fieldtheory-cli CLAUDE.md

fieldtheory-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from afar1/fieldtheory-cli. It costs 610 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for Field Theory CLI, a local command-line program for synchronizing bookmarks from X and managing a personal library of saved notes. It describes the commands, stored data locations, build process, and main source files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, testing, running, or modifying Field Theory CLI features such as bookmark sync, search, classification, library workflows, and command installation.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project structure and data flow needed to make changes safely. It also explains where bookmarks, library files, portable commands, and idea artifacts are stored.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

fieldtheory-cli 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 4d 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 is the Field Theory CLI: a local-first command-line companion for X bookmark sync, Field Theory Library workflows, portable commands, app install, and agent-facing context.

Commands

npm run build        # Compile TypeScript to dist/
npm run dev          # Run via tsx directly
npm run test         # Run tests
npm run start        # Run compiled dist/cli.js

Architecture

Single CLI application built with Commander.js. Bookmark data is stored in ~/.fieldtheory/bookmarks/; Library markdown is stored in ~/.fieldtheory/library/; portable commands live under ~/.fieldtheory/commands/; and Possible run artifacts live under ~/.fieldtheory/ideas/.

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.
