CLAUDE.md

claude-code-env CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from cexll/claude-code-env. It costs 1,772 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A project guide for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, in a Go command-line project. It documents the project, its commands, and how to build and test it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the Claude Code Environment Switcher: building the program, running all or selected tests, checking coverage, benchmarking, formatting, and running quality checks.
Why use it?
It gives the coding assistant the project context and the correct commands, reducing guesswork when changing or checking the code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is cexll/claude-code-env's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-code-env 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 claude-code-env 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 B, and why

claude-code-env CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 2mo 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Claude Code Environment Switcher (CCE) is a lightweight Go CLI tool that manages multiple Claude Code API endpoint configurations, allowing seamless switching between different environments (production, staging, custom API providers, etc.). The tool acts as a wrapper around Claude Code, injecting appropriate environment variables before launching.

Commands

Build and Test

# Build binary
make build              # or: go build -o cce .

# Run all tests
make test               # or: go test -v ./...

# Run specific test
go test -v -run TestValidateName ./...      # Run single test by name
go test -v -run "TestSecurity" ./...        # Run all security tests
go test -v -run "TestFlagPassthrough" ./...  # Run flag passthrough tests

# Test coverage
make test-coverage      # Generate HTML coverage report
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...    # Generate coverage profile

# Performance benchmarks
make bench              # or: go test -bench=. -benchmem ./...

# Code quality
make quality            # Runs fmt + vet + test
make fmt                # Format all Go files
make vet                # Run static analysis

# Security tests
make test-security      # or: go test -v -run TestSecurity ./...

# Clean build artifacts
make clean              # Remove cce binary and coverage files

Installation

# Install to system PATH
make install            # Builds and moves to /usr/local/bin/

# Development build
go build -o cce .       # Build binary in current directory

Architecture

The project uses a minimalist 4-file architecture following KISS principles:

Core Components

main.go (580+ lines)

  • CLI entry point and command routing
  • Two-phase argument parser for flag passthrough system
  • Model validation with configurable patterns
  • Environment validation (name, URL, API key)
  • Help text generation with flag passthrough examples

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.
