Why use it?
They tell coding agents which workflow, tools, and compatibility rules to follow when changing the project.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is anam-org/metaxy's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on metaxy 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 metaxy 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

metaxy 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.

CLAUDE.md

Agent Workflow

Start each task with the planner agent. Use python-dev to write code, python-test-engineer to write tests. Iterate until qa is satisfied.

Python Code Standards

Always invoke the /dignified-python skill before writing or reviewing Python code. This skill enforces LBYL exception handling, modern type syntax, pathlib usage, and other project standards.

Project Status

Active Development - Stable Public API

The project has users. APIs marked with @public cannot have breaking changes between minor releases. Non-public internals can be refactored freely. Deprecated APIs must be preserved until a minor release.

Communication

Use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English when you communicate with the user. Use short sentences, active voice, and consistent terms. Keep code identifiers, API names, and quoted source text exact. State the result and any limits clearly.

Project Overview

Metaxy is a feature metadata management system for multimodal ML pipelines. It tracks feature versions, dependencies, and data lineage with declarative definitions, automatic change detection, and smart migrations.

Commands

just sync        # Install all dependencies
just ruff        # Lint and format
just typecheck   # Type check with ty
uv run pytest    # Run tests (add -k "pattern" to filter)

Guardrails

Git commits: Do not create commits unless explicitly requested. When asked to commit, follow standard git workflow.

Tests:

  • Always add or update tests when modifying features. Run uv run pytest tests/path/to/test.py to verify changes before considering work complete.
  • Never run the full test suite unless instructed. Only run relevant tests by filtering with -k "pattern", specific files or specific tests uv run pytest tests/test_migrations.py::test_migration_generation
  • Use uv run pytest --tach to automatically skip tests unaffected by your changes (uses tach's module dependency graph). Prefer this over running the full suite.
  • Always use fixtures to setup data and common values. Always request fixtures with appropriate type annotations.

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.
