.context: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

.context CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from andrefigueira/.context. It costs 568 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for configuring Claude Code in a repository. It defines always-loaded project rules, path-specific rules, and additional guidance that can be loaded when a task needs more depth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide Claude Code across API, authentication, database, user-interface, and SEO-related files, with rules selected by file path.
Why use it?
It keeps coding guidance organized so agents load the rules relevant to the files they change. It also helps keep CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md aligned with the repository's .context/ documentation.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

.context 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 9d 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 Code Configuration

This repo teaches the .context method: documentation-as-code-as-context, tuned to measured LLM behavior. See .context/research.md for the evidence.

Always loaded (Tier 1)

  • .context/ai-rules.md: project-wide hard constraints
  • .context/glossary.md: terminology. Do not invent synonyms

Path-scoped rules (load when touching matching files)

This table is the source of truth. AGENTS.md mirrors it. Keep them in sync.

When a file matches multiple rows, load every matching rule file. Pages matching both ui.md (component rules) and seo.md (metadata, structured data) is intentional.

Touching Load
src/api/**, src/routes/**, src/handlers/**, app/api/** .claude/rules/api.md
src/auth/**, src/middleware/auth*, src/security/** .claude/rules/auth.md
src/models/**, src/db/**, src/repositories/**, migrations/**, *.sql .claude/rules/database.md
src/components/**, app/** (non-page), *.tsx, *.jsx, *.vue, *.svelte .claude/rules/ui.md
src/app/**/page.*, src/pages/**, public/sitemap*, public/robots*, src/head/** .claude/rules/seo.md
**/*.test.*, **/*.spec.*, tests/**, __tests__/** .claude/rules/testing.md

On-demand (Tier 2, load when the task asks for depth)

  • Boundaries (what requires human review) → .context/boundaries.md
  • Anti-patterns → .context/anti-patterns.md
  • Tech debt register → .context/debt.md
  • ADRs → .context/decisions/README.md
  • Pre-built task prompts → .context/prompts/

Non-negotiables

  • When making an architectural decision, update the relevant file in the same change
  • Do not compound items listed in .context/debt.md
  • For files listed in .context/boundaries.md, propose a diff instead of editing

Why it is shaped this way

Long prompts hurt accuracy (13-85%). Models reliably follow ~150-200 instructions, not more. Middle-of-document content is ignored. Path-scoped rules cut rule-token usage per turn sharply because most rules are inactive for most tasks. Details in .context/research.md.

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.
