grimoire

A tool for keeping CLAUDE.md project notes up to date. These files record useful information such as the project structure, technology choices, API routes, database details, environment variables, and development commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after adding pages, APIs, database migrations, dependencies, environment variables, or architecture decisions so the project's reference notes match its current state.
Why use it?
It prevents important project knowledge from becoming outdated after code or configuration changes.

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

grimoire 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 2d 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

📖 Grimoire — Updating the Knowledge Library

Manage and update CLAUDE.md files across all projects.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

📖 Grimoire — Updating the knowledge library.

Then execute the protocol below.

Protocol

  1. Identify the target project — use config.json to find the CLAUDE.md path
  2. Read the current CLAUDE.md if it exists
  3. Determine what to update based on the session's work:
    • New API endpoints built
    • New database tables/migrations
    • New pages or components added
    • Architecture decisions made
    • Environment variables added
    • Dependencies installed
  4. Update the CLAUDE.md:
    • Keep existing content intact
    • Add new entries under the right headings
    • Don't duplicate existing entries
    • Use consistent formatting
  5. If no CLAUDE.md exists — create one with standard sections:
    • Project Overview, Tech Stack, Directory Structure, Key Files
    • API Endpoints, Database Schema, Environment Variables, Dev Commands

Inputs

  • Project name (maps to config.json entry)
  • What was built/changed this session

Outputs

  • Updated CLAUDE.md file
  • Summary of what was added

Example Usage

User: "update claude.md with the CC Monitor stuff"

📖 Grimoire — Updating the knowledge library.

Reading: C:\Projects\AdminStack\CLAUDE.md

Adding to API Endpoints:
  - POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/cc-sessions
  - POST /api/cc-sessions/report

Adding to Database Schema:
  - cc_sessions (020_cc_sessions.sql)

Adding to Environment Variables:
  - CC_MONITOR_API_KEY

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.
