simplicio-loop: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

simplicio-loop CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from wesleysimplicio/simplicio-loop. It costs 3,230 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An instruction file for simplicio-loop, a system that repeatedly gives a coding task to workers until evidence confirms completion or a limit is reached.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when operating or modifying simplicio-loop to manage multi-step coding tasks, freeze acceptance criteria, track attempts, detect stalled progress, and verify each requested item.
Why use it?
It defines the loop’s required workers, durable task records, acceptance checks, and proof requirements so work does not stop based only on an agent’s claim.

This is wesleysimplicio/simplicio-loop's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on simplicio-loop 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 simplicio-loop 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

simplicio-loop 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.

CLAUDE.md — simplicio-loop (Claude Code)

This repo ships simplicio-loop, a runtime-agnostic super-plugin: an autonomous looping orchestrator (the /simplicio-loop skill) plus six satellite skills, packaged for 12 runtimes.

The 7 skills

Skill Role
simplicio-loop unified public entrypoint: orchestrator core + hardened Ralph loop — re-feed the goal until an evidence-gated <promise> or a cap; durable run-journal (attempt memory) + stall detector (scripts/loop_journal.py) so it switches strategy instead of oscillating, plus a task anchor (scripts/task_anchor.py) — durable memory for SCOPE that freezes the acceptance criteria and blocks drift / "done" while any AC is unverified — and, above it, a task backlog (scripts/task_backlog.py, SKILL.md § Phase 0): the frozen multi-item LLM decomposition (per-item ACs + depends_on), genesis-aware (an empty repo leads with a scaffold item), whose done is gated on the verified anchor
simplicio-tasks legacy alias kept only for compatibility with older installs and saved prompts
simplicio-orient terminal-first token economy — output-reduction catalog, tee-cache, signatures-read
simplicio-review thermos-style parallel adversarial review on distinct rubrics → deduped verdict
simplicio-compress caveman-style prose + memory compression, byte-preserving, transform_guard
simplicio-learn retrospective → durable, deduped lessons written to memory
simplicio-autoresearch evolutionary mutate/eval/keep-revert optimizer (Karpathy autoresearch) — yool-guardrailed caps, git-isolated branch, anti-Goodhart gate-first eval, savings-event receipt (scripts/autoresearch.py)

They live in .claude/skills/ and load automatically in this repo.

The 2 bound operators (REQUIRED by the loop)

simplicio-loop does not survey or edit with the LLM — it delegates to two installed CLIs. The supported install surface is the single package simplicio-cli, which exposes simplicio-dev-cli and also brings simplicio-mapper transitively; the loop BLOCKS if either runtime binary is absent:

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.
