arch-viewer CLAUDE.md

arch-viewer CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from axumquant/arch-viewer. It costs 454 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for arch-viewer, a tool that examines a codebase’s structure and displays it in an interactive dashboard. It analyzes functions, classes, imports, dependencies, code quality, and maintainability in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when analyzing a repository’s architecture, finding dependency relationships or structural problems, checking project health, or working with the arch-viewer dashboard.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project’s architecture, important modules, commands, and conventions so it can work on the codebase without guessing.

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

arch-viewer 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

arch-viewer

MCP-native architecture viewer with AI-powered codebase analysis, AST parsing, architecture scoring, dependency graphs, and interactive dashboard.

Architecture

  • Python package (arch_viewer/) — MCP server with 17 tools, AI agent (pydantic-ai), AST analyzer, scoring engine, dependency graph builder, aiohttp web server
  • Node.js server (src/) — Zero-dep express dashboard with WebSocket file watching (subset of Python features)
  • Web dashboard (web/index.html) — Single-file enhanced dashboard with settings modal for API keys + model selection

Key Modules

  • ast_analyzer.py — Python AST via ast module, JS/TS via regex heuristics. Extracts functions, classes, imports, exports, cyclomatic complexity.
  • scoring.py — 0-100 health score across 4 categories (Modularity, Code Quality, Maintainability, Structure). Anti-pattern detection.
  • dep_graph.py — Builds import/call/package/component graphs. Hotspot analysis, isolated node detection.
  • agent.py — pydantic-ai agent with 4 providers (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq). API keys in .arch-viewer.keys.json.
  • mcp_server.py — 17 MCP tools. MCP mode is default (no --mcp flag).
  • scanner.py — Static scanner. Component detection, route extraction, dependency collection.

Commands

# Node.js dashboard
npm start                    # http://localhost:3777

# Python MCP server (full features)
python -m arch_viewer        # MCP + dashboard
python -m arch_viewer --web  # dashboard only
python -m arch_viewer --scan # JSON output

Provider priority

ollama > openai > anthropic > groq (auto-detected from available keys)

Conventions

  • Online providers only — no local model support
  • API keys stored in .arch-viewer.keys.json (gitignored)
  • Python 3.11+, Node 18+
  • Ruff for Python linting (line-length 100)
Changes

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.
