structured-context-spec CLAUDE.md

structured-context-spec CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from tim-mccrimmon/structured-context-spec. It costs 1,997 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for the Structured Context Specification, an open standard for organizing, versioning, and delivering context to AI agents. The repository contains the specification itself, not the separate commercial runtime product.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps develop and maintain the specification documents, including its models, bundles, tiers, relationships, and format rules.
Why use it?
It explains the project's purpose, terminology, current version, and repository layout to a coding agent. This gives the agent the context needed to work on the specification correctly.

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

structured-context-spec 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 5d 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.

Structured Context Specification (SCS) — Project Context

What This Project Is

The open-source SCS specification — a community-governed standard for structuring, versioning, and delivering context to AI agents.

This is the spec repo, not the product. SCS defines the format (SCDs, bundles, tiers, relationships). SCP (Supervisory Control Plane) is the commercial runtime product built on top of SCS — it lives in a separate private repo.

Current spec version: 0.3 License: Apache 2.0 Website: https://structuredcontext.dev Registry/product: SCP (separate repo: SCP-2)

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.
