In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build all packages, run or filter tests, start development mode, check formatting and linting, or work on the documentation site.
Why use it?
It makes the correct commands and package locations clear when working across the repository.

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

This is BrainDAO/adk-ts's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on adk-ts 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 adk-ts 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

adk-ts 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.

Project Overview

ADK-TS is the TypeScript-native AI agent framework — a comprehensive toolkit for building sophisticated AI agents with multi-LLM support, advanced tools, and flexible conversation flows. This is a monorepo containing the core framework package, documentation site, examples, and CLI tools.

Development Commands

Core Commands

  • pnpm install - Install all dependencies across the monorepo
  • pnpm build - Build all packages using Turbo (with 50 concurrency)
  • pnpm dev - Start development mode for all apps
  • pnpm test - Run tests (use pnpm test --filter=adk for core package only)
  • pnpm format - Format code using Biome
  • pnpm lint - Run linting using lint-staged

Package-Specific Commands

  • pnpm build:docs - Build documentation site only
  • pnpm start:docs - Start docs site in production mode
  • Core package tests: cd packages/adk && pnpm test or pnpm test:watch for watch mode
  • Single test: cd packages/adk && pnpm test -- <test-pattern>

Cleanup Commands

  • pnpm clean - Clean all build outputs via Turbo
  • pnpm clean-modules - Remove all node_modules directories
  • pnpm clean-dist - Remove all dist directories

Architecture

Monorepo Structure

  • packages/adk/ - Core ADK-TS framework package (@iqai/adk) // ...existing code...
  • packages/tsconfig/ - Shared TypeScript configurations
  • apps/docs/ - Documentation website (Next.js + Fumadocs)
  • apps/examples/ - Comprehensive example implementations
  • packages/adk-cli/ - Official CLI for creating and managing ADK-TS projects.

Core Framework Components

The main framework in packages/adk/src/ is organized into:

Agents (src/agents/)

  • AgentBuilder - Fluent API for creating agents with different types
  • LlmAgent - Single LLM-based agent
  • LoopAgent - Agent that can iterate and plan
  • ParallelAgent - Execute multiple agents concurrently
  • SequentialAgent - Execute agents in sequence
  • LangGraphAgent - Graph-based workflow agent

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.
