agent-playbook: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-playbook CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from zhaono1/agent-playbook. It costs 370 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-specific instruction set for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, working on the agent-playbook project. It defines which skills to use and what actions are allowed for commits, pushes, and pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps route skill-related questions, require the appropriate pull-request workflow, keep bilingual documentation aligned, and distinguish local commits from pushing or submitting a pull request.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant a consistent way to handle ambiguous requests and prevents it from pushing changes or opening a pull request without clear permission.

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

agent-playbook 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 8d 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 Code Instructions for agent-playbook

Default Behavior

When working on this repository, always use the skill-router skill first when:

  • User asks for help or guidance
  • Request seems ambiguous or could use multiple skills
  • User mentions "skill", "which", "how to"
  • User is unsure about the best approach

Skill Priority

The skill-router should be your entry point for all skill-related questions. It will:

  1. Analyze the user's request
  2. Match to the most appropriate skill
  3. Ask clarifying questions if needed
  4. Recommend the best skill for the task

When Creating PRs

Always use the create-pr skill when:

  • User asks to create a pull request
  • User says "submit my changes" or "push and create PR"
  • User wants to submit code for review

This ensures bilingual documentation stays in sync.

Commit, Push, and PR Boundaries

  • "commit" / "提交代码" authorizes a local commit only.
  • "push" / "推送" authorizes updating the named remote branch.
  • "create PR" / "提交审核" / "提交并创建 PR" authorizes opening a pull request.

Do not infer push or PR authority from a commit-only request. When the user explicitly asks for end-to-end submission or release, the requested chain may continue without redundant confirmation.

Project Context

This is the agent-playbook repository - a collection of portable agent skills.

  • Skills are located in skills/ directory
  • Each skill has a SKILL.md file (the actual skill)
  • Each skill may have a README.md file (documentation)
  • The CLI can install skills for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and DeepSeek Harness
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.
