booklib: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

booklib AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from booklib-ai/booklib. It costs 298 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for BookLib, a JavaScript tool that helps coding assistants find missing project knowledge through MCP, a standard way for AI tools to call external capabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing BookLib, running its command-line tool or MCP server, working with its knowledge tools, or fixing bugs that need tests.
Why use it?
They explain the project structure, commands, tests, and rules so changes fit the existing tool and do not overwrite agent configuration files.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PreToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is booklib-ai/booklib's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on booklib 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 booklib 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

booklib AGENTS.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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

BookLib

Context engineering tool for AI coding assistants. Detects post-training knowledge gaps, resolves them via MCP.

Stack

JavaScript (Node.js >= 18, ES modules). No build step. No TypeScript.

Key Directories

  • bin/ — CLI (booklib.js) and MCP server (booklib-mcp.js)
  • lib/engine/ — core: indexer, searcher, gap-detector, context-map, registries
  • lib/wizard/ — booklib init interactive wizard
  • hooks/ — PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks for Claude Code
  • skills/ — 23 bundled skills (SKILL.md files)
  • tests/ — 767 tests via node:test

Commands

  • npm install — install deps
  • npm test — run all tests (must pass before committing)
  • npm link — link for local CLI testing
  • node bin/booklib.js <cmd> — run CLI from source

Rules

  • Always add a test when fixing a bug
  • Never write to CLAUDE.md or other agent config files from code — MCP handles discovery
  • MCP tools: lookup, review, remember, verify, guard (5 exposed, old names kept as aliases)

BookLib: knowledge tools for this project. Read skills/booklib-mcp-guide/SKILL.md before first use.

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.
