CLAUDE.md

local-lens CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from aotakeda/local-lens. It costs 1,324 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Local Lens, a local development-monitoring tool that captures browser and server logs for analysis. The project includes a Chrome extension, a command-line log-capture tool, a local server, and a SQLite database, with the parts managed in a monorepo—a repository containing multiple related projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing or reviewing Local Lens, especially its browser monitoring, backend log capture, local HTTP/MCP server, SQLite storage, or related subprojects.
Why use it?
They give an coding agent the project's structure and key components so it can work consistently across the extension, command-line tool, server, and database.

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

local-lens CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Project Overview

Local Lens is a comprehensive 100% local development monitoring tool that captures both browser and server logs for LLM analysis. It consists of a Chrome extension for browser monitoring, a CLI tool for universal backend log capture, and an HTTP/MCP server for data access. The system is completely local with no external connections.

Architecture

High-Level Structure

  • Chrome Extension: Manifest v3 extension with service worker and content scripts for browser monitoring
  • CLI Tool: Universal process wrapper for backend log capture (any framework)
  • Local Server: HTTP/MCP server running on fixed port 27497
  • SQLite Database: Local persistence with intelligent filtering and circular buffer (10k entries)
  • Monorepo: Root workspace managing server, extension, and CLI subprojects

Key Components

  • cli/: Universal CLI tool for server log capture from any backend framework
  • extension/: Chrome extension with background service worker and dual content scripts
  • server/: Node.js/Express server with MCP integration and SQLite storage
  • server/src/storage/: Database layer with LogStorage class and schema management
  • server/src/mcp/: MCP server implementation for AI assistant access
  • server/src/routes/: HTTP API endpoints for log retrieval and filtering

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.
