Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00082 | $0.01482 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00593 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00296 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00148 |
Grade A, and why
claude-md-improver 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to claude-md-improver — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md Improver
Audit, evaluate, and improve CLAUDE.md files across a codebase to ensure Claude Code has optimal project context.
This skill can write to CLAUDE.md files. After presenting a quality report and getting user approval, it updates CLAUDE.md files with targeted improvements.
Workflow
Phase 1: Discovery
Find all CLAUDE.md files in the repository:
find . -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name ".claude.md" -o -name ".claude.local.md" 2>/dev/null | head -50
File Types & Locations:
| Type | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Project root | ./CLAUDE.md |
Primary project context (checked into git, shared with team) |
| Local overrides | ./.claude.local.md |
Personal/local settings (gitignored, not shared) |
| Global defaults | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md |
User-wide defaults across all projects |
| Package-specific | ./packages/*/CLAUDE.md |
Module-level context in monorepos |
| Subdirectory | Any nested location | Feature/domain-specific context |
Note: Claude auto-discovers CLAUDE.md files in parent directories, making monorepo setups work automatically.
Phase 2: Quality Assessment
For each CLAUDE.md file, evaluate against quality criteria. See references/quality-criteria.md for detailed rubrics.
Quick Assessment Checklist:
| Criterion | Weight | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Commands/workflows documented | High | Are build/test/deploy commands present? |
| Architecture clarity | High | Can Claude understand the codebase structure? |
| Non-obvious patterns | Medium | Are gotchas and quirks documented? |
| Conciseness | Medium | No verbose explanations or obvious info? |
| Currency | High | Does it reflect current codebase state? |
| Actionability | High | Are instructions executable, not vague? |
Quality Scores:
- A (90-100): Comprehensive, current, actionable
- B (70-89): Good coverage, minor gaps
- C (50-69): Basic info, missing key sections
- D (30-49): Sparse or outdated
- F (0-29): Missing or severely outdated
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-md-improver is a skill published in the GitHub repository thevibeworks/claude-code-docs (156 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,482 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to claude-md-improver, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

atlas-report
Render agent findings as a styled HTML report in the browser. Use when asked for "full report", "detailed report", "show in browser", or when CLI output exceeds the 40-line budget.
atlas-map
Map the system architecture — read the codebase, identify services and connections, output a C4-level architecture map as Mermaid diagrams with component descriptions. Use when asked to "map the architecture", "system diagram", "how does this work", or "architecture overview".
sync
Synchronize task files and source-of-truth documents. Update NEXT-TASKS.md, FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md, README, and CHANGELOG to reflect current project state.
validate
Run the full quality gate — tests, lint, build, and cortex-tms validate --strict.
adding-config-fields
Patterns for adding, renaming, removing, or retyping fields in DorkOS user config. Use when editing UserConfigSchema, MarketplacesFileSchema, or any conf-backed store — walks the Zod field → defaults → conf migration → docs → test lifecycle end-to-end.
