In plain words

Why use it?
It tells the coding agent what to read first, how the repository is organised, and which rules must not be broken.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is bawbel/scanner's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on scanner 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 scanner configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is # WRONG — user can pass ../../etc/passwd.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to bawbel/scanner. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

scanner CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

# How: urllib.request with 10s timeout, reads up to MAX_CONTENT_BYTES

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Never `eval()`, `exec()`, `subprocess.run(shell=True)`,

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 561 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bawbel Scanner — CLAUDE.md

Read first: PROJECT_CONTEXT.md — business, product, and founder context. Then read: this file — code conventions and hard rules. Then read: .claude/<topic>.md — detailed guidance for specific tasks.

When working on any task, also check .claude/skills/ for reusable task-specific instructions (security review, adding rules, writing tests, etc.)

.claude/ is gitignored (.gitignore), so the .claude/ files named in this document are local to the maintainer and are not in the repository.

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.
