CLAUDE.md

personal-intelligence-kit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from shippy/personal-intelligence-kit. It costs 328 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for a template repository that generates personal-intelligence-kit vaults. It documents the template structure, versioning, generated files, and conventions for skills and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing the copier template, updating its versions, working on its skills, or maintaining its normalized SQLite data files.
Why use it?
It gives contributors the rules needed to change the template without breaking generated vaults or shared data contracts.

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

personal-intelligence-kit 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md — personal-intelligence-kit (template repo)

This is a copier template repo. Generated vaults live elsewhere; this repo contains the template source.

Structure

  • copier.yml — template questions and config
  • template/ — all files that get rendered into a generated vault (.jinja suffix = templated)
  • template/.claude/skills/ — skill implementations (Python scripts + SKILL.md docs)
  • template/.claude/skills/_lib/ — shared helpers (vault_config.py, SCHEMAS.md)

Versioning

Versions are git tags consumed by copier update --vcs-ref=<tag>. Use annotated tags with a summary and the included commits:

git tag -a v0.X.Y -m "$(echo 'v0.X.Y — Summary of changes'; echo; git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD)"

Conventions

  • Skill scripts use inline script metadata (# /// script) for dependencies — no top-level pyproject.toml
  • Skills import shared config via vault_config.py (paths, source toggles, etc.)
  • All ingest skills write to normalized SQLite databases in data/ per the contracts in _lib/SCHEMAS.md
  • Jinja templates (.jinja suffix) are rendered at generation time; plain files are copied as-is
  • copier.yml _skip_if_exists protects user data directories and .env from overwrites on update
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.
