Dystil CLAUDE.md

Dystil CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Second-Order-Systems/Dystil. It costs 124 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Claude-specific repository instructions for Dystil, a local desktop app that finds repeated work and turns it into reusable instructions. They add rules for keeping shared agent guidance and documentation accurate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing docs, the README, or marketing copy in Dystil, and when checking claims against the code and shared AGENTS.md file.
Why use it?
They reduce conflicts between Claude's instructions and the repository's main guidance, especially when editing documentation or marketing text.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

Dystil 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code

The imported AGENTS.md above is the shared instruction set for every coding agent in this repo. Keep project instructions there, not here, so tools that read AGENTS.md stay in sync. This file is only for Claude-specific additions.

  • Before writing or editing anything in docs/, re-read the "Source of truth" section of AGENTS.md. Documents in this repo have been confidently wrong before.
  • When a task touches the README or marketing copy, verify claims against the code first and cite what you checked.
Changes

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.
