navi CLAUDE.md

navi CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Affirm/navi. It costs 506 tokens per session, scanned D, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Instructions for Navi, a floating macOS app that monitors Claude Code sessions. It shows completed sessions and permission requests and lets users approve or deny them from one window.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up Navi by downloading and verifying its app release, launching it, and explaining how its plugin hooks start it during future events.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to switch between terminal windows to watch sessions or respond to permission prompts.

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

navi 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 3d 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.

**If the user wants manual-launch only**, also add `NAVI_NO_AUTO_LAUNCH` to the `env` section of `~/.claude/settings.json`:

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Navi is a floating macOS window that monitors all your Claude Code sessions. It shows which sessions have finished, which need permission approvals, and lets you approve/deny permissions without switching terminals.

Navi is a Claude Code plugin. Hooks are defined in hooks/hooks.json and registered automatically when the plugin is installed.

This file contains instructions for Claude Code agents. For human contributor guidance (dev setup, architecture, feature flag system, how to add features), see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Setup Instructions

When the user asks to "set up Navi", "install Navi", or similar:

Before running any commands, tell the user what you're about to do (download and verify the published Navi.app release, then launch it — hooks are handled by the plugin system) and use the AskUserQuestion tool with Yes/No options to confirm before proceeding.

  1. Install the app (downloads and verifies the release artifact for the version in plugin.json):

    bash build.sh
    
  2. Launch the app:

    open Navi.app
    
  3. Confirm to the user that Navi is installed. It will auto-launch on future hook events even if closed.

If the user wants manual-launch only, also add NAVI_NO_AUTO_LAUNCH to the env section of ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "NAVI_NO_AUTO_LAUNCH": "1"
  }
}

With this set, events are still written to /tmp/navi/events/ and will be picked up when the user manually runs open Navi.app.

Removal Instructions

When the user asks to "remove Navi", "uninstall Navi", or similar:

Before running any commands, tell the user what you're about to do (kill the running app and clean up temp files) and use the AskUserQuestion tool with Yes/No options to confirm before proceeding.

  1. Kill the running app:

    pkill -x Navi 2>/dev/null
    
  2. Clean up temp files:

    rm -rf /tmp/navi

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.
