In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing agent rules, Claude-format files, skills, hooks, settings, marketplace entries, or MCP server templates.
Why use it?
They prevent contributors from putting configuration in the wrong format, location, or scope.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is wardawgmalvicious/agent-config's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-config 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 agent-config 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 C, and why

agent-config CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent-config: repo instructions

The source of the user's coding-agent configuration, written for and validated against Claude Code; other tools may cherry-pick it, untested. README.md has the full picture. Evidence for each rule here or in .claude/rules/ is in docs/evidence/root-claude-md.md, under its heading: read it before changing a rule, not before following one.

Root CLAUDE.md is project scope, never deployed, and no mirror of claude/CLAUDE.md, the user-scope payload. It is the only project-scope instruction file that loads at startup, and .claude/rules/ holds what a file here triggers. Add no parallel file for another tool: a copilot-instructions.md and an AGENTS.md each drifted and were deleted. <tool>/ names a payload's format, not its only consumer: claude/ holds Claude Code's formats; skills/ is top-level as no one tool owns its format. This repo's own config sits where each tool looks: .mcp.json, which VS Code reads too, and .claude/settings.json.

.claude/skills/ (ls -d .claude/skills/*/) holds skills that act only on this repo: project scope, deployed nowhere, reached by no deploy script (2026-09-09), since elsewhere they only spend listing budget. Payload upkeep that must also run in client repos goes in skills/meta/ (learn). .claude/settings.json collapses every platform skill description to name-only here, so none can match by description in this repo: a miss here is no trigger bug. lint-skill-overrides.py checks coverage; a new group goes in its PLATFORM_GROUPS or BEHAVIOURAL_GROUPS.

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.
