CLAUDE.md

ralphy CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from alecs5am/ralphy. It costs 193 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Ralphy, a command-line tool that gives AI agents tools to create and manage video projects. They describe the code layout, development commands, tests, and where project data is stored.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for building and testing Ralphy, working with its command-line code, and handling project workspaces and portable workspace packages.
Why use it?
They help an agent work in the correct part of the repository and avoid treating temporary pointers or old control files as the real project data.

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

ralphy 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 1mo 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.

Repository orientation

This repository contains the agent-facing Ralphy CLI only. Marketing, public documentation, desktop UI, and unattended workflow automation live in separate companion repositories under the ralphy GitHub organization workspace.

  • cli/ — commands and runtime libraries.
  • docs/playbooks/ — operational playbooks loaded through AGENTS.md.
  • .agents/skills/ — agent-facing skill entry points.
  • .ralphy/ — gitignored local account workspaces, shared assets, projects, and units.

Use bun run ralphy -- <command> for in-tree development and bun test for verification.

Domain state is authoritative in SQLite under the explicit .ralphy data root. Do not treat registry/current-Workspace pointers or legacy control files as normal state; use explicit Workspace scope or an immutable Session. Use workspace.export and workspace.import for portable packages.

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.
