darkflow: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

darkflow CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from alifanov/darkflow. It costs 1,569 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Dark Flow, a workflow installer for AI-assisted development projects. They document local operation, Docker Compose shortcuts, database and Prisma work, and rules for restarting its background worker.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when running Dark Flow locally, working with its web app or database, reloading the worker, or troubleshooting its development setup.
Why use it?
They prevent an agent from starting the worker in the wrong environment and provide project-specific commands and operating rules.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is alifanov/darkflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on darkflow 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 darkflow 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

darkflow 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.

CLAUDE.md — Dark Flow

Dark Flow is a workflow installer for AI-assisted development projects.

Never start, restart, or relaunch the global worker yourself — always ask the user to do it from their own terminal. The worker's claude/codex engine authenticates from the user's interactive/login session (keychain / env credentials that a Claude Code session does not have). A worker you launch inherits your credential-less environment, so every routine fails with Not logged in · Please run /login until the user relaunches it themselves. This holds even for launchctl bootstrap/kickstart — loading a launchd agent still needs to happen from the user's own session for keychain access to work. A running worker also holds the old script in memory, so after a self-update tell the user to restart it:

# the USER runs this in their own terminal:
make reload           # (re)starts the worker under launchd; the webapp does NOT run under launchd
make web              # runs the webapp interactively (required for the cmux launch buttons)
# or, if the worker is still a bare background process (pre-launchd):
pkill -f ~/.darkflow/darkflow-run.sh
nohup /usr/local/bin/bash ~/.darkflow/darkflow-run.sh >/dev/null 2>> ~/.darkflow/worker.err.log &

The webapp must run in the user's interactive session (make web), not launchd: cmux's control socket rejects launchd-detached processes ("Broken pipe"), so the "Open in cmux" buttons would silently create no workspace. Same keychain/session reason as the worker. Stopping/killing the worker on request is fine (no credentials needed). Starting or restarting it is always the user's action — do not run it for them, not even in the background, not even when explicitly asked to "restart it"; instead, print the command above and ask them to run it.

A restart is only needed when the worker's own script changes. Config edits — routine cron, model, enabled — take effect on the next tick without one: each tick set_project() re-fetches /api/projects/by-repo into .darkflow.d/state/config.json, so schedules are never cached in memory. Don't ask the user to reload after a schedule change.

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.
