# CLAUDE.md - Progressive-Disclosure Root TOC for `ace-step/ACE-Step` (<500 Tokens) [](https://pulse-forge.io/audit/ace-step/ACE-Step) > **Why <500 Tokens?** Frontier coding agents suffer instruction decay when root `CLAUDE.md` files exceed 800 tokens. Keep this root file as a strict Table of Contents and load scoped `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` modules only when editing matching paths. ## 1. Hard Context-Tree Pruning (Saves 19,957 Tokens/Turn | -58%) - **NEVER read, grep, or index**: `.venv/, __pycache__/, *.pyc, uv.lock, poetry.lock, .pytest_cache/, dist/, build/` - **Per-Turn Context Budget**: <= `14,451` tokens (Baseline unindexed: `34,408` tokens/turn). - **File Cap**: Keep every module < 1,000 lines; query symbol signatures before reading files > 250 lines. ## 2. Progressive-Disclosure Rule Modules (Load On-Demand) - `/.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc` -> Python module boundaries, schema validation (`Pydantic v2 TypeAdapter + Instructor/BAML strict JSON boundary validation`). - `/.cursor/rules/security-and-tests.mdc` -> Verification gate (`uv run pytest -q && ruff check .`), OWASP LLM01 & secret hygiene. - `/litellm-cost-router.yaml` -> 65% fast/local + 35% frontier KV-cache routing (saves `$232.85/mo`).
