CLAUDE.md

cc-spex CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from rhuss/cc-spex. It costs 690 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project-specific development instructions for cc-spex, including its technologies, folder structure, coding style, and testing guidance. The project uses shell scripts, Python, Markdown, jq, yq, and the specify command-line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or reviewing the cc-spex project and its extensions, scripts, documentation, or specifications.
Why use it?
They give an agent the local rules it needs to make compatible changes. This reduces guesswork about where files belong and how the project is built and tested.

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

cc-spex 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 22d 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.

Bash (POSIX-compatible, uses jq for JSON), Markdown for commands/skills: Follow standard conventions

Extensions

  • spex: Core extension with brainstorm, ship, flow state, and methodology entry point
  • spex-gates: Quality gates on speckit commands (review-spec, review-code, review-plan, verify)
  • spex-worktrees: Git worktree isolation after speckit.specify (creates sibling worktree, restores main)
  • spex-teams: Parallel implementation via Claude Code Agent Teams (experimental)
  • spex-deep-review: Multi-agent code review with 5 specialized review agents and autonomous fix loop
  • spex-collab: Collaborative PR workflows (REVIEWERS.md, phase-split, phase-manager, revise, reconcile)
  • spex-detach: Strip spec artifacts at PR time for contributing to repos that don't use SDD

GitHub Issues

NEVER create a GitHub issue (via gh issue create or any other mechanism) without first showing the full issue content (title, labels, body) to the user for review and getting explicit approval. This applies to all repos, not just this one.

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.
