frontmcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

frontmcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from agentfront/frontmcp. It costs 6,478 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project guidance for FrontMCP, an Nx monorepo—a single repository that manages multiple TypeScript libraries—plus its Mintlify documentation site and installed skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing FrontMCP libraries, adding documentation, working with the @frontmcp packages, or following the repository's skill and layout conventions.
Why use it?
It prevents documentation pages and links from being placed under the wrong URL and directs developers to relevant skill guidance before coding.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is agentfront/frontmcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on frontmcp 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 frontmcp configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { AnyResourceRecord } from '../common/records';.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to agentfront/frontmcp. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

frontmcp 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 15d 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.

Skills and Tools

Auto-generated by frontmcp skills install (v1.8.6) — do not edit manually.

This project uses FrontMCP skills installed in .claude/skills/. Before writing code, search the installed skills for relevant guidance:

When you need to implement something, read the matching skill first — it contains patterns, examples, and common mistakes to avoid.

Documentation

FrontMCP's docs are at https://frontmcp.dev, built from the private agentfront/frontmcp.dev repository. This repo has no docs site: don't add one, and link to frontmcp.dev pages (https://frontmcp.dev/reference/..., https://frontmcp.dev/learn/...), never to docs.agentfront.dev for FrontMCP.

  • The skills catalog (libs/skills/catalog) is the documentation that ships with FrontMCP. A behavior change updates it in the same PR: see .claude/rules/skills-catalog-sync.md.
  • A PR that changes what users see (an API, option, default, error code or message, CLI flag or output) fills in the "User-facing change" section of .github/pull_request_template.md. frontmcp.dev's pass for each release reads it.

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.
