In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to follow the project's task lifecycle, run its tests and lint checks, find tickets, and apply repository-specific safety requirements.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents and developers one place to learn how the repository is organized and how work should proceed.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PreCompact hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is ccevans/bobbycode's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on bobbycode 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 bobbycode 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 C, and why

bobbycode CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- `rm -rf` or `rm -r` on directories outside the ticket's scope

bobbycode — Bobby Workflow

This file was generated by bobby init. It tells Claude Code how to work with your project using Bobby's structured workflow.

Project

  • Name: bobbycode
  • Stack: generic
  • Tickets: .bobby/tickets/

Health Checks

Before starting work, verify the dev environment is running:

  • No health checks configured. Add them to .bobbyrc.yml.

Feature Areas

targets | dashboard | audit | tickets | packs | templates | cli

Commands

  • Test: npm test
  • Lint: npm run lint

Workflow

Bobby uses a ticket-based workflow with frontmatter-based stages:

backlog → planning → building → reviewing → testing → shipping → done

Tickets live in .bobby/tickets/ — stage is tracked in ticket.md frontmatter. Blocked tickets have blocked: true in frontmatter with a reason.

Safety Rules

<safety_rules> All agents must follow these rules. Violations are treated as critical failures.

Never run destructive commands:

  • rm -rf or rm -r on directories outside the ticket's scope
  • DROP TABLE, DROP DATABASE, TRUNCATE or any destructive SQL
  • git push --force or git push -f (use --force-with-lease if rebase is needed)
  • git reset --hard (use git stash or git checkout -- <file> for targeted reverts)
  • git clean -fd or git clean -fx
  • docker system prune, docker volume rm
  • kill -9 on unknown processes
  • chmod -R 777 or chown -R on system directories
  • Any command with sudo unless the plan explicitly requires it

Never modify outside your scope:

  • Do not edit files unrelated to the current ticket
  • Do not change CI/CD configuration unless the ticket explicitly requires it
  • Do not modify environment files (.env, credentials, secrets)
  • Do not install global packages or change system-level config

Always verify before acting:

  • Run git diff --stat before committing to review what changed
  • Run tests before marking work complete
  • Check git status after every commit to confirm clean state </safety_rules>

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.
