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

awesome-claude-code-tips 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 2mo 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

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a documentation repository called "awesome-claude-code-tips" containing comprehensive guidance for effective Claude Code usage. The repository contains:

  • README.md - Complete guide to Claude Code tips, session management, and workflows
  • example-workflow.md - Detailed end-to-end example of git/GitHub workflows with Claude Code
  • CLAUDE.md - Project-specific guidance for this repository

Repository Purpose

This repository serves as a knowledge base and reference for developers using Claude Code. It's not a code project but rather a collection of best practices, workflows, and tips for effective AI-assisted development.

Git Workflow

Before implementing new features or functionality, create a new feature branch following the global instructions in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.

Project Structure

The repository structure will need to be established based on the chosen technology stack and project requirements.

Claude Code Session Management

Context Persistence:

  • CLAUDE.md is automatically read at session start
  • Project files persist between sessions
  • Conversation history is cleared when session ends
  • Each session starts fresh with file-based context

Updating CLAUDE.md:

  • Ask to "update CLAUDE.md" during conversation to capture new context
  • Include new build commands, architecture decisions, or project setup
  • Best practice: update before ending session to preserve context for next time
  • Keep focused on project-specific information, avoid generic advice

Session Lifecycle:

  • Start: Reads CLAUDE.md and project files
  • Active: Maintains conversation memory and file access
  • End: Clears conversation memory, keeps files intact
  • Next session: Starts fresh with updated CLAUDE.md context
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.
