claw-code AGENTS.md

A project guide for Claw Code, a Rust command-line agent harness, with a map of its code, tests, documentation, and conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning, editing, or reviewing Claw Code and its Rust, Python, test, or documentation areas.
Why use it?
It helps the coding agent find the right files and understand which parts of the repository are active or only used for reference.

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

claw-code AGENTS.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.

PROJECT KNOWLEDGE BASE

Generated: 2026-08-16 Commit: b71afdd Branch: main

OVERVIEW

Claw Code: public Rust implementation of the claw CLI agent harness (Claude-Code-style). Canonical code lives in rust/; the repo is an agent-managed exhibit (harnesses plan/execute/verify per README), not a hand-operated product. src/ is a companion Python porting/parity workspace, not production code.

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.

claw-code AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ultraworkers/claw-code (195,163 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,643 tokens to every session, about $0.0082 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
