CLAUDE.md

goldenpipe CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from benseverndev-oss/goldenpipe. It costs 2,353 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of goldenpipe copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

A project instruction file describing GoldenPipe, an orchestrator that chains data validation, transformation, and entity-matching projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding development in the Golden Suite repositories and documenting their relationships and working procedures. GoldenCheck validates data, GoldenFlow transforms it, and GoldenMatch resolves records that refer to the same entity.
Why use it?
It gives coding assistants shared rules for working across the related projects, including branch, merge, authentication, and environment practices.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is benseverndev-oss/goldenpipe's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on goldenpipe 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 goldenpipe configures →

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

goldenpipe 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 2mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to goldenpipe copilot-instructions.md — 27 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

GoldenPipe

Golden Suite orchestrator -- chains GoldenCheck, GoldenFlow, GoldenMatch.

  • GoldenCheck: D:\show_case\goldencheck -- Data validation. Has its own CLAUDE.md.
  • GoldenFlow: D:\show_case\goldenflow -- Data transformation. Has its own CLAUDE.md.
  • GoldenMatch: D:\show_case\goldenmatch -- Entity resolution. Has its own CLAUDE.md.
  • GitHub: benzsevern/goldenpipe, benzsevern/goldencheck, benzsevern/goldenflow, benzsevern/goldenmatch

Branch & Merge SOP (all Golden Suite repos)

  • Feature work goes on feature/<name> branches, never directly to main
  • Merge via squash merge PR (watchers see PR activity, history stays clean)
  • PR title format: feat: <description> or fix: <description>
  • Merge when: tests pass, docs updated. Days not weeks.
  • After merge: delete remote branch

Environment

  • Windows 11, bash shell (Git Bash)
  • Python 3.12 at C:\Users\bsevern\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe
  • Two GitHub accounts: benzsevern (personal) and benzsevern-mjh (work)
  • MUST gh auth switch --user benzsevern before push, switch back to benzsevern-mjh after

Architecture

  • goldenpipe/pipeline.py -- Pipeline class, run() function. ONLY file that imports from tools.
  • goldenpipe/decisions.py -- Adaptive logic (decide_flow, decide_match). NO tool imports. Testable independently.
  • goldenpipe/cli/main.py -- Typer CLI
  • Tools imported with try/except ImportError guards (HAS_CHECK, HAS_FLOW, HAS_MATCH)
  • Data flows as Polars DataFrames in memory between stages

Pipeline Flow

load_file -> GoldenCheck.scan_file(path) -> decide_flow(findings)
  -> if fixable: GoldenFlow.transform_df(df) -> updated df
  -> decide_match(findings, row_count, strategy_override)
  -> GoldenMatch.dedupe_df(df) or AgentSession.deduplicate(path)
  -> PipeResult

Testing

  • pytest --tb=short from project root
  • test_decisions.py: no tool deps, tests pure decision logic
  • test_pipeline.py: requires goldencheck, goldenflow, goldenmatch installed

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.
