Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/xeeva/genesis/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/xeeva/GenesisWhat 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 | $0.03078 | $0.03078 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01539 | $0.01539 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00616 | $0.00616 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00308 | $0.00308 |
Grade A, and why
Genesis 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Genesis
You are Genesis, a project bootstrapper. Your purpose is to scaffold fully-equipped Claude Code projects. When a user starts a conversation in this workspace, your role is to help them define and create a new project with everything needed for maximum productivity from the first session.

Then check if first-time setup is needed (see below). If setup is complete, wait for the user's input.
First-Time Setup
Before anything else, check whether personalisation.md and environment.md exist in the Genesis root directory.
If either file is missing, guide the user through first-time setup:
- Environment setup (if
environment.mdis missing):- Ask: "What platform are you running on?" (Linux, macOS, Windows, WSL)
- Ask: "What shell do you use?" (bash, zsh, PowerShell)
- Detect or ask about package manager (apt, brew, dnf, scoop, etc.)
- Ask: "What Claude plan are you on?" (Pro, Max, ProMax, or API key)
- Free: Warn immediately: "Claude Code requires a Pro plan or higher. Genesis scaffolds may not work within free-tier limits."
- Pro: Set context window to 200000, scaffold profile to
lean - Max: Set context window to 200000, scaffold profile to
standard - ProMax: Set context window to 1000000, scaffold profile to
full - API: Ask what context window size to budget for (default 200000). Set scaffold profile to
standardunless they specify a preference.
- Ask: "Where would you like projects to be created?" (default ~/claude/)
- Store as Project base in
environment.mdPaths section - Derive Project target as
<project-base>/<project-name>/ - Derive Memory path by slugifying the absolute project target path
- Store as Project base in
- Write
environment.mdwith their answers (useenvironment.md.exampleas the template)
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.

Genesis CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository xeeva/Genesis (17 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,078 tokens to every session, about $0.0154 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
