tidebreak: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tidebreak CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from brightwave-inc/tidebreak. It costs 1,143 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Tidebreak, a Rust workspace with a Tauri desktop application whose interface uses React and TypeScript. They define development, testing, dependency, branching, and GitHub rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing Tidebreak, preparing a pull request, working across parallel tasks, choosing tests, or changing the desktop interface.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project’s constraints so changes follow its workflow and avoid unsupported commands, unsafe merges, or mismatched dependencies.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is brightwave-inc/tidebreak's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tidebreak 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 tidebreak 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

tidebreak 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.

Working in Tidebreak

Guidance for coding agents. Humans start at CONTRIBUTING.md.

Tidebreak is a Cargo workspace of Rust crates plus a Tauri desktop app whose UI is React/TypeScript under crates/tidebreak-desktop/ui.

Hard rules

  • Do not use the bw CLI. Use this repository's Cargo, pnpm, and GitHub commands.
  • Branch off main; PR back into main. Never commit straight to main.
  • Commit or push only when asked. Do not merge unless the request was to merge.
  • For parallel-track work, claim the GitHub issue (assignee + in-progress) before the first edit. Interactive work the user is directing here does not need an issue.
  • Use GitHub REST (gh / gh api), not GraphQL. Shared agent sessions exhaust the GraphQL quota.
  • Pin every direct dependency to an exact version that already matches the lockfile. Dependabot is the upgrade path.
  • Add a test only if a failure would change what we do. Prefer contracts, easy-to-reverse decisions, bug reproductions, and end-to-end behavior.
  • Run a cheap relevant subset locally; let CI do the rest. A conflicting PR ran nothing — rebase before trusting green.
  • Enable auto-merge (gh pr merge <n> --squash --auto --delete-branch) so a ready PR lands when its lanes go green.
  • This is a public repository. No secrets, no private design docs.

GitHub tracking

The Tidebreak GitHub Project is the board. Milestones are delivery buckets. Parked product ideas stay in docs/deferred.md until a slice is buildable; do not copy that list onto the board.

  • Open an issue only for a bounded outcome with an owner. Do not file per-file or per-session tasks.
  • Multi-slice work uses an epic parent. Children are the slices, not the files inside them.

Desktop UI workflow

  • Read crates/tidebreak-desktop/ui/DESIGN.md before visual work. It defines the palette, type scale, status vocabulary, and the canonical patterns for settings, cards, approvals, empty states, and icons; src/stylesContract.test.ts enforces the mechanical rules, so arbitrary font sizes and raw Tailwind palette classes fail CI.
  • When adding or changing a reusable visual component or a meaningful UI state, add or update its Storybook story under crates/tidebreak-desktop/ui/src/stories/.
  • Show the states that matter for evaluation, including loading, empty, success, failure, and compact variants when they apply. Reuse the typed Storybook fixtures instead of duplicating ad hoc sample data.
  • Run scripts/storybook.sh while developing UI, and run pnpm --dir crates/tidebreak-desktop/ui storybook:build before publishing relevant UI 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.
