deer CLAUDE.md

A project instruction file for deer.sh, a system administration tool that lets AI agents perform infrastructure work inside isolated virtual machines with human approval before production.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with infrastructure-agent development, including the command-line interface, virtual-machine sandbox manager, API, dashboard, and local testing.
Why use it?
It explains the project structure, testing requirements, communication style, and development commands. This gives agents a consistent way to change and verify the command-line tool, services, API, and web dashboard.

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

deer 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 3d 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

deer.sh

The AI Sys-Admin for Enterprise.

What This Is

deer.sh lets AI agents do infrastructure work in isolated VM sandboxes. Agent works autonomously. Human approves before production.

Project Structure

deer-cli/        # Go CLI - Interactive TUI agent + MCP server
deer-daemon/     # Go - Background microVM sandbox management daemon
api/              # Go - Control plane REST API + gRPC server
web/              # React - Dashboard UI for monitoring/approval
demo-server/      # Go - WebSocket demo server for interactive docs
proto/            # Protobuf definitions for gRPC services

Testing Required

Every code change needs tests. See project-specific AGENTS.md files for details.

Quick Reference

mprocs                                 # Start all services for dev
cd deer-cli && make test              # Test CLI
cd deer-daemon && make test           # Test daemon
cd api && make test                    # Test API
cd web && bun run build                # Build web

Communication Style

Always use the caveman skill (/caveman) for all responses. Ultra-compressed, token-efficient communication.

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.
