clude: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

clude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from sebbsssss/clude. It costs 2,501 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository-wide instructions for a project that includes a memory-focused npm software library, an autonomous social-media bot, web apps, a mobile app, and a server. They also define required project rules, staging practices, and agent skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working anywhere in this repository, especially the SDK, bot, React and Vite web apps, Flutter mobile app, Express server, project rules, staging workflow, or required agent memory.
Why use it?
They tell coding agents which parts of the project exist and which rules, memory system, and workflows must be followed before making changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is sebbsssss/clude's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on clude 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 clude 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

clude 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.

Clude Bot

What This Repo Is

  1. npm SDK (clude) — persistent cognitive memory for AI agents. Consumers import Cortex and call recall/store.
  2. Autonomous bot — @Cludebot on X/Twitter, running 24/7.
  3. Web apps — apps/chat/ (user-facing) and apps/dashboard/ (admin). Independent React 19 + Vite + Tailwind v4 apps.
  4. Mobile app — apps/mobile/ Flutter app with Riverpod, GoRouter, Freezed.
  5. Server — apps/server/ Express backend on Railway.

Full details: rules/01-project-overview.md. All rules live in rules/ — read the relevant rule file before working in an area.

gstack

Use the /browse skill from gstack for all web browsing. Never use mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools.

Available skills: /office-hours, /plan-ceo-review, /plan-eng-review, /plan-design-review, /design-consultation, /review, /ship, /browse, /qa, /qa-only, /design-review, /setup-browser-cookies, /retro, /investigate, /document-release, /codex, /careful, /freeze, /guard, /unfreeze, /gstack-upgrade.

Clude Memory (Required for ALL agents)

Clude is our product. Every agent MUST actively use it. The clude-memory MCP server is configured in .mcp.json.

Every heartbeat / conversation, you MUST:

  1. Store memories about your work: decisions made, findings, blockers, task outcomes, things learned. Use store_memory with source: "mcp:<your-role>" (e.g. mcp:ceo, mcp:lead-pm, mcp:researcher).
  2. Recall memories when starting work on a topic you may have context on. Use recall_memories before diving in.
  3. Minimum 1 memory per heartbeat where you do meaningful work. More is better.

Memory type guide:

  • episodic — events, task completions, meetings, incidents
  • semantic — facts, knowledge, architecture decisions, team info
  • procedural — how-to knowledge, workflows, patterns that work
  • self_model — reflections on your own performance, strengths, gaps

Always include: meaningful tags, importance (0-1), and summary. This is our product — dogfood it seriously.

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.
