Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is strale-io/strale's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on strale 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 strale 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 D, and why

strale CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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 today.

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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 845 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workflow Protocol

Times for Petter: give every time in Swedish local time (Europe/Stockholm: CET, CEST in summer), never UTC. UTC stays only in machine artifacts (logs, receipts, cron, commit metadata). Petter, 2026-10-15.

Session Start

  1. Declare session intent (one sentence: what is this session for?)
  2. Determine mode:
    • Quick: Bug fix, config change, single small component (<2 hours, no design decisions)
    • Full: New feature, design exploration, multi-component work, anything requiring decisions
  3. Escalation triggers: second feature touched, design decision emerges, >2hr estimate, contradiction detected. See .claude/PROTOCOL.md for full criteria and protocol definitions.

Review routing

Read the dated record below in full, including the backlog obligations. Explicit current founder instructions take precedence over repository copies. Historical quota notes are not evidence of current account availability, and a changed review route does not waive or close existing backlog obligations.

Dated founder routing record (preserved)

Founder override 2026-09-01:

  • Do not invoke Claude as a second opinion or reviewer for Codex-authored work. This supersedes older Strale plans, backlogs, and injected/static routing copies that require a Claude or cross-provider follow-up.
  • Use a fresh, separate Codex task for critical plan, exact-commit, and closeout verification. Pin gpt-5.6-sol at xhigh, give it a bounded read-only scope, and let the task finish after its verdict.
  • Claude Code may still be the primary environment when Petter chooses it; its critical outward transitions are reviewed by a fresh Codex task. Prior Claude verdicts remain valid historical evidence, but no new Claude-review backlog is created.

Amendment 2026-09-02 (founder, in session): Codex quota is exhausted. Until it returns, the independent review in the batch loop is performed by a fresh read-only Claude agent that did not author the batch; PRs say so, and docs/programs/cto-readiness/PROGRAM.md batch-loop step 6 carries the re-review obligation once Codex returns. The 2026-09-01 override otherwise stands.

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.
