alunduil-chezmoi: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

alunduil-chezmoi CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from alunduil/alunduil-chezmoi. It costs 988 tokens per session, scanned A, original, 0BSD.

Repository instructions for a chezmoi configuration, a tool that manages files deployed to a user's home directory. They explain source and applied files, bootstrap scripts, ordering, and project rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing chezmoi-managed dotfiles, installation scripts, templates, or documentation in the alunduil-chezmoi repository.
Why use it?
They help an coding agent avoid editing the wrong copy or breaking repeatable setup scripts. They also clarify how to preview changes and keep machine configuration consistent.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is alunduil/alunduil-chezmoi's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on alunduil-chezmoi 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 alunduil-chezmoi 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

alunduil-chezmoi 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

alunduil-chezmoi

Chezmoi source directory. Files deploy to $HOME via chezmoi apply; names follow chezmoi rules (dot_ → ., executable_ → +x, .tmpl → Go template, .chezmoiscripts/run_*_before_NN-… → ordered convergent bootstrap). docs/tutorials/bootstrap.md has the bootstrap walkthrough; docs/explanation/architecture.md has the human-facing rationale; docs/reference/bootstrap-reference.md has the lookup tables.

Source vs. apply path

chezmoi diff/apply read the applied clone at ~/.local/share/chezmoi, not this working tree. Edits here don't take effect on apply until committed and pulled into the apply clone. Use chezmoi diff --source-path . to preview from this checkout.

Invariants

  • Bootstrap passes in .chezmoiscripts/ converge on host state. Read docs/reference/bootstrap-reference.md before adding a pass, a tool, or a guard, or changing a pass's prefix, phase, or number.
  • The shellcheck hook reads .sh.tmpl files unrendered, so a {{ … }} expression must sit inside quotes or a comment. That is why the package lists arrive via read -ra <<<'{{ … }}' rather than an array literal.
  • Pinned tools live in dot_config/mise/config.toml. After editing it, run just lock-tools and commit mise.lock with the npm sidecars under dot_config/mise/.mise/locks/. chezmoi skips that dot-directory, so symlink_dot_mise.tmpl points ~/.config/mise/.mise at it in the source tree.
  • Write a version pinned inside a URL (the zellij plugins block) out in full and leave it unannotated: Renovate bumps every copy of it.
  • Every *_VERSION pin carries a # renovate: datasource=… depName=… line directly above it (order: datasource, depName, packageName, versioning, extractVersion). One generic manager in renovate.json reads them all — a new pinned tool needs no Renovate config change. An unannotated pin is invisible to Renovate rather than an error, so script/checks/renovate-pins (a prek hook) fails the build on one.
  • The repo requires every action pinned to a full-length SHA, including the actions a third-party action calls. Renovate's digest pinning stops at our own uses: line. Before adopting or bumping a third-party action, read its action.yml at the new SHA and confirm every uses: under runs.steps is a full-length SHA.
  • dot_local/bin/executable_gh shadows system gh to enforce --draft on gh pr create. PRs Claude opens go through this wrapper.

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.
