Claude-Project-Bootstrap: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Claude-Project-Bootstrap CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from toBzh30/Claude-Project-Bootstrap. It costs 878 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions and development tools for Claude Project Bootstrap, a Claude Code marketplace containing setup and software-engineering plugins. They cover project agreements, GitHub setup, documentation, code quality, testing, and session handover.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when maintaining the marketplace plugins, improving project templates, setting up repositories, diagnosing code, using test-driven development (writing tests before implementation), and preparing work for the next session.
Why use it?
They give contributors a shared way to change the plugins and track that work. They also describe which parts are complete and which still need work.

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

Claude-Project-Bootstrap 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 2mo 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.

What Claude-Project-Bootstrap is

The source repo for the claude-project-bootstrap Claude Code marketplace, which ships two plugins: claude-project-bootstrap (one-time project setup — the four skills bootstrap-working-agreements, github-project-setup, split-claudemd, update-conventions, plus the git/PR hooks preflight-branch, claim-branch, doc-gate, and their templates) and engineering-craft (ongoing craft skills — diagnose, tdd, prototype, grill-with-docs, improve-codebase-architecture, to-issues, to-prd, zoom-out, vendored and adapted from mattpocock/skills, MIT — plus the homegrown checkpoint session-handover skill). Work here means changes to the plugins themselves — new skill steps, template improvements, bug fixes. The GitHub Project tracks that work; the working agreements here are also the bundled template that gets installed in target repos.

  • .claude/rules/working-agreements.md — issue/PR/branch lifecycle, scope discipline, lifecycle ownership. Read at session start.
  • .claude/rules/decisions.md — why things are the way they are. Read when a rule looks arbitrary or a path you'd suggest was already considered and rejected.

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.
