redline CLAUDE.md

redline CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from btn0s/redline. It costs 1,754 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Redline, a local tool for reviewing Markdown files in a Google-Docs-style commenting interface. It is designed mainly for reviewing plans and specifications written by AI systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the Markdown review tool, changing its CLI or web interface, working with comment threads and document anchoring, and keeping its development structure consistent.
Why use it?
They explain the project’s command-line, server, shared-handler, and React interface structure, helping changes land in the right area. They also document conventions for the editor and its comments.

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

redline 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 3d 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 Claude / coding agents working on this repo.

What this is

@btn0s/redline — a local-first review tool for markdown files. Spin it up on a .md file (npx @btn0s/redline ./plan.md), get a Google-Docs-style commenting UI on the rendered markdown, and copy all threads back out as structured text to feed back into an LLM.

The intended primary use case is reviewing LLM-generated plans/specs.

Layout

cli/                Node CLI (entry: cli/index.ts → cli/server.ts)
plugins/            Vite dev plugin that mounts the same /api/file handlers
shared/             API handler helpers shared between dev plugin and CLI
src/                React + Vite SPA (the review UI)
  components/         App components (review-header, comment-sidebar, editor, dialogs, etc.)
    ui/               shadcn-ish primitives (don't hand-edit unless necessary)
  contexts/           CommentContext, ShortcutSchemeContext, ThemeProvider
  extensions/         Tiptap extensions (CommentMark, CommentShortcuts)
  hooks/              useFile, useComments, useEditorCommentSync, useCommentSidebarLayout, ...
  lib/                Pure utilities (comment-anchoring, format-shortcut, mod-key, utils)
  types/              Shared TS types (Comment)
  index.css           Theme tokens + .tiptap document styles + redline annotation styles
scripts/build-cli.js  esbuild bundle for the CLI
skills/redline/       Agent skill shipped with the package
docs/specs/           Design specs / plans (sometimes referenced from prompts)

The dev experience and the production CLI talk to the same /api/file contract. Keep plugins/review-md-dev-api.ts and cli/server.ts in sync, and prefer pushing logic into shared/api-handlers.ts so both code paths get it for free.

Commands

pnpm dev          # vite dev server (set REVIEW_MD_FILE=path/to/foo.md in .env.local for the dev API)
pnpm build        # tsc -b && vite build && bundle CLI into dist/cli/index.js
pnpm typecheck    # tsc -b
pnpm lint         # eslint .
pnpm format       # prettier --write **/*.{ts,tsx}
pnpm redline      # build + run dist/cli/index.js (smoke-test the published binary)

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.
