programmator: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

programmator CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from alexander-akhmetov/programmator. It costs 479 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Programmator, a Go application that runs coding agents and processes work sources such as plans or tickets. They define how to build, test, format, lint, and organize the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the Go project, running tests or the race detector, checking security and dead code, formatting files, or locating its orchestration, parser, prompt, and review packages.
Why use it?
They give contributors consistent commands and conventions, reducing confusion about package locations, tests, dependencies, and required checks.

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

programmator 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 2mo 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.

Build & Test

go build ./...              # Build
go test ./...               # All tests
go test ./internal/parser   # Single package
go test -race ./...         # Race detector (CI uses this)
make lint                   # golangci-lint + govulncheck + deadcode + go mod tidy
make fmt                    # Auto-fix formatting

Code Conventions

  • Tests use stretchr/testify. Prefer test cases pattern to reuse setup and verification.
  • Dependencies vendored in vendor/.
  • CI runs go test -race and golangci-lint.

Package Layout

Entry: cmd/programmator/main.go → internal/cli/ → internal/loop/loop.go

  • internal/loop/ — main orchestration loop
  • internal/llm/ — executor interface and shared utilities; sub-packages claude/, pi/, opencode/, codex/ for each executor; executor/ factory
  • internal/source/ — work source abstraction (PlanSource, TicketSource), auto-detection in detect.go
  • internal/review/ — multi-agent review pipeline, parallel execution, validators
  • internal/parser/ — PROGRAMMATOR_STATUS YAML extraction from executor output
  • internal/prompt/ — Go text/template prompt builder with embedded/global/local fallback
  • internal/config/ — YAML config with multi-level merge; defaults in internal/config/defaults/
  • internal/domain/ — core types (WorkItem, Phase)
  • internal/protocol/ — cross-package constants (status values, source types)
  • internal/event/ — typed event system for loop ↔ CLI communication
  • internal/safety/ — exit conditions (max iterations, stagnation, error repetition)
  • internal/git/ — git operations wrapper for auto-commit workflow
  • internal/dirs/ — XDG paths (ConfigDir, StateDir, LogsDir)
  • internal/ticket/ — external ticket CLI wrapper; mock in client_mock.go
  • internal/plan/ — plan file parser with checkbox tasks and validation commands
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.
