faf: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

faf CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Wolfe-Jam/faf. It costs 1,558 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for FAF, a file format for sharing structured context about a software project with AI agents and tools. They point implementers to the format specification, schemas, and examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building software that generates or consumes project.faf files. The instructions cover the format's JavaScript implementation context, schemas, examples, and specification version.
Why use it?
They give developers one documented set of rules for creating and reading project.faf files. This helps different implementations exchange project context consistently.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is Wolfe-Jam/faf's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on faf 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 faf 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

faf 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — @faf/specification

What This Is

.faf (Foundational AI-context Format) - Official format specification

Stack

  • Language: JavaScript

Context

  • Who: AI agents, developers, and tool implementers who read or write project.faf — anyone building an implementation that conforms to the format
  • What: .faf (Foundational AI-context Format) - Official format specification
  • Why: A portable AI-context standard needs one canonical, IANA-registered specification — the authoritative source for application/vnd.faf+yaml that every implementation conforms to
  • Where: https://github.com/Wolfe-Jam/faf
  • When: IANA-registered (application/vnd.faf+yaml, October 30 2025) — Specification 3.3.0
  • How: Read SPECIFICATION.md and the JSON schemas; reference example.faf and examples/; implementations write and read project.faf files conforming to this spec

CLAUDE.md — Wolfe-Jam/faf

What this is

The format specifications. Three IANA-registered media types live here, plus the schemas and conformance fixtures that let anyone check an implementation.

There is no executable code in this repo. It defines the formats; other repositories implement them.

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.
