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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00511 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00255 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
claude-code-governed 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Claude Code Governed Profile
Requirements Covered
Governance Requirements
- REQ-012: Least-Privilege Agent Permissions
- REQ-217: Agent Permissions Check
- REQ-220: Policy Guardrails
- REQ-244: Context Window Sizing
- REQ-245: Live Context Fill Indicator
- REQ-246: Auto Context Compression
- REQ-247: Hard Context Ceiling
Core Principle
The claude-code-governed profile is designed for agents operating within the Claude Code environment. It ensures compliance with Specsmith governance while leveraging Claude's specific capabilities and constraints.

Environment-Specific Features
- Claude Code integration capabilities
- Context window optimization for Claude's token limits
- Compliance with Claude's usage policies
- Integration with Claude's code editing features
Implementation Details
Claude-Specific Execution
- Leverage Claude Code's native capabilities for code editing
- Optimize context windows to fit Claude's token limits
- Apply Specsmith governance rules within Claude's environment
- Maintain traceability between Claude actions and Specsmith requirements
Context Management
- Optimize context for Claude's 100K token limit
- Apply Claude-specific compression techniques
- Ensure context fits within Claude's constraints while maintaining traceability
- Track Claude-specific token usage
Configuration
Default Behavior
By default, the claude-code-governed profile:
- Integrates with Claude Code's native editing features
- Optimizes context for Claude's token limits
- Maintains full Specsmith governance compliance
- Tracks Claude-specific usage metrics
Override Options
- Allow Claude-specific skill overrides
- Support Claude Code environment customization
- Enable Claude-specific context optimization
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.

claude-code-governed is a skill published in the GitHub repository layer1labs/specsmith (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 511 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.

arch-audit
Audit Claude Code architecture files against Anthropic docs and release notes, and verify internal ecosystem consistency. Run on demand to maintain compliance, catch new features, and keep the context system clean.

Autonomous local code review. Reviews either an open PR's diff (via gh) or the local working diff against a base branch (--local, auto-selected when no PR exists yet), spawns a dedicated review subagent with universal + stack-specific severity criteria, posts the review as a comment on the PR (audit trail; skipped in…
