agentvault: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agentvault CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from vcav-io/agentvault. It costs 433 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project-specific instructions for AgentVault, a coordination protocol with Rust and TypeScript packages for relaying data and exposing tools to agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are used when developing or verifying AgentVault's relay, client library, MCP server, or demo interface.
Why use it?
They tell a coding agent how the packages fit together and how to build, test, format, and check them.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is vcav-io/agentvault's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentvault 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 agentvault 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

agentvault 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 it actually says

AgentVault

Open agent-native bounded-disclosure coordination protocol.

Build & Test

# Rust (relay)
cargo build --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --all -- --check

# TypeScript (client)
cd packages/agentvault-client && npm install && npm test

# TypeScript (MCP server)
cd packages/agentvault-mcp-server && npm install && npm run build

Requires Rust 1.88.0+ (pinned in rust-toolchain.toml).

Packages

Package Language Description
packages/agentvault-relay Rust Ephemeral API-mediated relay with receipt signing (no persistent storage)
packages/agentvault-client TypeScript Standalone relay client library (fetch-based)
packages/agentvault-mcp-server TypeScript MCP server exposing agentvault.* tools
packages/agentvault-demo-ui TypeScript Three-panel protocol observatory (demo/debugging)

Dependencies

  • vault-family-core (git dep) -- shared IFC vocabulary, receipt envelope, escalation interface
  • MCP server depends on agentvault-client via file: link
  • av-tee/tee-verifier — TEE receipt verification (Rust). The TS client surfaces TEE fields for introspection; full cryptographic verification requires tee-verifier. Intended path: published crate or VFC-hosted. Do not let this calcify as a git dep.

Key Directories

  • docs/ — architecture docs, threat model, guides, environment-variables.md for relay config
  • schemas/output/ — content-addressed output schemas (registry lookup by hash)
  • prompt_programs/ — model profiles and enforcement policies with lockfile validation

CI

GitHub Actions (ci.yml) runs fmt, clippy, build, and test for Rust. TypeScript packages are covered by ci-typescript.yml.

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.
