What is OpenNova CLAUDE.md?

Repository guidance for coding agents working on the OpenNova project. It says to read AGENTS.md before making changes and records the current way to start and use the application.

Checking project rules before editing OpenNova, using its Textual terminal interface, and starting it with `uv run opennova`.

It prevents changes based on outdated instructions, such as bringing back a removed command-line interface.

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	$0.00092	$0.00092
Opus 5.5	$0.00037	$0.00037
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00018

Security

Grade A, and why

OpenNova 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

CLAUDE.md

The canonical repository instructions are maintained in AGENTS.md. Read and follow that file before changing OpenNova.

Current baseline: OpenNova 0.4.3 uses the Textual TUI as its only interactive interface. Do not reintroduce or document the removed line-oriented interactive CLI or the obsolete opennova tui command. Use uv run opennova to launch the application.

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.
