CLAUDE.md

sample-agent-assisted-sdlc CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from aws-samples/sample-agent-assisted-sdlc. It costs 2,945 tokens per session, scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file describing an agent-assisted software development project built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. It documents commands, the cloud architecture, source directories, configuration, and development conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as repository guidance when installing dependencies, testing, synthesising or deploying infrastructure, and locating stacks, assistants, and developer tools.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific context so they can use the right commands, understand the system's components, and follow repository conventions.

This is aws-samples/sample-agent-assisted-sdlc's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sample-agent-assisted-sdlc itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

About the project

Agent-Assisted SDLC is a sample software development pipeline in which an AI coding assistant reads an issue, changes a codebase, and opens a pull request through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Developers use it to automate work from an issue to a proposed code change, with a shared orchestration process and repository-specific guidance. The catalogue entries provide the skills, agents, plugin, hook, and instruction used by this workflow.

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 C, and why

sample-agent-assisted-sdlc CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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 5d 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.

Commands

npm install                          # Install CDK dependencies
npx cdk synth --quiet                # Validate TypeScript + cdk-nag (run before every commit)
npx cdk deploy --all                 # Deploy all stacks
npx cdk deploy {project}-assistant   # Deploy just the coding assistant stack
npx cdk ls                           # List stacks
npm test                             # Jest snapshot tests

Architecture

6 CDK stacks deployed in order: Infra → SourceControl → ProjectManagement → DeveloperMcp → Gateway → Assistant. Config in sdlc-config.yaml (copy from sdlc-config.template.yaml). Stack names prefixed with project: field from config.

Key paths:

  • lib/nested/*-stack.ts — stack definitions
  • lib/constructs/ — reusable CDK constructs
  • lib/config.ts — config schema + getAssistantDir() mapping
  • coding-assistants/{claude-code,kiro,codex}/ — container images + plugins
  • project-management/shared/assistants/ — per-assistant invocation strategies
  • gateway/developer-mcp-servers/ — developer tool MCP servers (FastMCP)

  • CDK constructs use cdk-nag (AWS Solutions checks). Suppress with NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions() and a justification string.
  • Python formatting: no specific formatter enforced. Follow existing style in each file. ruff check must pass.
  • TypeScript: strict mode, no implicit any.
  • Dockerfiles: pin all dependencies (pip install pkg==x.y.z, npm install -g [email protected], git clone --branch vX.Y.Z).
  • MCP servers use FastMCP with streamable-http transport on port 8000.
  • Health servers use FastAPI on port 8080 (/ping, /health, /invocations).
  • Python logging: never call print(). Import get_logger from shared/log.py (or the runtime-local duplicate) and emit structured records. Use %-style messages (logger.info("event %s", value)); pass structured fields via extra={...}. The canonical secret-redaction helper is redact() from shared/log.py. Process-boundary catch-alls (Lambda handler, FastMCP tools) use logger.exception and return a structured error; everything else raises a named exception (WorkspaceSetupError, RuntimeCommandError, TokenError — see shared/errors.py).
  • Runtime images that build with s3_assets.Asset({path: <runtime-dir>}) carry a duplicate log.py in the runtime directory. The canonical file is project-management/shared/log.py; each duplicate has a "DUPLICATE OF — keep in sync" banner at the top.

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.
