codex-agent-core-template CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for a codebase that supports several AI hosts, including Claude Cowork. They explain the project’s rules, startup checks, approval process, and limits on using tools or changing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before working on the codex-agent-core-template project, especially when choosing a project layer, using tools, or editing files.
Why use it?
They help an AI agent follow the repository’s required workflow and avoid unapproved changes or invented project details.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d 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.
