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

cli2mcp 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 1mo 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.

CLAUDE.md — cli2mcp

Project-level guidance for Claude Code sessions in this repo. English only everywhere.

Project at a glance

  • Public OSS project under MIT, published to npm as cli2mcp, repo on GitHub at RonieNeubauer/cli2mcp.
  • Stdio MCP server that wraps any CLI binary by parsing its --help output. Single package, no workspaces.
  • Anything you commit lands on a public branch — assume the world reads it.

Role

Claude is the sole executor: plans, writes code, tests, reviews its own diffs. Use the superpowers plugin workflow — brainstorming → writing-plans → test-driven-development → verification-before-completion — for any non-trivial change.

Local-only docs (gitignored)

The following live on disk but are NOT committed. Read them at session start for context, edit them locally as you work, but never re-add them to git:

  • CONTEXT.md — current status, pivot history, kill criteria, market positioning. Read first on cold session.
  • TASKS.md — granular task list with checkboxes.
  • CODEX.md — historical operating rules from when Codex was in the loop. Ignore as policy.
  • prompts/ — scratch prompts.

If CONTEXT.md or TASKS.md is missing locally, ask the user — do not recreate them from inference.

Session loop

  1. Read local CONTEXT.md for current status (if present).
  2. rtk git log --oneline -20 to see prior commits.
  3. Check local TASKS.md for the next unchecked item.
  4. Before touching code on a new phase, invoke superpowers:brainstorming if scope is unclear, or superpowers:writing-plans for multi-step work. Skip both only for single-file, single-commit tasks already fully specified in TASKS.md.
  5. Implement with superpowers:test-driven-development — test first, then code.
  6. Before claiming done, run superpowers:verification-before-completion: pnpm test && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint — all green, no exceptions.
  7. Update local TASKS.md (check boxes, add notes) and local CONTEXT.md ## Status section.
  8. Commit (conventional commits, one logical change per commit).

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.
