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

evidra 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for agents working in this repository. More specific instructions (the user, the plan) take precedence.

Evidra Core is an MCP execution-evidence recorder, not a scoring platform. One endpoint wraps one upstream MCP server, merges two local tools into its tool list, enforces protocol order, and writes a signed evidence chain that a human reconciles afterwards.

Read before changing behaviour: docs/architecture.md defines the runtime boundaries; docs/evidence-format.md defines the event and trust model; docs/validation.md records what has and has not been measured; docs/getting-started.md and docs/cli-reference.md are what a user reads. The approved design and implementation plan for active work live under docs/plans/.

Build & Test

make build            # bin/evidra, bin/evidra-mcp
make test             # canonical repository test target
go test ./cmd/... ./pkg/... -v -count=1    # equivalent direct Core scope
make fmt lint tidy
go build -o bin/evidra-fixture ./cmd/evidra-fixture/    # conformance upstream
go build -o bin/evidra-gatea ./cmd/evidra-gatea/        # experiment runner
go test -race ./pkg/evidence/... ./pkg/proxy/... ./pkg/report/... ./cmd/evidra-fixture/... ./cmd/evidra-gatea/...
golangci-lint run ./...        # must report zero issues
bash tests/run_guards.sh       # every shell guard, no exclusion list

CI references are themselves checked: tests/test_ci_workflows_resolve.sh fails if a live workflow names a make target, script, package path, config or -run pattern that does not exist, and tests/core-workflows.txt declares every workflow as enabled or disabled (a disabled workflow must carry its refusal marker). The package graph is an exact declared set in tests/core-packages.txt, not a count floor.

Single case: go test -run 'TestName' -v ./pkg/proxy/. Gate artifacts cite tests by name, so renaming or deleting one means updating the artifact in the same commit — a checklist row pointing at a function that no longer compiles is not evidence of anything.

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.
