Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from tjmustard/Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework. It costs 533 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using the Hypergraph Coding Agent Framework with Claude Code, a coding assistant that can read files, edit code, run commands, and manage tasks. They map framework actions to Claude Code tools and describe its slash-command skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help Claude Code read and change files, run shell commands, search the project, ask questions, invoke skills, and track multi-step work.
Why use it?
They keep Claude Code’s actions consistent with the framework and require task tracking for work involving three or more steps.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

This is tjmustard/Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework configures →

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

Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework 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 1mo 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.

For Claude Code: System Mandates

Read AGENTS.md for the full framework system mandates that apply to all IDEs.

Claude Code-specific overrides and additions:

Tool Names

When skills say "read/write/run/edit a file," use these Claude Code tools:

Action Tool
Read a file Read tool
Write a file Write tool
Edit a file Edit tool
Run a shell command Bash tool
Ask the user a question AskUserQuestion tool
Search file patterns Glob tool
Search file contents Grep tool

Skill Invocation

Skills are available as slash commands in .claude/commands/. Each command is a thin bridge that reads its corresponding .agents/skills/hyper-<name>/SKILL.md. When the user invokes a command, the skill file provides the full instructions.

Task Tracking

For any task involving 3 or more steps, use the built-in task tools before starting work:

  • TaskCreate — create tasks with clear subjects
  • TaskUpdate — mark in_progress when starting, completed when done
  • TaskList — check overall progress

Context Window Management

When a skill instructs you to "open a new context window": complete the current agent turn, then inform the user to start a new conversation thread for the next phase. This prevents cross-contamination between adversarial agents (the Red Team must not see the Architect's conversation history).

Safe Sandboxing & Automation

When instructed to write experimental code, test tools, or execute destructive scripts, you must always checkout a branch prefixed with research/ or swimlane/.

These prefixes act as an automatic local sandbox. They are intercepted by a repository pre-push hook, physically preventing you from accidentally pushing unstable code or broken logic to the remote server. Never execute large automated changes directly on main or a feature branch.

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.
