archdiagram: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

archdiagram CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from bharathgnana/archdiagram. It costs 445 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a live review link between Cursor, a code editor, and Claude Code, a terminal-based coding agent. The reviewer leaves suggestion files that the agent must check and acknowledge while working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent follows a plan that a Cursor reviewer may update. The agent checks suggestion files, follows open directives, and records acknowledgements or blockers.
Why use it?
It gives a reviewer a way to steer an agent between chat steps without interrupting its current terminal session, while keeping the instructions in files.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is bharathgnana/archdiagram's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on archdiagram 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 archdiagram 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 B, and why

archdiagram CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository.

Cursor↔Claude live-review bridge

A reviewer running in Cursor watches the executing agent (Claude, in the terminal) and steers it without interrupting the chat, via bridge files. This convention works in every repo (a user-scope hook activates it automatically).

  • Bridge files are named suggestions_*.md — e.g. plans/suggestions_NN_<slug>.md beside a plan, or a top-level suggestions_<topic>.md. The Cursor reviewer owns them (creates / rewrites / erases). The executor never deletes a reviewer's directives.
  • Claude polls the relevant suggestions_*.md before starting a task and after every task/checkbox.
  • ## Open Directives (- [ ]) are binding. On conflict with the plan/spec body, the directive wins (the reviewer has fresher context).
  • Claude acknowledges under ## Claude Acknowledgements, ticking - [ ]- [x] and referencing the code/tests that close each one. Blockers are surfaced there.
  • Automated — no manual nudge. A user-scope Stop hook (~/.claude/hooks/suggestions_watch.py, wired in ~/.claude/settings.json) runs at the end of every turn: if a suggestions_*.md changed and still has unchecked directives, it blocks the stop and re-injects them. It baselines on first sight, guards against loops, and fails open. Hooks load at session start, so restart an in-flight session (or run /hooks) if the bridge does not fire.
  • When you are the Cursor reviewer: write suggestions_*.md with a ## Open Directives list of short, testable - [ ] items plus a ## Claude Acknowledgements heading, and reference the bridge file from the plan/spec.
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.
