a2ui: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

a2ui CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from a2uicatalog/a2ui. It costs 1,990 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an a2ui catalogue that uses project.yaml to declare deployments and processes, with ops.py carrying them out.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing schemas, prompts, renderer code, deployments, or commits in the a2ui catalogue.
Why use it?
They prevent improvised command sequences and require changes to follow declared, verifiable release procedures.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is a2uicatalog/a2ui's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on a2ui 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 a2ui 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

a2ui CLAUDE.md 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

a2ui-catalogue — Working Rules

Declarative-first repo. State, policy, and processes are declared in project.yaml; ops/ops.py executes them. Read project.yaml before operating — it is the inventory (deployments, script IDs, properties, staging policy, declared debt). Never carry identifiers in conversation memory when the manifest declares them.

Operations discipline

  • Every operation goes through a declared process: python3 ops/ops.py list → python3 ops/ops.py run <process>. If the operation you need isn't declared, DECLARE IT in project.yaml processes: first, then run it. Improvised command sequences (raw clasp push/clasp deploy, ad-hoc regeneration chains) are the failure mode this system exists to prevent.
  • After editing atoms/schema.yaml → ops.py run atom-change.
  • After editing spec/ or prompt contracts → ops.py run prompt-update (it bakes in the gemini_handoff cache bump — do not skip it).
  • Renderer code changes → ops.py run renderer-release (deploys in place to the public deployment from the manifest inventory).
  • Commits: python3 ops/ops.py commit "<message>" — stamps per the sync-window time mapping (09:00-11:59→08:00, 14:00-17:59→13:30, otherwise 13:00, Europe/Paris). Push: ops.py run repo-publish.
  • Every run logs to ops/log.jsonl (local tier) — check it before re-diagnosing something a previous run already recorded.

Publication boundaries (hard rules)

  • Nothing new is published to a2uicatalog.ai or any public surface without explicit per-artifact opt-in from Curtis. Publication is declared in project.yaml (policy.published, published_prompts) and enforced by tests/test_project_manifest.py.
  • Atoms carry stage: preview | stable (stable = default). Preview atoms are repo-only; all publication pipelines filter on the field (tests/test_staging.py enforces). Promotion = delete the stage line
    • ops.py run atom-change. New dev-first atoms START as preview.
  • Private tier (ops/, **/Code.private.gs, .clasp.json) must never be tracked — the manifest audit fails the build if it is.
  • Secrets live in Script Properties only (key names declared in project.yaml); never in code, payloads, or tracked files.

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.
