plan-build-run: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

plan-build-run CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from SienkLogic/plan-build-run. It costs 2,684 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, to follow in a repository. It describes the Plan-Build-Run workflow, its rules, commands, and project structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning, implementing, checking, and verifying repository changes through the project's /pbr commands and specialized subagents.
Why use it?
It gives development work a defined process and tracks work in files, helping address quality loss as an AI assistant's conversation becomes full.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is SienkLogic/plan-build-run's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on plan-build-run 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 plan-build-run configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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

plan-build-run 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 7d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

Plan-Build-Run is a Claude Code plugin that provides a structured development workflow. It solves context rot — quality degradation as Claude's context window fills up — through disciplined subagent delegation, file-based state, and goal-backward verification. Users invoke /pbr:* slash commands (skills) that orchestrate specialized agents via Task().

Critical Rules

  • NEVER add AI co-author lines to git commits or PRs. No Co-Authored-By: Claude or similar. Only add co-author lines referencing actual human contributors.
  • NEVER inline agent definitions into skill prompts. Use subagent_type: "pbr:{name}" — Claude Code auto-loads agent definitions from agents/. Reading agent .md files wastes main context.
  • Always use PBR workflow commands (/pbr:* skills) for development work, not ad-hoc manual fixes. PBR skills enforce state tracking, verification, and artifact creation that manual edits skip. When hooks don't fire (e.g., direct file edits outside Claude Code), workflow integrity degrades silently.
  • Post-work checklist — before finishing any task or session, verify: (1) npm test passes, (2) no uncommitted changes (git status is clean), (3) file paths in artifacts are correct and files exist. This catches drift that accumulates during long sessions.

Commands

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.
