Orbital CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from zqiren/Orbital. It costs 6,930 tokens per session, scanned C, original, GPL-3.0.

A set of Claude Code instructions for the Orbital project. It covers development rules, the project’s design, testing requirements, and a unit-tests-first approach.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It gives Claude the project-specific context and expected testing process before it edits code. This helps prevent changes that conflict with the project’s design or quality checks.

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 C, and why

Orbital CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

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.
