kotlin-app-template: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

kotlin-app-template CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ashtanko/kotlin-app-template. It costs 1,210 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository instruction file for a Kotlin/JVM starter project. Kotlin is a programming language, and the JVM is the environment commonly used to run Java and Kotlin programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a Kotlin project, renaming its package and application, following its coding rules, and running its tests and checks.
Why use it?
It explains that the repository is a reusable template with example code, build settings, tests, code checks, and continuous integration already prepared.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is ashtanko/kotlin-app-template's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kotlin-app-template 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 kotlin-app-template 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

kotlin-app-template 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this repo is

This is a GitHub template for bootstrapping Kotlin/JVM projects, not a product. The code under src/main/kotlin/dev/shtanko/template/ (Calculator, DataProcessor, DivideByZeroException) is placeholder/example code that demonstrates the toolchain — expect it to be replaced. The value of the repo is the preconfigured build, static-analysis, testing, and CI setup. When customizing for a real project, scripts/rename-project.sh -n <name> -p <package> rewrites the project name, Kotlin package, and application.mainClass throughout the repo (--dry-run to preview).

AGENTS.md is the canonical entry point for coding conventions and delegates to .agents/.agents/reference/coding-conventions.md and .agents/reference/testing.md hold the naming/null-safety/SOLID/testing rules, and .agents/skills/ holds deep, portable procedures (coroutine scope ownership, Flow primitive choice, branching, function ownership, value classes). Consult those rather than re-deriving style rules, and don't duplicate that content here — this file owns how the repo operates (build, tooling, CI), AGENTS.md/.agents/ own how to write the code.

Common commands

./gradlew build                 # compile + run tests
./gradlew run                   # run the app (main: dev.shtanko.template.ApplicationKt)
make test                       # run the test suite (= ./gradlew test)
make check                      # spotlessApply + spotlessCheck + detekt + ktlintCheck + diktatCheck
./gradlew spotlessApply         # auto-format and apply license headers (run before committing)
./gradlew pitest                # mutation testing

Run a single test class or method (standard Gradle test filtering):

./gradlew test --tests "dev.shtanko.template.ExampleTest"
./gradlew test --tests "dev.shtanko.template.ExampleTest.should return true when input is valid"

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.
