What is nora CLAUDE.md?

A repository guide for Nora, a self-hosted platform that manages and monitors AI agent runtimes using Docker and Kubernetes. It documents the main development commands, including starting services with Docker Compose and working with the database.

Use it when developing, testing, rebuilding, inspecting logs, or accessing services in the Nora codebase.

It gives coding agents the project context and commands needed to work consistently in the repository.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02994	$0.02994
Opus 5.5	$0.01198	$0.01198
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00599	$0.00599
Haiku 4.5	$0.00299	$0.00299

Security

Grade A, and why

nora 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 This Repo Is

Nora is the self-hosted AI agent ops platform — an operator-facing control plane that manages, deploys, monitors, and operates agent runtimes across Docker and Kubernetes GA deploy targets. Runtime families are OpenClaw and Hermes; NemoClaw is an experimental sandbox profile layered onto supported deploy targets. Proxmox LXC placement is experimental for OpenClaw and prepared Hermes templates; NemoClaw on Proxmox remains blocked. Node 24 LTS across all services.

Development Commands

Docker Compose (primary path)

docker compose up -d                          # Start full stack (nginx on port 8080)
docker compose up -d --build <service>        # Rebuild a single service
docker compose logs -f backend-api            # Stream logs
docker compose exec postgres psql -U nora -d nora  # Access database

The base docker-compose.yml runs dev mode (hot-reload, volume mounts). Overlays:

docker-compose.override.yml — auto-loaded; switches to Dockerfile.prod and npm start for production-like runs
docker-compose.e2e.yml — E2E test stack
docker-compose.kubernetes.yml — generic Kubernetes kubeconfig mounts for Admin-registered clusters
docker-compose.kind.yml — Kind network helper layered with docker-compose.kubernetes.yml for local K8s smoke testing

One-liner installer: ./setup.sh (macOS/Linux/WSL2) or ./setup.ps1 (Windows). Verifies Docker/OpenSSL, generates secrets, creates admin account, starts stack.

Per-service dev (without Docker)

# Backend API (listens on 4000 inside container; host-exposed on 127.0.0.1:4100 via compose)
cd backend-api && npm install && npm start

# Worker provisioner (health on 4001)
cd workers/provisioner && npm install && npm start

# Any frontend (port 3000)
cd frontend-dashboard && npm install && npm run dev
# same pattern for admin-dashboard, frontend-marketing

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.
