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

awesome-agent-evolution 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

Claude/Claude Code 在本仓库工作时,以 AGENTS.md 为最高操作手册。本文件只补充 Claude 侧协作规则。

Priority

  1. 公开文案质量是最高指导:网页、README、README-EN、论文页、topic/blog/SEO 入口和 metadata 必须有逻辑、可读、可吸收、双语同证据链,并通过读者/编辑 agents 与学术 agents 双通道审查。
  2. 再以当前对话里的用户直接输入为准;本地私有用户输入记忆只能辅助判断,禁止提交或发布。
  3. 再读 README.mdCONTENT_INDEX.mddocs/project-management/project-structure.md
  4. 改动后刷新 docs/indexes/master-index.md

User Input Privacy

用户输入原文、抽取文件和长期用户记忆只保留本地,不进入公开仓库。公开手册只保留操作原则:目标来源以当前用户输入为准,raw/processed/work/results 分层治理,长期产物必须索引化,论文和网站改动必须验证。

非四层构成材料不要直接删除;先按 docs/project-management/noncanonical-cleanup-policy.md 归类,并刷新 docs/indexes/noncanonical-index.md

Claude Working Style

  • 用分层表达输出判断:1 句话、3 句话、5 句话、完整论证。
  • 对论文和项目分析,优先补”数据从哪来、分析了哪些、进化相关有哪些、时间顺序如何”。
  • 对 GitHub 项目排名,禁止把累计 Star 当作主要价值信号;优先查 analysis/github-star-growth-ranking.mddata-engine/github-star-history/ 和覆盖状态,用 2026 新增 Star / recent velocity 判断当前阶段动量。
  • 对网站内容,优先保证 SEO title/description、静态可构建、public reports 可访问。
  • 对项目卡,使用 model-card 类结构:任务、方法、证据、局限、适用场景、教学价值。
  • 图表优先:当图表比文字更容易表达时,必须使用 Mermaid DAG、SVG 或数据可视化,不要只写文字。
  • Mom Test:README 和面向用户的内容必须让非专业人士能理解项目做什么、为什么重要。
  • Public copy review gate:所有公开文案,尤其网站、README、README-EN、SEO/topic/blog 页面和 metadata,发布前必须经过 3-5 个读者/编辑 agents 与 3 个学术 agents 审查。读者/编辑看可读性、Mom Test、行动路径、中英入口;学术 agents 看术语、证据链、claim 强度、限制和 [UNVERIFIED]。无法调度时必须在交付中写明风险,不能标记为质量已完成。
  • 证据链:每个分析结论标注数据来源。无法追溯的标注 [UNVERIFIED]
  • 中文调查同步survey/ 是中文版调查,与 paper-drafts/ 平行。修改一方时检查另一方是否需要同步。
  • 读者/Agent 边界:README、网站首页、论文页、SEO 页面是给外部读者/消费者看的;不要把 agent 启动检查、内部构建命令、wiki ingest 流程、handoff 或自我系统说明塞进 README 主体。Agent 操作规则写在 AGENTS.mdCLAUDE.mdCLOUD.mddocs/ops/
  • Workflow 分流:具体执行见 docs/ops/audience-boundary-workflow.md。公开页面只写读者问题、证据、结论和下一步阅读;内部 workflow、验证门禁、handoff 和自我镜像规则留在 ops/wiki/agent 手册。

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.
