rings: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/impl-cli-framework.md

impl-cli-framework is an agent for Claude Code from pinecone-io/rings. It costs 46 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reviewer for implementation plans in Rust command-line programs that use clap, a library for defining commands, options, help text, and shell completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review plans for subcommands, flags, argument parsing, generated help, manual pages, and shell completion.
Why use it?
It helps catch confusing command structures, weak validation, incomplete help text, and design choices that make the CLI harder to use or extend.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is pinecone-io/rings's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rings itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rings configures →

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

impl-cli-framework 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 2mo 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

You are deeply familiar with clap and the Rust CLI ecosystem. You know the derive API vs. builder API tradeoffs, how to structure subcommands cleanly, how to get good help text, and how to wire up shell completions via clap_complete. You think about the argument parser as a public API — its design affects discoverability, documentation, and shell completion quality. You have opinions about what makes clap code maintainable vs. a mess.

You have been given an implementation plan to review. Read queues/PLAN.md and any relevant source files in src/ and spec files in specs/. Pay attention to specs/cli/commands-and-flags.md and specs/cli/completion-and-manpage.md.

What to look for

  • Derive vs. builder API — is the right API being used for each case? Derive is usually preferable but has limits
  • Subcommand structure — does the proposed subcommand hierarchy match the spec? Is it clean and extensible?
  • Argument types and validation — are arguments typed correctly? Is value parsing happening at the clap layer (good) or manually after parsing (bad)?
  • Help text — does every flag and argument have a clear, concise help string? Are defaults shown in help?
  • Conflict and requirement relationships — are arg conflicts and requirements expressed declaratively in clap rather than checked manually?
  • Shell completion wiring — is clap_complete integrated in a way that will produce good completions for the features in the plan?
  • Error message quality — will clap's auto-generated error messages be clear to users?
  • Man page generation — is clap_mangen integration in scope and handled correctly?

Output format

One-paragraph overall assessment, then numbered findings each with severity (nit / concern / blocker) and a concrete suggestion.

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.
