ccf-architecture-contract

ccf-architecture-contract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BostonOrange/claude-code-framework. It costs 142 tokens per session (3,497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for the claude-code-framework repository. It explains where files belong and which structural rules changes must preserve.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before moving files, changing setup scripts or configuration, editing documented counts, or investigating a confusing test failure.
Why use it?
It prevents changes that break the framework’s layout, installers, configuration, or tests. It also points to known weak spots and related guides.

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

ccf-architecture-contract 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CCF Architecture Contract

The load-bearing design decisions of claude-code-framework, the invariants every change must preserve, and the currently open weak points. This is the "why" layer; sibling playbooks own the "how".

Usage

Load this skill when:

  • Deciding where a new file belongs (distributable payload vs dogfooded config vs account-level skill).
  • About to change setup.sh/setup.ps1 structure, config/*.json shape, or any documented count.
  • A tests/check-*.sh failure makes no sense until you know what invariant it protects.
  • Asked "is this a known issue?" — check the weak-points list below first.

Do NOT use this skill for: term definitions or the config/*.json field catalog (→ ccf-domain-reference); which count lives in which doc, or fixing drift (→ ccf-doc-sync-campaign); bash↔PowerShell mirroring mechanics (→ ccf-parity-playbook); drift-allowlist editing procedure (→ ccf-dogfood-and-drift).

The three-tier content model

This repo is the framework, not a target project — never run setup.sh here (see CLAUDE.md). Every file lives in exactly one tier:

Tier Paths Installed by Reaches target repos?
Distributable payload templates/, skills/, workflows/, memory/ setup.sh / setup.ps1 copy into the target's .claude/ etc. Yes
Dogfood config .claude/ Hand-curated; lives only here No
Account-level skills global-skills/ install-global-skill.sh / .ps1~/.claude/skills/ No (installed per user account, not per repo)

Why three tiers: the repo needs Claude Code tooling to work on itself, but running the installer here would overwrite the curated .claude/ with generic rendered output. So .claude/ is a deliberately reduced, hand-maintained subset, and every difference between it and templates/+skills/ must be listed in config/dogfood-drift-allowlist.txt or tests/check-dogfood-drift.sh fails (mechanics → ccf-dogfood-and-drift). global-skills/ exists because /install-framework must be available before any repo has the framework — it bootstraps installation, so it cannot itself be a per-repo template (see CLAUDE.md "Global Skills").

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.
