Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is ruchernchong/claude-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-kit 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 claude-kit 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

claude-kit 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 5d 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

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

A collection of powertools for Claude Code including specialized agents, skills, and MCP server configuration. Each is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter defining its configuration, followed by detailed behavioral instructions.

  • Agents: Specialized subagents for complex tasks (code review, testing, debugging, etc.)
  • Skills: User-invocable workflows and commands (invoke with /skill-name)
  • MCP Config: Pre-configured MCP servers for extended capabilities

Commands

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Lint and format code
pnpm biome check .          # Check for issues
pnpm biome check . --write  # Fix issues automatically

# Setup and installation
pnpm bootstrap              # Interactive setup - creates symlinks in ~/.claude/ and ~/.mcp.json
pnpm install-statusline     # Interactive statusline installer - configure Claude Code statusline

# Run tests
pnpm test:docker            # Interactive test runner with Docker

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.
