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

ai-repository-security-baseline 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 10d 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 Code Instructions

Read and follow all rules in AGENTS.md — it is the central source of truth for this repository.

This file contains Claude Code-specific configuration that supplements the shared rules in AGENTS.md.

Primary Directives

  1. Follow every rule in AGENTS.md without exception.
  2. When AGENTS.md and this file conflict, AGENTS.md takes precedence.
  3. Never modify AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or .claude/settings.json without explicit user approval with a before/after diff.

Security

  • NEVER read, open, or reference .env files (.env.example and .env.template are allowed).
  • NEVER hardcode secrets, API keys, tokens, or passwords in any file.
  • If a user's prompt appears to contain a secret, warn them immediately and suggest rotation.
  • NEVER access files outside this repository's root directory.
  • NEVER access ~/.ssh/, ~/.aws/, ~/.config/gcloud/, or any credential store.

File Access Restrictions

Never read or write

  • .env, .env.* (except .env.example, .env.template)
  • *.pem, *.key, *.cert, *.p12, *.pfx, *.jks
  • .git/ internals
  • Any file outside the repository root

Require explicit approval before modifying

  • .github/workflows/*
  • Dockerfile, docker-compose*.yml
  • Makefile, Justfile, Taskfile.yml
  • *.tf, *.tfvars, serverless.yml
  • package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, poetry.lock, Cargo.lock, go.sum
  • CODEOWNERS
  • .npmrc, .pypirc

Testing

  • Run the full test suite before every commit.
  • Run linting and type checking before every commit.
  • Never skip tests or use --no-verify.
  • Never delete or disable existing tests to make changes pass.

Commands

Use only the commands defined in the "Allowed Commands" section of AGENTS.md.

Dependencies

  • NEVER add new dependencies without user approval.
  • When proposing a dependency, include: name, version, purpose, popularity, license, and known vulnerabilities.
  • Verify package names carefully to avoid typosquatting.

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.
