cafecito: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cafecito CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Cafecitohq/cafecito. It costs 902 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Cafecito, a system that coordinates code changes before they reach a shared main branch. They define its terminology, landing checks, package rules, commit requirements, and branch-synchronisation expectations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Follow them when developing Cafecito: preserve its standard-library-only package, run the required gates, sign commits off, keep decision history append-only, and finish with branches synchronised.
Why use it?
They reduce errors in collaborative development by making change handling, testing, commits, and repository state explicit.

This is Cafecitohq/cafecito's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cafecito 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 cafecito 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

cafecito 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 5d 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.

cafecito — conventions for Claude Code sessions

Vocabulary (SPEC.md §1.1 — enforced in code, docs, and commit messages)

Changesets land; collisions commute, regenerate, or escalate. "Merge" is reserved for git's textual mechanism (merge-tree, 3-way) and the market category ("merge queue"). No cafecito code path resolves a merge conflict.

Hard rules

  • cafecito/ package is stdlib-only — zero runtime dependencies is a feature. pytest is the user's gate command, never our import.
  • The landing gate gates every landing, clean textual merges included. Never weaken this; two red mains during development are why (see bench/README.md).
  • phase0/ is the frozen evidence base — add new experiments, never refactor old ones.
  • Commits: DCO sign-off (-s) required; append-only decision history in docs.

Versions & pushing (the four-heads invariant)

  • A session that touched main ends with all four heads identical — git rev-parse main cafecito/main origin/main origin/cafecito/main prints one sha four times — and the suite green, or states out loud why not. Local commits mid-session are fine; ending half-synced is the failure mode.
  • After committing directly to main: python3 -m cafecito.cli advance --repo ., then push both refs in one command — git push origin main cafecito/main. CI's plane-sync job goes red when a pushed main leaves cafecito/main trailing.
  • Tags are releases, not bookmarks. Pushing v* publishes to PyPI via trusted publishing, and PyPI never reuses a version — so never create a local-only v* tag. Release ritual: suite green → bump pyproject.toml AND cafecito/__init__.py (test_version.py pins them together) → commit, advance, four-heads check → push branches → tag vX.Y.Z → push the tag in the same breath → watch publish.yml, verify on pypi.org. Versioning is 0.MINOR.PATCH: minor for features, patch for fixes.

Commands

  • Tests: phase0/workdir/venv-test/bin/python -m pytest -q cafecito/tests
  • Engine smoke (live regen, needs claude CLI): python3 -m cafecito.tests.smoke --pytest-python phase0/workdir/venv-test/bin/python
  • Demo dry run: DEMO_DELAY=0 PYTEST_PY=$PWD/phase0/workdir/venv-test/bin/python ./examples/demo.sh

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.
