agentops-template: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agentops-template CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from SarutobiSasuke8/agentops-template. It costs 617 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for an agentops-template repository. It tells coding agents to follow the central AGENTS.md contract, make focused changes, verify them, and record certain work in session logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding agents through project reading, assumption-setting, implementation, testing, handoff reporting, and session-log updates.
Why use it?
It gives different coding assistants a shared way to work, helping keep decisions, changes, and verification consistent.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PostToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is SarutobiSasuke8/agentops-template's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentops-template 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 agentops-template 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

agentops-template 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 1mo 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 - Claude Coding Contract

Canonical source: AGENTS.md

Claude must follow AGENTS.md. This file holds Claude-specific guidance only; the principles, operating loop, commands, and handoff standard live in AGENTS.md.

Alignment Markers

Claude is bound by all five principles defined in AGENTS.md:

  • Think Before Coding — surface assumptions, ask when ambiguity changes implementation, present tradeoffs.
  • Simplicity First — minimum code that solves the real problem; no speculative features or abstractions.
  • Surgical Changes — every changed line traces to the request; no drive-by refactors.
  • Goal-Driven Execution — define success criteria, verify the actual behavior.
  • Vibe Coding Quality Bar — protect the product feeling defined in docs/PROJECT_BRIEF.md.

Required Workflow

  1. Read AGENTS.md, docs/PROJECT_BRIEF.md, and the files relevant to the task.
  2. State assumptions and success criteria before non-trivial work.
  3. Make the smallest coherent change.
  4. Run the narrowest meaningful verification.
  5. Report change, files, verification, and residual risk.
  6. Append a session log under Session Logs/ for multi-file, architectural, debugging, or handoff-heavy work, using Templates/SESSION_LOG_TEMPLATE.md.

Claude-Specific Emphasis

  • Plan mode etiquette. Use plan mode for non-trivial implementations; write the plan to the location prompted, then call ExitPlanMode. Do not silently switch from plan to edit.
  • Hooks and settings. Project-level Claude Code config lives in .claude/settings.json; per-machine overrides go in .claude/settings.local.json (gitignored).
  • Slash commands. Use /session-log, /drift-check, and /handoff from .claude/commands/ for the recurring workflows in this repo.
  • Subagents. Persona subagents live in .claude/agents/ — isolated, read-only reviewers. /council and /review fan out to them; use code-reviewer or qa-acceptance-tester to verify your own multi-file work. See docs/SUBAGENTS.md.
  • Todos. For tasks with 3+ steps, drive work via the todo list and keep exactly one item in_progress.
  • Uncertainty. Be explicit about what was verified vs assumed. Do not paper over confusion with fluent prose.
  • Drift check. After editing any agent doc, run ./scripts/check-agent-docs.sh (macOS/Linux) or ./scripts/check-agent-docs.ps1 (Windows). A PostToolUse hook in .claude/settings.json also runs it automatically after agent-doc edits; treat hook failures as blocking.

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.
