ai-agents: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ai-agents CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from rjmurillo/ai-agents. It costs 570 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. It explains how the assistant should delegate work, store memories, and follow repository-specific rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure task delegation, memory searches, repository instructions, and rules that must be read before editing files.
Why use it?
It gives Claude Code consistent guidance about where files and tools are located and which memory method to use for each task.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is rjmurillo/ai-agents's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-agents 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 ai-agents configures →

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

ai-agents 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 3d 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

Claude Code Instructions

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code Specifics

For non-trivial tasks, delegate to specialized agents via Task tool:

  • Task(subagent_type="orchestrator") by default for non-trivial work
  • Task(subagent_type="Explore") for codebase exploration
  • Specialized agents (implementer, architect, analyst, etc.) for focused work

Installation Locations

Type Agents Skills
Global ~/.claude/agents/ ~/.claude/skills/
Per-repo .claude/agents/ .claude/skills/

ADR-064 retired .claude/commands/. Skills are the single user-invocable surface, and a blocking validator refuses a command file under any plugin root.

Path-scoped instructions

Before editing any file, read matching rules in .claude/rules/*.md; Claude Code reads that tree at runtime. Since ADR-109 B2 the edit location is templates/rules/<name>.md; uv run python build/scripts/build_all.py renders, mirrors, and binplaces it. A rule's paths frontmatter is the scope key; check_rule_scope_keys.py refuses any other. Universal rules live in universal.md.

The same run ships the Copilot copies under .github/instructions/ and src/copilot-cli/instructions/.

Skill routing

Explicit skill invocations still win: when the request names an available skill or uses that skill's slash command, invoke that skill first. Concrete requests that name no skill go through /autoplan below.

/autoplan is the canonical intent router for concrete requests that name no skill, per ADR-078. It routes to skills, lifecycle commands, and agent handoffs (for example orchestrator for multi-step work), not skills alone. Keep the routing table in .claude/skills/autoplan/SKILL.md; do not duplicate it here.

Explicit routing rules not owned by autoplan:

  • Retro trigger → invoke retrospective skill

Lifecycle skills

Dev lifecycle phases. ADR-064 retired .claude/commands/, so these are skills like every other user-invocable surface; /spec and the rest still type the same because Claude Code fires a user-invocable skill by name:

  • Define requirements, "what should we build" → spec
  • Plan work, break down tasks, estimate → plan
  • Implement, code, build features → build
  • Test, prove it works, debug failures → test
  • Review code, check my diff, architecture review → review
  • Ship, deploy, push, create PR → ship

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.
