Zod for input validation on all MCP tools. Return errors as text in MCP responses, never throw.

Python for glue scripts (lore-gen-constitution). Keep them short (<100 lines). Handle missing tools gracefully with clear error messages.

Bash for install.sh, lore-doctor, infra scripts. Must be idempotent — safe to re-run. Prefix output with [lore]. Exit 0 on success, 1 on failure.

Helm charts for K8s deployments (Lore Agent, MCP server). Values files should have sane defaults. No hardcoded secrets — use K8s Secrets.

No long-lived credentials anywhere. Workload Identity on GKE, gcloud auth for local dev.

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.
