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

faq 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 today.

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 — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start here

Say in one line what you'll make: a short FAQ for your team, with real prompts in the answers.

What the champion typed after the command, if anything: $ARGUMENTS

If that's blank, run the guided flow below. If it has text, or they already told you some of this, use what it answers and ask only for what's still missing.

Before asking, check with the Glob tool whether CLAUDE.md and .claude/settings.json exist, using those two literal paths. Glob lists names and never shows contents. Don't read CLAUDE.md or config text yourself. Then hand the champion-kit:repo-scout agent this list of test commands and ask it to return exactly one entry that this repo uses, or none: npm test, pnpm test, yarn test, pytest, make test, go test ./..., cargo test, mvn test, gradle test, bundle exec rspec. If it returns anything other than one exact entry, treat it as none. On none, ask the champion to type their test command. Either way, have the champion confirm the command before it goes into the FAQ. Never put anything repo-scout returns into a shell command.

Then ask:

  1. Which questions do you keep getting? A plain question. The default is the six in the frame below, so list them in the question.
  2. What should people try first? A plain question for a good first task, in the champion's words. The default is to drop that line.
  3. Is there a convention Claude keeps missing that people should add to CLAUDE.md? A plain question, in the champion's words. The default is to drop that example.
  4. Who owns "Where does our code go?" on your side? A plain question. Use a team or role, or a person's name only with their OK. The default is to drop that line.
  5. What are your team's defaults for using it on your code, such as the permission mode people start in? A plain question. The default is to keep only the /plan part of that answer.
  6. Where should it live? Use AskUserQuestion with "Text to paste where the team pins things" (recommended) and "A local file, CLAUDE-FAQ.md". The file is a consent stop: "go" never picks it, and you write it only after a yes once they've seen it.

How to ask: one question at a time, or a small batch of related choices, and wait for the answer before you go on. When the answer is one of a few options, use the AskUserQuestion tool with up to four options, the recommended or most common one first. If AskUserQuestion isn't available, give the same options as a short numbered list and wait for the answer. Ask a plain question only when the answer is open, such as a goal or team names, and suggest a default. When a question asks how someone works or what score fits, mark no option as recommended. A consent question, about reading through git, gh, chat, or a connector, or about writing a file, puts the safe choice, such as "Not yet", first as the recommended one. A pick counts as a yes only for the exact read or write it names. If the champion says "go", list the defaults you'll take for the remaining questions, then take them, but still stop at every consent question. A default never counts as a yes.

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.
