reactuse: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

reactuse CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from childrentime/reactuse. It costs 2,515 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Unlicense.

Repository guidance for ReactUse, a collection of reusable React hooks, which are functions that add behavior to React components. It covers the Astro website, tests, and the files that generate API documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing dependencies, running lint and tests, changing a hook’s interface, regenerating its documentation, and working on the project’s AI-agent files.
Why use it?
It prevents source changes from leaving the published API tables or website documentation out of date.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is childrentime/reactuse's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on reactuse 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 reactuse configures →

About the project

ReactUse is a TypeScript library of reusable React Hooks for browser APIs, state, sensors, animations, and DOM interactions. React developers use it when building React applications that need these common behaviors. The catalogue skills and commands help coding agents discover or work with ReactUse hooks.

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

reactuse CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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.

ReactUse - Project Guidelines

Project Overview

ReactUse is a collection of React hooks (@reactuses/core). The website is built with Astro (packages/website-astro).

Development

pnpm install      # install dependencies
pnpm lint         # eslint
pnpm test         # jest, via @reactuses/core

Generated API docs

packages/website-astro/api/{hook}-README{,-zhHans,-zhHant}.md are generated from each hook's interface.ts by pnpm --filter @reactuses/core gend. The Astro site splices them into every doc page at the %%API%% marker (src/plugins/remark-api-inject.mjs), and packages/mcp reads them too.

If you change an interface.ts, re-run gend and commit the result. The remark plugin drops the marker silently when a file is missing or stale, so the published API table just keeps showing the old signature with no build error.

AI Agent System (.claude/)

This repo carries a small, Chromium-inspired AI agent system under .claude/ — sized for a hooks library, not a 35M-line codebase. Map: .claude/README.md.

Engineering workflow (apply to any hook/code task):

  1. Understand first. Read the real source of the files you'll touch — and at least one similar existing hook — before writing. Don't infer behavior from names.
  2. Build, reusing what exists. This codebase has a shared util layer and strong conventions; reuse before writing. Browser APIs must be SSR-safe.
  3. Test. Jest, co-located index.spec.ts (pnpm --filter @reactuses/core test <name>).
  4. Verify. pnpm lint + tests green. Stay on task — no unrelated drive-by edits.

Where to look:

  • .claude/knowledge-base.md — task → file/utility router. Start here; it tells you which existing code already solves your task.
  • .claude/ai-policy.md — you own every line you ship; understand it before review.
  • Skills (auto-activate): new-hook, hook-test, hook-docs, pr-description.
  • Commands: /new-hook, /pre-pr, /pr-desc.

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.
