Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is ssheld/agent-vault's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-vault 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 agent-vault 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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00451 $0.00451

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-vault 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.

CLAUDE.md

Purpose

This repository holds reusable scaffold files for agent-vault/.

Rules

  • Edit scaffold/agent-vault/ for defaults used in future project initialization.
  • Do not store project-specific context in this repository.
  • Generate project context only via scripts/new-project.sh.
  • When updating generated-project behavior, modify scaffold files and script templates together.

PR Authoring

  • For agent-authored pull requests in generated projects, follow scaffold/agent-vault/AGENTS.md section PR Authoring Standards.
  • Use .github/pull_request_template.md when present.

GitHub Post Attribution

  • For GitHub issues, issue comments, and non-review PR conversation comments, begin the body with:
> 🤖 **Post by {Model Name}** · via {Client Tool}
  • Use your actual model name/version when known. If the exact version is unavailable, use the best identifier you have.
  • If the post is specifically PR review feedback or a PR review-feedback response, use the review-policy format instead.
  • Never present GitHub posts as if they are the human account owner's personal opinion.
  • Prefer repo-relative paths or GitHub links over local filesystem paths in GitHub posts.

@scaffold/agent-vault/review-policy.md

Target Project Usage

In generated project vaults:

  • agent-vault/Templates/ is template source only. Instantiated notes belong in canonical runtime files under agent-vault/.
  • Start substantive work by reading agent-vault/README.md, agent-vault/context-log.md, agent-vault/plan.md, and agent-vault/coding-standards.md.
  • Skim agent-vault/open-questions.md for blockers and agent-vault/decision-log.md for active decisions relevant to the task.
  • Use agent-vault/context-log.md as canonical cross-session memory.
  • Use agent-vault/daily/, agent-vault/design-log/, agent-vault/context/handoffs/, and agent-vault/decisions/ for runtime artifacts when the workflow calls for them.
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.
