cladding-bootstrap

A project rule for Cladding, a project-specific system whose operations are not described in the entry. It says Cladding should only be initialised when the user explicitly asks for it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It controls when the Cladding initialisation process may be used in this project.
Why use it?
It prevents ordinary coding work from accidentally starting or using Cladding.

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.

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

cladding-bootstrap 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 yesterday.

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

Cladding is available only in this project. Do not initialize or invoke Cladding for ordinary work. Use the cladding-init skill only when the user explicitly names Cladding and asks to initialize, adopt, or refresh it.

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.

cladding-bootstrap is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository qwerfunch/cladding (14 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session, about $0.0003 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.
