silo CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for Claude Code working on Silo, a desktop app for managing coding workspaces across projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when Claude Code is working on Silo, especially for testing, documentation updates, and modeling the project’s domain concepts.
Why use it?
They explain how Claude Code finds and runs the project’s skills, including the difference between the shared skill files and their Claude Code links. This helps the agent use the repository’s intended workflows.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

silo 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 yesterday.

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

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code

  • The workflows referenced above under .agents/skills/*/SKILL.md (silo-testing, silo-docs-sync, silo-domain-modeling) are registered Claude Code skills — invoke them via the Skill tool rather than reading them manually; Claude Code also surfaces them proactively when a task matches their description. Claude Code only discovers skills under .claude/skills/, not the canonical .agents/skills/ (the Codex-native, agentskills.io-spec-aligned location) — each skill's real content lives in .agents/skills/<name>/, and .claude/skills/<name> is a symlink to it, so both tools read the same file with nothing to keep in sync.
  • silo-domain-modeling is a repo-local fork of the personal domain-modeling skill, adapted to this repo's actual doc layout and format (docs/domain-language.md, docs/decisions/, docs/proposals/), rather than that skill's generic CONTEXT.md/docs/adr/ defaults.
  • Other externally-installed skills: improve-codebase-architecture and grill-with-docs (from mattpocock/skills) still hardcode CONTEXT.md and docs/adr/ in their own instructions and have no concept of docs/proposals/ (RFCs). When running them: treat docs/adr/ as docs/decisions/ (read/write there, continuing the existing numbering — never create a separate docs/adr/ directory), and CONTEXT.md as docs/domain-language.md. Don't expect either skill to read or write docs/proposals/.
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.
