sous-chef: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

sous-chef CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from tomascupr/sous-chef. It costs 210 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Sous-Chef, a Claude Code plugin where one agent coordinates and reviews work while another agent implements it. Claude Code is a command-line coding assistant.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help agents run end-to-end tasks, iterate until tests pass, and edit SKILL.md files with valid descriptions and registration guidance.
Why use it?
They give agents the project’s source-of-truth rules and specific requirements for maintaining skills and their trigger descriptions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is tomascupr/sous-chef's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sous-chef 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 sous-chef 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

sous-chef 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 7d 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 it actually says

@AGENTS.md

This repo dogfoods its own pattern: the file above is the single source of truth for both Claude Code and Codex. Claude-specific notes only below this line.

  • When editing SKILL.md files, keep frontmatter descriptions in third person, stating what the skill does AND when to use it - descriptions are what trigger invocation. Keep each under ~350 characters (always-on context in every session; audit with claude plugin details sous-chef). No ": " inside a description - YAML plain scalars break on it; use " - " instead.
  • On skill-heavy setups the harness lists a skill name-only - description omitted - until that skill has a skillUsage entry in ~/.claude.json (verified live, 2026-07-03: content-independent, deterministic per user). A never-invoked skill is invisible to model-triggering, so after adding a skill, invoke it once to register it.
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.
