pyo_oracle: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pyo_oracle CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from bio-oracle/pyo_oracle. It costs 803 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for pyo_oracle, a Python client that retrieves ocean and climate data from the Bio-ORACLE ERDDAP server. ERDDAP is a web service for finding and downloading scientific datasets; the file also describes the project layout, public functions, tests, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, documenting, or reviewing pyo_oracle, including layer listing, metadata lookup, data loading, downloading, and local-data management.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context needed to change the Python client without breaking its public interface or its matching R package.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is bio-oracle/pyo_oracle's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pyo_oracle 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 pyo_oracle 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

pyo_oracle 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.

Guidance for working in this repository.

What this is

pyo_oracle is the Python client for the Bio-ORACLE ERDDAP server (https://erddap.bio-oracle.org/erddap/). It is the Python counterpart of the R package biooracler and is built on top of erddapy.

Layout

  • pyo_oracle/__init__.py — public namespace; re-exports the API.
  • pyo_oracle/main.py — public functions: list_layers, info_layer, load_layer, download_layers, list_local_data.
  • pyo_oracle/utils.py — internals: _build_griddap_server (the single shared griddap setup path), _layer_info, _layer_dataframe, build_constraints, _as_bool, download helpers.
  • pyo_oracle/_config.py — configparser-based config (data dir, server URL, skip_confirmation). config.ini is generated and git-ignored.
  • tests/ — test_utils.py (offline), test_main.py (mostly live), test_config.py.
  • docs/ + mkdocs.yml — MkDocs Material site (mkdocstrings API ref).

Public API parity with biooracler

list_layers, info_layer, download_layers mirror the R package. Python adds load_layer (in-memory pandas/xarray) and build_constraints (friendly subsetting helper).

Dev environment

All development happens in the conda env named pyo_oracle:

conda env create -n pyo_oracle -f environment-dev.yaml   # or `mamba`
conda activate pyo_oracle
pip install -e ".[dev,xarray,docs]"

Tests

Two kinds, separated by the integration marker:

pytest -m "not integration"   # offline unit tests (fast, used in CI by default)
pytest                        # full suite incl. tests that hit the live server
pytest -m integration         # only the live-server tests

The exit goal for changes is a fully green pytest in the pyo_oracle env.

Lint & docs

ruff check pyo_oracle tests
mkdocs serve          # live preview
mkdocs build --strict # must pass (CI deploys to GitHub Pages)

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.
