Archive-Suite: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Archive-Suite CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from charlesapetersen/Archive-Suite. It costs 9,908 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-wide guide for a single code repository containing three native macOS archive apps: one for capturing and organizing material, one for finding and reading it, and one for taking notes from archival PDFs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working anywhere in the Archive Suite repository, especially when making changes that affect multiple apps, following project conventions, or preparing a release.
Why use it?
It gives developers shared rules for changing and releasing the apps, while directing them to the more specific guide for each app. It also defines how to handle requests such as the project's recurring report walkthrough.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is charlesapetersen/Archive-Suite's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Archive-Suite 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 Archive-Suite configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/cp1/Claude/Agent.

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

Archive-Suite 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 413 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Archive Suite — Umbrella Project Guide

Three native macOS apps in one monorepo: Archive Processor (capture · OCR · tag), Archive Reader (find · read · triage), and Archive Notes (provenance‑first note‑taking from archival sources). This file is the umbrella guide — repo‑wide conventions, the shared contract, and the release process. Each app's own CLAUDE.md stays authoritative for that app; read it before working inside a subdirectory:

🛑 THE DAEMON REPORT IS A WALKTHROUGH, NOT A DOCUMENT — read this before answering any request for it

Trigger phrases: "daemon report", "the report", "morning review" (the old name), "anything for me?", "anything I need to decide?", "what needs my eye?", "walk me through it". Any of these means run the walkthrough below. This section exists because sessions kept getting it wrong in the same two ways, and the owner had to correct it every time.

What the owner wants, exactly: to be walked through each open decision, ONE AT A TIME, waiting for his answer before moving to the next. It is a conversation he steers. That is the whole deliverable.

❌ Do NOT do any of these — each one has actually happened and is a failure, not a variation:

  • ❌ Do not write a new entry into the plan. Being asked for the report is not a cue to author one. Nothing is added to any doc during the walkthrough.
  • ❌ Do not let the account of the work replace the decisions. The full account of the work comes first (~/Claude/CLAUDE.md step 3, owner 2026-10-15: detailed, read from the commit bodies), then the decisions one at a time. A recap with no decisions walked is not a report.
  • ❌ Do not batch the decisions into one message with a numbered list and a single "what do you think?". One decision per message. Stop. Wait.
  • ❌ Do not re-raise settled items. Anything under a ### ✅ … walkthrough heading, or in SUITE_TODO.md → "⛔ DECLINED — settled, do NOT re-raise", is closed. Reopening it wastes his time.
  • ❌ Do not present non-decisions as decisions. "Worth your eye, nothing blocking" is a mention, not a step. Fold those into one short block at the end, after the real decisions are done.

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.
