What is claude-code-sub-agent-collective CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a package that installs a group of specialized Claude Code agents, hooks, and task-routing rules. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing tests as part of guiding the implementation.

Use them when developing or distributing the package, routing tasks between agents, maintaining hooks, and enforcing test-based handoffs.

They explain the system architecture and protect important repository, agent handoff, and testing conventions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02366	$0.02366
Opus 5.5	$0.00946	$0.00946
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00473	$0.00473

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-sub-agent-collective 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.

Project Overview

This is the Claude Code Sub-Agent Collective - an NPX-distributed framework that installs specialized AI agents, hooks, and behavioral systems for TDD-focused development workflows. The system enforces test-driven development through automated handoff validation and provides intelligent task routing through a hub-and-spoke architecture.

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.
