Why use it?
They document the project's commands, checks, installation targets, and development conventions in one place.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is telagod/code-abyss's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on code-abyss 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 code-abyss configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is npm run kernel:sync # Re-vendor skills/_kernel/ from $MYTHOS_DIR (default ../mythos) — wipes and rebuilds.

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 B, and why

code-abyss CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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

Project Overview

Code Abyss is an npm package that installs persona configuration plus proactive execution guidance into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw. It delivers: persona rules, 6 switchable output styles, 30 domain skills, 5 executable verification/generation tools, and a lazily-loaded discipline kernel (9 judgment bundles under skills/_kernel/ — verify:skills validates 39 total). See Architecture below for how the kernel composes with persona/style.

Commands

npm test                          # Run Jest test suite
npm run verify:skills             # Validate all SKILL.md frontmatter contracts (fail-fast gate)
npm run kernel:sync               # Re-vendor skills/_kernel/ from $MYTHOS_DIR (default ../mythos) — wipes and rebuilds
node bin/install.js --help        # Installer CLI help
node bin/install.js --target claude -y   # Zero-config install to ~/.claude/
node bin/install.js --target codex -y    # Zero-config install to ~/.codex/
node bin/install.js --target gemini -y   # Zero-config install to ~/.gemini/
node bin/install.js --target openclaw -y # Zero-config install to ~/.openclaw/
node bin/install.js --list-styles        # List available output styles

Running individual verify tools directly:

node skills/analyzing-security/scripts/security_scanner.js <path>

node skills/analyzing-changes/scripts/change_analyzer.js --mode staged|working
node skills/checking-code-quality/scripts/quality_checker.js <path>
node skills/generating-docs/scripts/doc_generator.js <path>

Running a single test file:

npx jest test/install-registry.test.js --runInBand

Persona behavioral battery (opt-in eval)

scripts/persona-battery/ measures whether an installed persona's responses actually honor kernel precedence (correctness > voice, no capitulation openers, security authorization gates, etc. — skills/_kernel/) across 10 behavioral probes (probes.json). This is a small honest smoke battery, not a calibrated statistical eval (10 cases, not the 50-200+ a rigorous eval needs) — treat results as a spot-check, not a certified score.

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.
