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

sudocode 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 10d 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 it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Read CONTRIBUTING.md — that is the canonical guide for working in this repository. Human contributors and AI agents follow the same rules.

The previous content of this file (working agreement, parity standing rule, verification commands, ShareOne publishing recipe, documentation map) has been migrated into CONTRIBUTING.md so the rules apply to every contributor by default, not just to Claude. This file remains as a thin pointer because Claude Code reads it on startup by convention; the pointer ensures the agent finds the canonical doc.

Landing a PR

main lands through a merge queue. Land with gh pr merge <n> --merge --auto; direct and --admin merges are refused by design. Don't update a branch just to catch up with main. Open PRs as drafts while iterating and mark them ready once: heavy CI runs only on ready PRs and in the queue. If landing looks blocked, never delete, disable or edit the merge-queue ruleset or the branch protection: they guarantee every commit on main passed CI. Tell the user instead. Details: Pull request guidelines.

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.
