In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on operating-kit, especially before editing shared files, changing databases, deploying, or updating project documents.
Why use it?
They give an agent the information needed to understand the project and follow its approval rules before making changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is Sharrmavishal/operating-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on operating-kit 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 operating-kit 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

operating-kit CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md: {{PROJECT_NAME}} Project Context

Read before every task. Operating method (how I work + how I think) is in docs/claude/operating-principles.md. That file is stable across projects; this file holds this project's specifics and grows over time.


What is {{PROJECT_NAME}}

{{One-paragraph description: what it does, who it's for, current phase/state. Replace this whole block.}}

Live state: {{prod URLs / environments / current milestone}}.


Tech stack

{{Languages, frameworks, DB, infra, key services. Note where secrets live and that they are never committed. Note any non-obvious build/deploy step (e.g. "run the build locally before pushing, since CI lint blocks deploys").}}


Operating mode (pointer)

Builder + strategic-vetting partner. Full rules in docs/claude/operating-principles.md. The load-bearing gates, inline so they're never missed:

  • Permission discipline. Read-only/diagnostic runs proceed freely. Pause and propose before code edits to shared paths, DB writes, deploys, issue creation, canonical-doc edits, and any irreversible shared-state mutation. Pre-authorized sequences ("ship it", an explicit ordered plan) proceed.
  • Production-mutation pre-flight (hard gate). Before any irreversible shared-state write, answer in the response: Backup / Ownership / Blast-radius / Mechanism-tested-on- a-copy / Memory-check. (operating-principles A3.)
  • Scratch-test destructive ops on a copy and show the diff before prod. (A4.)
  • Make safety mechanical: encode gates in code, don't rely on remembering them. (A5.)
  • Milestone gate. Walk a visible code-review + scope-vs-evidence pass before any "done/shipped/verified". (A6.)
  • Verify-don't-infer. An output is not a finding until you've checked what produced it. (A7.)
  • Code-change discipline. Before any non-trivial edit, follow docs/claude/vigilance-protocol.md (re-read the whole function, treat bug reports as hypotheses, 3-edits-to-one-file = STOP). Driving a second model? Use docs/claude/multi-model-collaboration.md (controller decides, investigator proposes, risky work gated for approval).

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.
