super-bootstrap: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

super-bootstrap CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from RockyHong/super-bootstrap. It costs 4,863 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for super-bootstrap, a workflow that tracks work in documentation cards and moves changes through grounding, implementation, verification, documentation, and commit steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pick up work cards, route changes, implement features or fixes, verify code and workflow-file edits, update documentation, and commit changes.
Why use it?
It gives developers a defined path from a bug or feature idea to a checked and documented change, including test-first work where tests apply.

Written for Claude Code: PreToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is RockyHong/super-bootstrap's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on super-bootstrap 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 super-bootstrap 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

super-bootstrap 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 today.

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.

Development Workflow

Work enters by picking up a card — a docs/work/ card file (/super-bootstrap:needs-me pickup or a prose ID) — or grounding a new one via /super-bootstrap:log. The card is the grounding artifact (root-cause claim for a bug, problem statement for a feature) and the unit/anchor/boundary/SSOT of the change. Fresh work and resumed work use the same door.

The envelope

ground → route → implement → verify → doc-sync → commit. Test-first and verify are structurally empty — no ceremony — on a diff with no test/runtime surface (docs-only). Verify on a harness-file change (CLAUDE.md, rules, skills, agents) = audit-harness-edits. Commit = /super-bootstrap:commit.

Ambient laws inside implement:

  • Test-first — where a test surface exists, a failing test precedes the implementation.
  • Verify before claiming — evidence before "done / fixed / passing": run the check, read the output, then claim.
  • Review received, not absorbed — check a review claim against the code before implementing it; disagree with grounds rather than complying performatively. Judgment-grade findings: review-intake first (§ Dispatch).

Cluster routing

Recognize the card's shape, then take that row's discipline; a repo that installs a process harness maps its entries onto these shapes.

# Cluster Route
1 Bug / broken behavior root cause before fix — reproduce, trace to the mechanism, then change
2 Fuzzy feature / new capability settle the design with the user before building
3 Design-intact multi-step write the step sequence down before touching code
4 Refactor ground the card; multi-step → cluster 3, atomic → envelope only
5 Config / taste / bounded tweak inline; taste that iterates or drifts → card it
6 Docs / prose envelope only
7 Harness edit load-harness-principles pre, audit-harness-edits post
8 Triage / investigation-only card → /super-bootstrap:triage {ID} (verdict phase appending a Verdict block to the card); ad-hoc question → inline reads + dispatched probes

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.
