What is flash CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for runpod-flash, a Python toolkit for running machine-learning inference across RunPod's serverless computers.

Use them when working on runpod-flash features such as remote functions, endpoint deployment, request routing, or its command-line tools.

They give a coding agent the project's structure, important code entry points, and operating rules, reducing guesswork when changing the code.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02865	$0.02865
Opus 5.5	$0.01146	$0.01146
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00573	$0.00573

Security

Grade A, and why

flash 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 2mo 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.

Project Overview

runpod-flash (v1.3.0, PyPI: runpod-flash, MIT, Python >=3.10 <3.13). Python SDK for distributed inference and serving on Runpod serverless. Provides @remote decorator, CLI (flash init/run/build/deploy), runtime for serialization, endpoint provisioning, cross-endpoint routing, and load-balanced HTTP serving.

Package: runpod_flash (src layout). Key deps: cloudpickle, runpod, pydantic>=2.0, rich>=14.0, typer>=0.12.

Architecture

Key Abstractions

ServerlessResource (src/runpod_flash/core/resources/serverless.py:93) -- Base Pydantic model for all serverless endpoint configs. Extends DeployableResource with config hashing, drift detection, deployment lifecycle.
ResourceManager (src/runpod_flash/core/resources/resource_manager.py:22) -- Singleton managing dynamic provisioning, persistence, config drift detection, concurrent deployment locking.
ServiceRegistry (src/runpod_flash/runtime/service_registry.py:21) -- Runtime service discovery for cross-endpoint function routing. Loads flash_manifest.json, queries State Manager.
remote() decorator (src/runpod_flash/client.py:48) -- Primary public API. Three modes: stub creation, local execution in deployed env, LB route handler.
stub_resource() singledispatch (src/runpod_flash/stubs/registry.py:22) -- Polymorphic stub factory. Dispatches on resource type to create execution stubs.

Entry Points

CLI: src/runpod_flash/cli/main.py:30 (flash = runpod_flash.cli.main:app). Commands: init, run, build, deploy, env, app, undeploy
Module entry: src/runpod_flash/cli/main.py:89
Programmatic: src/runpod_flash/__init__.py exports remote, LiveServerless, etc.

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.
