synadia-agents: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

synadia-agents CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from synadia-ai/synadia-agents. It costs 4,554 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for working in the Synadia Agent Protocol repository, which contains software development kits, agent plugins, and example applications for NATS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the repository's SDKs, agent implementations, protocol-related code, documentation, or examples.
Why use it?
It helps an agent understand the repository layout, identify authoritative documentation, and avoid confusing protocol versions with package versions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is synadia-ai/synadia-agents's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on synadia-agents 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 synadia-agents 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 A, and why

synadia-agents 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 13d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 329 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file orients Claude Code when working anywhere in this repo. For language-specific deep dives, defer to the package-level CLAUDE.md (e.g. client-sdk/python/CLAUDE.md) and to per-package READMEs.

What this repo is

The home for everything around the Synadia Agent Protocol for NATS — language SDKs that callers use, agent plugins that host the protocol, and example apps that exercise both. The root README.md covers the user-facing view: layout, subject namespace, wire shape, quickstart. Read it before making changes that touch user-visible surface.

The protocol spec is not vendored here. Canonical source: synadia-ai/synadia-agent-sdk-docs — always link to the GitHub URL when reasoning about wire shape. Local docs/protocol-mapping.md files inside each SDK translate spec → impl; they are not the spec itself.

Reference agents — canonical implementations

Every SDK in this repo ships a spec-compliant reference agent that implements the full §12 agent-checklist (service registration, prompt endpoint, status endpoint, heartbeats on agents.hb.*.*.*, terminator semantics). When reasoning about wire shape, expected on-the-wire behaviour, or testing a new SDK / agent, read these first — they are the authoritative on-the-wire counterpart to the spec doc.

  • TypeScript: agent-sdk/typescript/src/testing/reference-agent.ts — the ReferenceAgent class, importable from third-party packages via @synadia-ai/agent-service/testing (post-SDK-split — pre-split it lived under @synadia-ai/agents/testing). Runnable script: client-sdk/typescript/examples/_run-reference-agent.ts.
  • Python: agent-sdk/python/examples/_reference_agent.py — a runnable echo agent with conversation memory, used as the test harness for the numbered demos and as a wire-compat counterparty. (Moved with the host-side split into synadia-ai-agent-service; pre- split it lived under client-sdk/python/examples/.)

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.
