goai: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

goai CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from zendev-sh/goai. It costs 1,306 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of goai AGENTS.md, MIT.

Project instructions for contributing to GoAI, a Go software development kit that gives applications one interface for working with many AI model providers. They describe its commands, architecture, and coding rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying the GoAI codebase, especially its text, object, embedding, image, video, provider, retry, caching, or schema features.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context needed to make changes that fit the existing structure and to run the expected build, test, and lint checks.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is zendev-sh/goai's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on goai 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 goai 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

goai 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to goai AGENTS.md — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
