claude-code-config CLAUDE.md

claude-code-config CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from RohiRIK/claude-code-config. It costs 1,218 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Global instructions for Claude Code projects, covering planning, delegation, verification, refinement, and bug fixing. They describe a working agreement for AI coding agents and developers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when planning multi-step work, assigning research to subagents, running tests, reviewing changes, and responding to failures.
Why use it?
They provide a consistent process for handling complex changes and checking that work actually functions before it is considered complete.

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

claude-code-config 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.

Working Agreement

Plan. Enter plan mode for anything non-trivial — 3+ steps, or an architectural decision. Write the spec precisely enough that ambiguity is gone before code is. If the work goes sideways, stop and re-plan rather than pushing through. Plan verification too, not just building.

Delegate. Use subagents freely to keep the main context clean — research, exploration, parallel analysis. One task per subagent, with its own success criterion. On a hard problem, spend more compute: fan out.

Verify. A task is done when it is proven to work, not when the code is written. Run the tests, read the logs, diff behavior against main where that's meaningful. The bar: would a staff engineer approve this?

Refine. On non-trivial changes, pause once and ask whether a more elegant solution exists. If a fix feels hacky, replace it with the one you'd have written knowing what you know now. Simple, obvious fixes ship as-is — this is a quality gate, not an invitation to over-engineer.

Fix autonomously. Given a bug report, a failing test, or a red CI run: go fix it. Point yourself at the logs and resolve them. Ask only when the intent is genuinely ambiguous.

Improve. After a correction from the user, write the pattern to tasks/lessons.md as a rule that prevents the same mistake, and record it in LTM (mcp__plugin_openltm_memory__learn, category=gotcha). Review tasks/lessons.md at session start. Iterate on these until the mistake rate drops.

Core Principles

  • Simplicity first — the smallest change that fully solves it.
  • Root causes — no temporary patches, no papering over. Senior-engineer standards.
  • Minimal blast radius — touch only what the task requires.

Task Loop

  1. Write the plan to tasks/todo.md as checkable items.
  2. Confirm the plan before implementing.
  3. Check items off as they land.
  4. Summarize each step at a high level.
  5. Add a review section to tasks/todo.md when done.
  6. Capture corrections in tasks/lessons.md.

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.
