What is micode CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file that tells a coding agent how to write and organize code in the Micode repository.

Use it when adding or changing Micode code, especially business logic, shared settings, types, and modules.

It keeps changes consistent with the project's rules for structure, style, types, and complexity.

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	$0.01707	$0.01707
Opus 5.5	$0.00683	$0.00683
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00341	$0.00341
Haiku 4.5	$0.00171	$0.00171

Security

Grade A, and why

micode 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.

Micode: Project Rules

Writing

Never use em dashes. Use colons, commas, or parentheses for asides, and restructure sentences that rely on em dashes.

Code Style

No classes for business logic. Use factory functions (createX) with closed-over state
No nesting beyond 2 levels inside a function body. Prefer early returns and small helpers
Max function length: 40 lines (skipBlankLines, skipComments)
No magic numbers/strings. Use named constants. Place shared tunables in src/utils/config.ts
No any types. Minimize type assertions (as Type): prefer Valibot schemas or type guards to narrow. Assertions are acceptable when the plugin SDK's loose typing leaves no alternative
Use unknown at system boundaries and normalize with Valibot or extractErrorMessage(...) before handling
No comments explaining what, only why when non-obvious
Double quotes, semicolons, trailing commas (enforced by Biome)
Max cognitive complexity: 10 per function (enforced by sonarjs)
No duplicate string literals beyond 3 occurrences (enforced by sonarjs)
No nested ternaries (enforced by unicorn)
2-space indent, 120-char line width, bracket spacing, always-parenthesized arrow functions (enforced by Biome)
All promises must be awaited or explicitly handled; no floating promises

Architecture

Module Layout

src/agents/ - Agent configuration objects (pure data, no logic). Each exports an AgentConfig
src/hooks/ - Lifecycle hook factories: createXHook(ctx: PluginInput) => { handlers }. All receive ctx: PluginInput for dependency injection
src/tools/ - Bun tool definitions via the plugin's tool() function from @opencode-ai/plugin/tool
src/utils/ - Shared utilities: config.ts (centralized tunables), errors.ts (error extraction), logger.ts (structured logging), model-limits.ts (context window limits)
src/config-loader.ts - Loads and validates micode.json/opencode.json configuration, merges agent overrides
src/mindmodel/ - Project-specific coding pattern constraints (.mindmodel/ directory): loader, classifier, formatter, review
src/octto/ - Browser-based brainstorming UI: session/ (WebSocket lifecycle), state/ (branch persistence), ui/ (HTML bundle)
src/indexing/ - Milestone artifact classification and ingestion for thoughts/ search
thoughts/ - Persistent artifact storage: ledgers/ (session continuity), shared/plans/ and shared/designs/ (outputs)

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.
