aci: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

aci CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from aipotheosis-labs/aci. It costs 1,270 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for ACI.dev, a platform that gives AI agents access to hundreds of external services. The project is a monorepo, meaning one repository contains its backend and frontend, and uses PostgreSQL for stored data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing ACI.dev's Python backend, Next.js developer portal, integrations, local services, or PostgreSQL setup.
Why use it?
They explain the repository layout and the commands needed to start services, prepare data, and manage database changes. This helps an agent work in the correct application layer.

About the project

ACI.dev is an open-source platform that lets AI agents call tools and services through direct functions or a shared MCP server. It is used to connect agents and agentic coding environments with services such as Google Calendar and Slack, while the catalogue entry provides an instruction for working with it.

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

aci 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 9d 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.

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

Project Overview

ACI.dev is an open-source tool-calling platform providing 600+ integrations for AI agents. It serves as infrastructure for Unified MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and VibeOps automated DevOps workflows. The platform handles multi-tenant authentication, granular permissions, and dynamic tool discovery.

Repository Structure

This is a monorepo with two main components:

  • backend/ - FastAPI server with 600+ integrations (Python 3.12+, PostgreSQL, uv package manager)
  • frontend/ - Next.js 15 developer portal (React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui)

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.
