sounio: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

sounio CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Sounio-lang/sounio. It costs 4,395 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for AI coding assistants working on the Sounio programming-language project. They define which project documents to read and how to build and run the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the repository’s guidance, loading the right project context, and using its documented build and run commands.
Why use it?
They give an assistant the project’s rules and background before it analyzes or changes Sounio code, reducing incorrect assumptions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Sounio-lang/sounio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sounio 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 sounio configures →

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

sounio 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file is the entry point for Claude Code (claude.ai/code) and other AI assistants that write Sounio code or work in the Sounio repository. It covers how to build and run the compiler, the syntax that differs from Rust, the agent tooling that ships with the repository, and the known limitations. AGENTS.md carries the same guidance for agents that read that file instead.

Section numbers are stable on purpose: other documents and CI gates cite them. Sections that described how the project itself is developed with agents are not part of this guide.

2. Project identity

Sounio — a self-hosted systems + scientific programming language for epistemic computing, uncertainty propagation, and algebraic effects. Linux x86-64 only. Not a Rust or Julia dialect; own syntax, semantics, philosophy.

Two things are simultaneously true about this repository:

  1. It is a language. A self-hosted compiler in self-hosted/, a bootstrap chain bootstrap/stage0 (C, ~103 KB) → boot4 → gen1 → gen2 → gen3 (fixed-point verification: gen2 = gen3 bit-identical).

  2. It is a scientific computing platform. First-class Knowledge[T] with GUM uncertainty propagation, Caputo fractional derivatives, autograd, PINN training, refinement types, algebraic effects (IO, Mut, Div, Panic, Alloc, Async, GPU, Prob, Observe), units, linear types.

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.
