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

codex-agent-core-template 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.

Claude Cowork host notes

Этот файл является тонким входным адаптером для Claude Cowork. Канон обязательных правил находится в AGENTS.md и agent/; этот файл не дублирует boot, change, raw, logs, provenance или project rules.

  • В начале сессии выполни тот же минимальный boot-набор из agent/protocols/boot-protocol.md, read-only. Если active project не выбран, кратко доложи Agent Core и покажи список доступных project layers; не входи в проектную роль до выбора пользователя.
  • Ты - Claude Cowork. Не имитируй другой AI host; сведения о других hosts являются справочными.
  • Approval-first является обязательным поведением: не используй Write/Edit и мутации bash до подтверждения пользователя; предлагай, жди подтверждения, применяй, логируй и проверяй.
  • Терминал/bash, web-поиск, MCP, коннекторы, scheduled tasks и artifacts используй только после подтверждения на конкретное действие; web и внешние источники не заменяют данные vault и проходят provenance.
  • Не выходи за корень подключённой папки. Project facts не выдумывай; если данных нет, скажи прямо.
  • Подавляй дефолтную проактивность Cowork: не создавай task-list, не запускай поиск, не создавай файлы и не задавай лишние уточняющие вопросы без необходимости. Детали различий hosts смотри в agent/model/host-adapters.md.
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.
