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

VaultysClaw copilot-instructions.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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

VaultysClaw — Agent Instructions

Decentralized AI agent orchestration platform. Monorepo (pnpm workspaces + Turborepo) with three packages:

  • packages/shared — core types, security utils, channel protocol
  • packages/control-plane — Next.js App Router dashboard + WebSocket server (port 3000 / WS 8080)
  • packages/agent-controller — agent runtime CLI, tools, skills, memory

See CLAUDE.md for the full architecture overview.

Build & Test

pnpm install
pnpm build               # All packages (shared must build first — handled by Turborepo)
pnpm dev                 # All packages dev mode
pnpm vaultysclaw:dev     # Control plane only
pnpm dev -F @vaultysclaw/agent-controller

pnpm test                # Vitest, no watch (default config)
pnpm type-check
pnpm lint

Single test file: pnpm vitest run __tests__/channels.test.ts

See docs/QUICK_START.md for setup and docs/DEVELOPMENT.md for full dev workflow.

Key Architecture Decisions

  • ORM: Prisma with PostgreSQL. All DAOs live in packages/control-plane/db/ and use the Prisma client (db/client.ts). Schema in prisma/schema.prisma, migrations in prisma/migrations/. Never use raw SQL in route handlers — use the appropriate DAO.
  • Auth: Passwordless (VaultysId ECDSA challenge-response) via NextAuth. Each route handler calls getAuthContext() from @/lib/auth-utils — no middleware file.
  • WebSocket protocol: All messages are typed envelopes from packages/shared/src/channel-types.ts. Critical messages (policies, intents) carry ECDSA signatures verified before processing.
  • @/* alias: Only works in packages/control-plane (Next.js). Agent-controller uses relative imports.
  • Skills are pre-compiled JS: Skills discovered at runtime must be .js/.mjs files, not .ts.
  • Agent-controller SQLite: The agent-controller keeps its own local SQLite (agent.db) for identity, sessions, and memory — this is separate from the control plane's PostgreSQL.

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.
