About the project

ClawDEA is an IntelliJ plugin that integrates Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and compatible language models into the IDE as agentic coding assistants. It provides project documentation, code navigation, editing review, debugging, JVM profiling, and model-provider configuration without leaving IntelliJ IDEA. Its catalogue entries define agents and instructions for using ClawDEA's integrated workflows.

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

ClawDEA 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 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Build & Test

./gradlew compileKotlin                    # Fast compile check
./gradlew test                             # Unit tests (headless-safe subset)
./gradlew build -x buildSearchableOptions  # Full build; skip searchable options if IDE is running
./gradlew runIde                           # Launch sandboxed IDE with plugin loaded

buildSearchableOptions fails when IntelliJ is already running ("Only one instance of IDEA can be run at a time") — always pass -x buildSearchableOptions in that case.

The plugin zip lands in build/distributions/ClawDEA-<version>.zip.

Fixture-based tests (IndexQueryHandlerTest) are excluded from ./gradlew test because they hang headlessly — run those from the IDE test runner only.

Version is in gradle.properties (pluginVersion). Bump it there for releases.

Architecture

ClawDEA is an IntelliJ plugin that wraps the Claude Code CLI (claude) as a subprocess and exposes IntelliJ's indices back to Claude via a local MCP HTTP server.

Data flow

User ←→ ChatPanel (JCEF) ←→ CliBridge ←→ CliProcess (claude --output-format stream-json)
                                              ↕ MCP HTTP (127.0.0.1:random)
                                          McpServer → McpToolRouter → {Index, IDE, Context, EditReview} tools
  1. ChatPanel renders a JCEF browser, handles user input, slash commands, and streams CLI events into HTML.
  2. CliBridge owns the CliProcess lifecycle and exposes a SharedFlow<CliEvent>.
  3. CliProcess spawns claude in --output-format stream-json mode with --print-turn-events. It writes a temp MCP config file pointing the CLI at the local McpServer.
  4. CliEventParser parses NDJSON lines into a sealed CliEvent hierarchy (SystemInit, TextDelta, AssistantMessage, ToolUse, ToolResult, Result, AuthFailure, TaskEvent).
  5. McpServer is a project-level service (HttpServer on 127.0.0.1:0) that routes JSON-RPC requests through McpToolRouter to the tool groups: McpIndexTools (find files/symbols/usages/callers), McpSearchTextTool (literal/regex content search), McpIdeTools (diagnostics, resolve symbol), McpContextTool (project context), McpPrimerTool (project primer), McpWikiTools (docs/llm-wiki/ search + read), McpWorkspaceTools (sibling-repo navigation), McpEditReviewTools (propose_edit/propose_write/propose_multi_edit), McpDebugTools (21 debugger tools), McpPermissionPromptTool (tool-call approval gate).

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.
