flow: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

flow CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from AixleHQ/flow. It costs 1,631 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for developers and coding agents working on AixleHQ/flow. They describe documentation upkeep, Docker-based checks, and requirements before publishing changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for updating the documentation index, running Rails and frontend checks inside Docker, and deciding when a branch or pull request is ready.
Why use it?
They reduce missed documentation updates and prevent changes from being pushed without the full local check suite passing.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

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

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

flow 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 19d 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.

Documentation index

docs/index.md is the index of all architecture/design/research docs. Whenever you add, remove, or move a document under docs/, update docs/index.md in the same change.

Before pushing a branch or opening/updating a PR

before push final results to repo - run the full check suite in Docker first, and only push once it is green:

docker compose exec -T web make check_all

check_all mirrors CI in a single pass and never short-circuits — it captures each result and prints a summary of all failures:

  • Backend: rails test, rubocop, brakeman
  • Frontend: eslint, typescript (tsc), fsd (Feature-Sliced Design check via steiger), vitest

(CI splits this into parallel jobs — lint, system, sharded Rails and Vitest, merged coverage; check_all covers all of it locally.) Don't push a branch or open/update a PR until check_all is green — it catches what a partial, hand-picked test run misses.

Docker is required

NEVER run ruby, bundle, rails, rake, or any gem/node-dependent command directly on the host. This rule applies to Claude itself AND to every subagent Claude spawns — include it explicitly in every subagent prompt.

Rails, tests, and migrations run only inside the web container — the host has no bundled gems, and its node_modules is Linux-built (native bindings fail on the host). If the container isn't running: docker compose up -d.

  • Backend tests: docker compose exec -T web bin/rails test <files>
  • Frontend tests: docker compose exec -T web ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run <files> (npx is not on the container PATH)
  • Full suite before push: docker compose exec -T web make check_all

Never run two backend test invocations at the same time (including from another agent session or a git worktree that shares a Postgres — overlapping runs corrupt each other's aixle_test and the per-worker databases). make-driven runs are flock-serialized; direct bin/rails test runs are not — check nothing else is running first.

Changes

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.
