sublayer CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for Sublayer, a Ruby library and command-line tool for building applications that use AI providers such as OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini. They cover setup, testing, building, releasing, and the project's main building blocks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, packaging, releasing, or extending Sublayer applications and commands.
Why use it?
They give contributors the commands and design context needed to make changes without breaking the gem or its command-line interface.

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

sublayer 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 2d 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.

Project Overview

Sublayer is a Ruby gem and CLI framework for building AI-powered applications. It provides base classes for Generators, Actions, Tasks, and Agents that work with multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini).

Development Commands

# Setup
bin/setup                    # Install dependencies and configure dummy API keys
bundle install              # Install gem dependencies

# Testing
rake spec                   # Run RSpec test suite
rake                        # Default task (runs specs)

# Building and releasing
rake build                  # Build gem package
rake install               # Install gem locally
rake release               # Release to RubyGems

# CLI usage (after install)
sublayer new PROJECT_NAME --template=[CLI|GithubAction|QuickScript] --provider=[OpenAI|Claude|Gemini]
sublayer generate:generator  # Generate new Generator class
sublayer generate:agent     # Generate new Agent class
sublayer generate:action    # Generate new Action class

Architecture

The framework is built around four core concepts:

  • Generators (lib/sublayer/generators/base.rb) - Generate specific outputs based on input data
  • Actions (lib/sublayer/actions/base.rb) - Perform operations to get inputs or use generated outputs
  • Agents (lib/sublayer/agents/base.rb) - Autonomous entities with triggers and goal conditions
  • Tasks (lib/sublayer/tasks/base.rb) - Task management components

AI Provider System: The framework supports multiple AI providers through a unified interface:

  • OpenAI (default: gpt-4o) - lib/sublayer/providers/open_ai.rb
  • Claude (Anthropic) - lib/sublayer/providers/claude.rb
  • Gemini (Google, beta) - lib/sublayer/providers/gemini.rb

Provider configuration is done via:

Sublayer.configuration.ai_provider = Sublayer::Providers::Claude
Sublayer.configuration.ai_model = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620"

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.

sublayer CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sublayerapp/sublayer (205 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 759 tokens to every session, about $0.0038 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
