booklib: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

booklib CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from booklib-ai/booklib. It costs 315 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of booklib AGENTS.md, MIT.

Project instructions for BookLib, a JavaScript tool that gives coding assistants access to project knowledge and checks for missing context. They describe its structure, commands, tests, rules, and knowledge tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, or reviewing BookLib, including its command-line tools, MCP server, hooks, indexer, searcher, and bundled skills.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project-specific conventions needed to modify BookLib safely. This reduces the chance of breaking its tests, configuration handling, or knowledge lookup behavior.

This is booklib-ai/booklib's own configuration. It tells Claude Code 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 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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to booklib AGENTS.md — 1 line 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.

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)
  • Keep CLAUDE.md under 30 lines — point to skills for depth

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.
