CopyCat CLAUDE.md

CopyCat CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from andyhtran/CopyCat. It costs 232 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for CopyCat, a macOS application written in Swift and built from the command line with Swift Package Manager. It documents development, release, cleanup, permission-reset, and icon-generation commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building and installing CopyCat, cleaning its build files, resetting macOS accessibility permissions, publishing releases, and regenerating app icons.
Why use it?
It records the project's exact build and release procedures, reducing mistakes when maintaining or shipping the app.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

CopyCat 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

CopyCat

CLI-only — no Xcode. All builds use swift build via SPM. Use just as the task runner.

  • macOS 14.0+, Swift 6.2+ (hot key teardown uses isolated deinit, non-experimental only from 6.2)
just dev          # Kill, build, sign, install to /Applications/CopyCat Dev.app, launch
just clean        # Remove build artifacts
just reset-grants # Wipe Accessibility grants

Releasing

Bump MARKETING_VERSION in version.env, push to main, then just publish — signs, notarizes, creates a GitHub release, and updates the Homebrew tap.

Icons

Canonical sources are Icons/AppIcon.svg and Icons/MenuBarIcon.svg. Regenerate Resources/AppIcon.icns and Resources/MenuBarIcon.pdf via bash Scripts/build-icons.sh.

MenuBarIcon.svg ships as a template image (solid black on transparent only) — don't add fills, gradients, or non-alpha effects.

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.
