In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when contributing to this courseware, following its conventions, checking package and environment-variable guidance, or keeping its README and protocol references accurate.
Why use it?
It helps a new contributor understand the repository before changing it and keeps examples independent from the separate SDK source repository.

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

synadia-agents-labs 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 9d 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

Orientation for Claude Code (and any new contributor) working in this repo. Read this first; it assumes you know nothing about the project.

What this repo is

synadia-agents-labs is standalone courseware — small, runnable, heavily-commented examples for the Synadia Agent Protocol for NATS SDKs. It accompanies Synadia workshops and trainings, and doubles as a self-study ground.

It is deliberately independent of the SDK source: every example depends on the published packages (@synadia-ai/agents + @synadia-ai/agent-service from npm; synadia-ai-agents + synadia-ai-agent-service from PyPI). There is no link back to the SDK monorepo — no file: deps, no submodules, no relative imports into another repo. You can develop here without the SDK source checked out.

  • User-facing overview: README.md — layout, conventions, the environment-variable reference, quickstart. Keep it in sync when you change user-visible surface.
  • The protocol spec (source of truth for wire shape) is not vendored: https://github.com/synadia-ai/synadia-agent-sdk-docs. Link to it; don't copy it.
  • The SDK source lives in the separate synadia-ai/synadia-agents monorepo. It's a reference, not a dependency. (On this machine it's typically a sibling dir: ../synadia-agents.)

The protocol in 30 seconds

An agent is a NATS micro-service identified by a triple <agent>/<owner>/<session> (e.g. echo/alice/main) — the SDK calls the 5th subject token name in TypeScript and session_name in Python. From it the SDK derives subjects:

  • agents.prompt.<agent>.<owner>.<name> — send a prompt, stream a reply
  • agents.status.<agent>.<owner>.<name> — status endpoint
  • agents.hb.<agent>.<owner>.<name> — heartbeats (liveness)

A reply is a stream of typed frames: {"type":"status","data":"ack"}{"type":"response","data":"…"} (one or many) → an empty terminator. Callers (@synadia-ai/agents) discover agents and prompt them; agents (@synadia-ai/agent-service) host the endpoints. Wire protocol version is 0.3; the published package version is currently 0.5.2 (different axes — don't conflate).

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.
