aby-claude-watcher CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from aby-agency/aby-claude-watcher. It costs 17,953 tokens per session, scanned D, original, MIT.

Development instructions for an Electron desktop app that watches Claude Code sessions in real time. They describe its architecture, session states, development commands, and key design decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining the watcher, working on session discovery and state handling, changing the macOS interface, and building or testing the app.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent the project context needed to change the app safely, including its Node.js requirement and how its processes communicate.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PreToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is aby-agency/aby-claude-watcher's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on aby-claude-watcher 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 aby-claude-watcher 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 D, and why

aby-claude-watcher CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 2 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 12d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Aby Claude Watcher

Electron desktop app monitoring Claude Code sessions in real-time.

Dev

npm install
npm start        # production
npm run dev      # with devtools
npm run build    # DMG — REQUIERT Node ≥ 20.19 (cf. .nvmrc: 22)

Node ≥ 20.19 obligatoire pour npm install/npm run build. Depuis Electron 41.8+, son downloader @electron/get est passé en ESM pur : le postinstall require() casse (ERR_REQUIRE_ESM) sur Node < 20.19. nvm use lit le .nvmrc (Node 22). Le champ engines du package.json documente la contrainte.

PIÈGE build.files (liste blanche electron-builder). Tout nouveau module racine chargé par require('./x') DOIT être ajouté à build.files dans package.json, sinon npm run dev marche mais l'app installée plante au démarrage (« Cannot find module './x' », visible seulement dans main.log — DMG 2.13.0 cassé avant release, presence.js / bg-task.js oubliés). test/build-files.test.js vérifie la fermeture transitive depuis main.js.

Tickets et worktrees

  • Tickets : issues GitHub du dépôt (gabarit .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ticket.md, labels fermés epic:…, taille:XS|S|M|L|XL, bloqué, backlog). Une session = une issue, prise par assignation (gh issue edit N --add-assignee @me), branche ticket/N-slug, commits feat(#N): … / fix(#N): …, PR dont la description porte Closes #N, fusion quand les critères sont cochés. Lecture par gh filtré (--label, --state, --limit, --json), jamais sans filtre, jamais le serveur MCP GitHub.
  • Commits en français ; dates YYYY-MM-DD.
  • Worktrees : un par ticket, ~/Aby/.worktrees/aby-claude-watcher/<ticket> depuis origin/main, jamais à côté du dépôt ; retiré dès que la PR est fusionnée ou fermée ; six vivants au plus.

Règles non-négociables

  • Aucune signature Claude/AI dans le code, les commits, les PR (constitution Aby § 2).
  • Ne jamais renommer ou supprimer le cwd de la session Claude en cours (constitution § 2).
  • Pas de fallback silencieux : si une étape échoue, escalader (constitution § 2).
  • main doit toujours builder.
  • Critères de succès des tickets : binaires + mesurables + conditions d'arrêt. On coche, on ne « sent » pas.
  • Une demande d'Etienne donnée en conversation s'écrit dans l'issue, citée et datée, avant d'être codée ; on ne « rétablit » jamais un état disparu sans avoir vérifié qu'il ne vient pas d'une de ses demandes (issues, journal).
  • Les minutes d'intégration continue sont comptées (3 000 par mois pour tous les dépôts d'Aby Agency) : vérifications locales AVANT toute poussée, une poussée par lot cohérent, aucun rejeu réflexe d'un run rouge, et un commit qui ne touche que docs/ ou registres/ ne déclenche aucune chaîne (message terminé par [skip ci]).

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.
