Why use it?
It helps coding agents understand where each edition's instructions and supporting resources live and how skills are combined.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is tobihagemann/turbo's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on turbo 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 turbo 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

turbo 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Turbo

Turbo is a modular collection of agentic coding skills with sibling editions for Claude Code and Codex. Skills connect into larger pipelines like /finalize and /review-pr. See README.md for the full overview and dependency graph.

Each skill is self-contained. Skills compose other skills to any depth via /skill-name invocations. The key distinction is between analysis skills (return structured findings without acting) and workflow skills (compose analysis skills and act on results).

Key Files

  • ~/.turbo/config.json — User-level configuration. Top-level oracle is shared. Per-edition state lives under claude.{excludeSkills, lastUpdateHead, configVersion}; the parallel codex.* object is present when the Codex edition is also installed.
  • ~/.turbo/repo/ — Local clone of the upstream turbo repo (skill source for install/update)
  • ~/.claude/skills/ — Installed Claude Code skills

A change that leaves a ~/.turbo/config.json key with no effect carries its own cleanup: add a MIGRATION.md entry deleting the key in each edition and bump the Current version in UPDATE.md. Dropping the key from SETUP.md only stops new installs from writing it, leaving it behind everywhere it was already written.

When working inside claude/, also see claude/CLAUDE.md for edition-specific rules.

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.
