Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is tdimino/claude-code-minoan's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-code-minoan 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 claude-code-minoan 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

claude-code-minoan 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 8d 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.

Contributing

  • Skills must be self-contained--no cross-skill imports
  • Hooks must wrap json.load in try/except--malformed input must not crash
  • No API keys in the repo--use placeholders
  • Flat skill names are authoritative--never reference category paths in code

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full guidelines.

Quick Reference

  • Setup: ./setup.sh or see README.md Quick Start
  • Sync from private: ./scripts/sync-to-repo.sh [--dry-run]
  • Sync config: .sync-config.json (category map, exclusions)
  • Skill counts: find skills -name SKILL.md -not -path '*/_archive/*' | wc -l

Guides

  • ARCHITECTURE.md -- Repo layout, skill anatomy, hook wiring, invariants
  • hooks/README.md -- All 46 hooks explained, including the SubagentStart/Stop loggers (subagent-spawn-log.py + subagent-stop-log.py) that catch silent subagent failures (tool errors, 32K output truncation, empty responses). Read when investigating subagent costs or unexplained agent behavior.

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.
