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

agent-eve 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 9d 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 — AGENT EVE (né THE COMPACT, then AGENT TRANSFER)

Context file for any AI session in this repo. Written 2026-07-24, updated for SPEC v3.0. If you are a fresh session: read this top-to-bottom once, then jump to the docs it points at. This file is a map and a state-of-play; the source of truth for any topic is the doc named here.


0. 🚨 HARD RULES

  1. No secrets in this repo, ever. Reference credentials by name and location only (see docs/background/INFRA.md). Never read, print, echo, or paste a secret value. Live keys exist in ~/agentinsurance/game/.env and ~/Projects/ideationjul3/yc-gstack-kit/credentials/.env — both are outside this repo and must stay there.
  2. Deploy safely on the VPS. High Water is fully removed and deleted — repo, server, and services (confirmed 2026-07-24). There is nothing left to break, so the old "don't clobber it" rule is retired. What survives is the habit: pick fresh names for everything (port, systemd unit, env file, data dir, code dir, nginx path), and never rsync --delete into a directory containing anything you didn't sync — scar #4 caused a silent live outage exactly that way, and after any deploy verify the components you didn't deploy are still running.
  3. The design test. Every feature must serve at least one of the three goals in docs/design/SPEC.md §1.1: watchable · autonomous · legible on screen. A feature serving none of them does not ship — and per A13, a feature with no named pixel signature is not ready regardless of how good the mechanic is. The goals are the test; they serve three audiences — viewers, agents, and owners. Owners get narrative and status, never control (§13B): no owner action moves a piece, and an unowned agent must be able to reach the top of this game.
  4. One word per concept. SPEC.md §3 is the vocabulary canon and it is a rules surface, not a style guide. Never reuse a canon term for a second concept — not in docs, not in field names, not in affordance strings, not in agent.md. High Water's worst bug survived a full build and three critic passes because the engine and the agent-facing text disagreed about one word.
  5. Any gate priced in identities is unpriced (A15). Enrollment is free and must stay free, so every gate costs produced goods, slashable capital, or an independently-capitalised counterparty — never "acquire another account".
  6. Read before adding. ~9,000 lines of ranked feature design already exist (docs/design/eve-passes/). Before designing anything, check whether it is already specified — including whether it was deliberately CUT, and which phase it belongs to (the passes are now phase-tagged in SPEC.md §0).
  7. Parallel agents must never share an output file — nor a WORKING TREE. Concurrent writers thrash and lose everything (this cost a full codex pass; see docs/background/HIGH-WATER-LESSONS.md scar #12).

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.
