code-conductor: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

code-conductor CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ryanmac/code-conductor. It costs 2,962 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-instruction file for Code Conductor, an AI agent coordination system. It explains the repository, documentation, development commands, and how coding agents should work with GitHub tasks and Git worktrees.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide agents through repository setup, documentation lookup, task handling, and development or testing work in Code Conductor projects.
Why use it?
It gives agents shared project context and working rules, reducing confusion when several agents contribute to the same codebase.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is ryanmac/code-conductor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on code-conductor 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 code-conductor 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

code-conductor 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.

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

Project Overview

Code Conductor is an AI agent coordination system designed to orchestrate multiple AI coding agents (like Claude Code, Conductor, Warp) working on the same codebase. It provides GitHub-native task management with automatic conflict prevention through git worktrees.

IMPORTANT: This is a template repository. When you encounter Code Conductor files in a project, they have been imported to enable automated agent coordination. Work autonomously based on GitHub Issues with the conductor:task label and the guidance in these files.

Documentation Map

CRITICAL: When starting work on any task, check if .conductor/documentation-map.yaml exists. This file contains:

  • Comprehensive project analysis and structure
  • Technology stack details and dependencies
  • List of completed vs. pending features
  • Implementation status and critical paths
  • Architectural decisions and constraints

If this file exists, load it to understand the project context before beginning work. This map is created by the [INIT] discovery task and provides essential context for all subsequent tasks.

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.
