cadence CLAUDE.md

cadence CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from sentasity/cadence. It costs 178 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, in the Cadence repository. It defines how configuration is read and which tests to run before changes are submitted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Claude Code works on Cadence skills, agents, configuration handling, or scripts, especially changes covered by the Node test suite.
Why use it?
It prevents code and documentation from reading configuration files incorrectly or skipping the repository's required checks.

Instructions file

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

Install

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

cadence 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 5d 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

Cadence repo conventions

Config reads go through the resolver

Skill and agent text in this repo must route every Cadence config read through scripts/resolve-config.js (invoked as node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-config.js"). Never write skill or agent text that instructs a direct read of .cadence/config.yaml, .cadence/config.local.yaml, or defaults/config.default.yaml — prose resolution is exactly the failure the resolver exists to remove. The contract (output shape, exit codes, hard-stop rule, sanctioned write paths) lives in skills/_shared/config-resolution.md.

Tests

node --test 'scripts/*.test.js' runs the script suites (migrate-config.test.js, resolve-config.test.js, notion-write.test.js). Run it before any PR that touches scripts/.

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.
