aura-tracker-gcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

aura-tracker-gcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from asbrodova/aura-tracker-gcp. It costs 2,798 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository-specific instruction file for aura-tracker-gcp, a Go project that connects to Google Cloud Platform and provides tools through MCP, a standard way for applications to expose actions to AI assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying aura-tracker-gcp to run the required Go checks, preserve the separation between MCP code and Google Cloud code, and test individual packages or tools.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project’s required build, test, architecture, and verification rules so changes fit the repository.

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

aura-tracker-gcp 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.

Architecture

Hexagonal Architecture. The hexagon boundary is ports/gcp_service.go.

cmd/  ──►  internal/mcp/  ──►  ports/GCPService
cmd/  ──►  internal/gcp/  ──►  ports/GCPService
internal/gcp/  ──►  GCP SDK
internal/mcp/  NEVER imports internal/gcp/

go build ./internal/mcp/... compiles zero GCP SDK code.

Application-layer engines live between MCP and the port: internal/diagnostics for incidents, internal/costreasoning for cost explanations, internal/securityaudit for deterministic security posture findings and scoring, internal/diagram for architecture scoping and deterministic rendering, and internal/drift for symmetric cross-environment configuration comparison. They depend on narrow interfaces satisfied by ports.GCPService and never import GCP SDK packages.

Environment Variables

Variable Required Description
GCP_PROJECT_ID Yes* Legacy single-project setting. Omit when using YAML environments or GCP_ENVIRONMENTS_JSON.
GCP_ENVIRONMENTS_JSON No JSON array of {project_id, alias, default} entries. Multiple entries require aliases and exactly one default.
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS No Service account key path (optional with ADC)
ANONYMIZE_ENABLED No Set true to enable PII scrubbing on all tool outputs (overrides YAML enabled)
ANONYMIZE_CONFIG_PATH No Path to YAML config file for the anonymization engine
ANONYMIZE_PROJECT_ID No Masks an unaliased project as [GCP_PROJECT_ID]. Configured aliases are always enforced on MCP output.
RECOMMENDER_ENABLED No Set false to disable Cloud Recommender API integration. On by default. Enriches Aura Scores with idle/overprovisioned signals; 12h cache prevents quota exhaustion.
RECOMMENDER_BQ_EXPORT_ENABLED No Set true to enable the gcp_export_recommendations_to_bq MCP tool. Off by default.
RECOMMENDER_BQ_EXPORT_DATASET No BigQuery dataset name for the recommendations export (overrides recommender_export.dataset in YAML).
COST_REASONING_ENABLED No Set true to register the read-only gcp_cost_explain tool. Off by default.
COST_REASONING_SOURCES_JSON No Strict JSON array mapping configured environments to query/export projects and billing datasets. Mutually exclusive with YAML sources and legacy source settings.
COST_QUERY_PROJECT_ID No Project that owns BigQuery query jobs. Defaults to GCP_PROJECT_ID.
BILLING_EXPORT_PROJECT_ID No Project containing the detailed billing export. Defaults to the query project.
BILLING_EXPORT_DATASET Cost only Required dataset containing gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_*.
BILLING_EXPORT_TABLE No Optional exact detailed billing table; otherwise the sole matching table is discovered.
COST_REASONING_TIMEZONE No IANA timezone for complete-day comparisons. Default UTC.
COST_REASONING_HISTORY_DAYS No Billing history window, 14–366 days. Default 90.
COST_QUERY_MAX_BYTES No Per-statement BigQuery bytes-billed ceiling. Default 5 GiB.
GRAPHVIZ_DOT_PATH No Path to Graphviz dot for SVG architecture diagrams. Mermaid and Graphviz DOT source do not require it.

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.
