rosclaw CLAUDE.md

rosclaw CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ros-claw/rosclaw. It costs 1,756 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project onboarding instructions for ROSClaw, a runtime for connecting AI software with physical robots. The file defines the robot setup, communication boundary, safety levels, and available robot-related tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard Claude Code to a ROSClaw project, configure its runtime boundary, understand the robot integration setup, and follow the project’s safety contract.
Why use it?
It gives Claude Code the project context and safety rules needed before interacting with robot capabilities, including which actions are read-only, simulated, validated, or guarded.

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

rosclaw 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 6d 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 — ROSClaw Project Onboarding

This file tells Claude Code how to work with the ROSClaw physical-AI runtime. It is safe to edit the human sections below. Managed blocks are updated by rosclaw agent init claude-code and should not be hand-edited.

ROSClaw Runtime Boundary (managed)

  • Project: rosclaw-v1.0
  • Project root: .
  • Default robot: (none detected)
  • MCP transport: stdio
  • Pinned ROSClaw CLI: .venv/bin/python -m rosclaw.entrypoint

This project exposes a P0 ROSClaw MCP server. Connect via the configured stdio transport defined in .mcp.json.

Claude Code must approve the project-scoped rosclaw server from .mcp.json before it can use these tools. Approval is owned by Claude Code and is not bypassed by the ROSClaw installer.

Safety contract (P0)

Read-only, body-context, simulation, guarded-action, and emergency tools:

Tool Safety level Purpose
get_robot_state S0 Current body state and readiness
list_skills S0 Skills available to the runtime
query_memory S0 Retrieve similar past experiences
validate_trajectory S2 Plan validation, never real motion
sandbox_run S1 MuJoCo simulation preview only
practice_query S0 Query practice episodes
emergency_stop S4 Request daemon E-Stop; verify physical-stop evidence
get_body_profile S0 Static effective body profile
get_body_state S0 Body safety state and capability matrix
list_body_capabilities S0 Capabilities grouped by status
query_body S0 Answer questions about the current body
validate_body_action S0 Validate proposed body-level action
get_calibration_status S0 Calibration status for body components
get_runtime_status S0 rosclawd health and privilege-boundary status
request_action S3 Submit a guarded SHADOW or REAL action to rosclawd
get_action_status S0 Read daemon queue state and terminal receipt
cancel_action S3 Cancel queued work; active motion requires E-Stop
get_product_status S0 Canonical release and evidence boundary
list_product_demos S0 Official evidence-bearing simulation demos
run_product_demo S1 Run an official simulation and persist its receipt
get_execution_receipt S0 Read and integrity-check a receipt
explain_execution S0 Explain policy, execution, observation, and evidence

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.
