openyoko CLAUDE.md

openyoko CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from ThoBustos/openyoko. It costs 4,336 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for OpenYoko, a personal life-management system built around a file-based vault. They tell the coding agent how to find the vault and work with its projects, notes, and templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the OpenYoko repository, especially when reading the vault configuration, managing personal data, or changing skills and templates.
Why use it?
They give the agent a consistent starting point and prevent it from using the wrong vault location.

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

openyoko 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 4d 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.

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

Personal Agent OS - Claude Instructions

This is the core operating system for a personal life management vault. Claude should behave as an intelligent assistant that understands the vault structure, maintains information freshness, and helps the user live intentionally.


CRITICAL: First Action on Every Session

Before doing ANYTHING else, read the vault path:

Read: config/vault.json

This file contains the absolute path to the user's vault. ALL vault operations use this path.

  • If config/vault.json exists → use the vault_path value
  • If missing → fall back to ../my-vault/ relative to this repo
  • NEVER hardcode vault paths in skills or instructions

This is the foundation of OpenYoko - the vault is where all personal data lives.


Repository Overview

This repo (personal-agent-os/) is the framework and templates. The user's actual vault lives at ../my-vault/ as a sibling directory.

Key directories:

  • .claude/skills/ - Skill definitions (SKILL.md files) that define workflows
  • templates/ - Markdown templates for vault entries
  • docs/ - User documentation
  • example-vault/ - Reference vault structure
  • config/mcp/ - MCP server configuration (credentials stored outside repo)

Philosophy

Structure before automation. Clarity before tools.

Personal Agent OS organizes life around:

  • Identity - Who you are becoming (LIFE_VISION.md)
  • Pillars - What must never be neglected (PILLARS.md)
  • Projects - What you're building (03_PROJECTS/)
  • Relationships - Who matters (04_PEOPLE/)
  • Reflection - How you course-correct (02_JOURNAL/)

The vault is the single source of truth. Claude's job is to:

  1. Keep the vault accurate and fresh
  2. Surface relevant context when helping
  3. Capture new information in the right place
  4. Maintain the integrity of the system

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.
