Grove CLAUDE.md

Grove CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from bearlike/Grove. It costs 5,997 tokens per session, scanned D, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Grove, a tool that manages multiple Git worktrees. A worktree is a separate working folder connected to the same repository, allowing different coding tasks to be handled in isolation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Grove issues, choosing the correct project instructions, handling changes across worktrees, or preparing a pull request.
Why use it?
They define the expected process for taking a tracked issue from investigation through implementation, testing, and a merged pull request.

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 D, and why

Grove CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- **Never run a Grove entrypoint as root — it poisons the editable install, and uv's error never says so.** The `uv tool` venv and (editable install ⇒) the checkout's `src/grove/**/__pycache__` are user-owned; one root-r

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

- **A Grove workspace is a git worktree, so it sees only committed files.** Uncommitted working-tree edits never propagate into a worktree — commit shared config (e.g. `.mcp.json`, whose tokens are env refs, not literals

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **Never run a Grove entrypoint as root — it poisons the editable install, and uv's error never says so.** The `uv tool` venv and (editable install ⇒) the checkout's `src/grove/**/__pycache__` are user-owned; one root-r

Grove — Agent Guide

Grove lets you tend multiple git worktrees like branches in a forest: spin up, switch between, and tear down isolated coding sessions without losing your place. See README.md for the product brief.

Handling a handed-off issue (the autonomous workspace loop)

When you own a tracker issue end-to-end, drive it to a merged PR on this loop. Bias to action — never over-plan, over-spec, ask trivial questions, or invent fallbacks nobody requested.

  1. Read the issue, map the components, implement. Read the nearest owning CLAUDE.md(s) on the path you'll touch before editing.
  2. Keep the issue number OUT of the PR title and body. PR text and squash titles mirror to the public GitHub remote, where a bare #<n> resolves against a different tracker — so Fixes #<n> would both leak the private issue graph and auto-close nothing.
  3. Check the open PR for conflicts with the remote target and resolve them — rebase onto the freshly-fetched target, re-apply onto the current structure (don't clobber what landed meanwhile), re-run the gates, force-push.
  4. Reply on the issue naming the PR — that comment IS the linkage, since the PR carries none. Summarize the design decision, the components touched, and the gate results. Say plainly anything that did not work, anything left out, and any acceptance criterion that turned out to be unsatisfiable — a ticket whose own premise was wrong is the most valuable thing you can leave behind, and the next session cannot recover it from the diff. Close the issue by hand once the PR merges: an open ticket with a linked PR is honest, a closed one with unmerged work is not.
  5. After implementing, fold the durable insights into the nearest owning CLAUDE.md — the invariant, the trade-off, the reference you'd otherwise re-derive; never copyable snippets or restatements of code.

Parallelize — fan a fleet of sub-agents out over disjoint work per the parallel-agent pattern below.

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.

Grove CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bearlike/Grove (2 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,997 tokens to every session, about $0.0300 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, reads mcp configuration, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
