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

git-steer 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 18d 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.

Git-Steer Project

Git-Steer looks after a fleet of GitHub repositories and runs only on GitHub and other services such as Cloudflare (ADR-008 C-008-001, adr/ADR-008.yaml; the move to Cloudflare is planned in stages in ROADMAP.md, starting with the clock): GitHub-native protection, self-healing repos, and a read-only fleet view. It is never run on a workstation, and nothing in it writes to more than one repo per run.

Project Structure

  • adr/ - Architecture decisions; ADR-008 is current
  • src/github/client.ts - Rate-limit-hardened GitHub API client (throttle/retry, ETag cache, concurrency caps)
  • src/state/manager.ts - Reads/writes the git-steer-state repo
  • src/fleet/ - Fleet report (ADR-009 Layer 2): collect.ts reads the fleet through the read-only reporter App, render.ts builds the dashboard issue from status.json, scan.ts renders a single-repo scan, fix.ts builds a Fix plan for one repo, fleetfix.ts for an owner or the fleet, handoff.ts writes Hand-off issues, CI first (ADR-011)
  • src/rollout/ - Rollouts (ADR-010, ADR-011): change types in changes/ (check + apply; targets are repos, orgs or pull requests), the rollout issue format, the hourly plan, check/apply/check per target
  • src/dashboard/ - Old dashboard HTML, used by scripts/ci-dashboard.mjs (retired design)
  • scripts/ - rollout-{start,plan,apply,record}.mjs (run by the rollout workflows in git-steer-fleet), fleet-report.mjs (runs src/fleet from the private git-steer-fleet repo), repo-scan.mjs (read-only scan of one repo, asked for with a "scan owner/repo" issue in git-steer-fleet), fix-plan.mjs (Fix: plan plus a merge rollout, from a "fix owner/repo", "fix " or "fix fleet" issue), handoff-{plan,open,reply}.mjs (Hand off to Copilot, from a "handoff owner/repo", "handoff ci " or "handoff ci fleet" issue), app-audit.mjs (App permissions audit; runs only from the private git-steer-fleet repo), ci-dashboard.mjs (Layer 2 building block), ci-changelog.mjs
  • .github/workflows/ - ci.yml, lockfiles.yml (Layer 1 prototype), others

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.
