What is proletariat CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for Proletariat, a pnpm monorepo—a single repository containing multiple related packages and applications. They describe its layout, tools, coding patterns, and tests.

Use them when modifying Proletariat, especially its CLI, database, themes, documentation, or tests, and when verifying TypeScript builds.

They give an agent the repository context needed to use the right package manager, find code, and run the expected checks.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01409	$0.01409
Opus 5	$0.00705	$0.00705
Sonnet 5	$0.00282	$0.00282
Haiku 4.5	$0.00141	$0.00141

Security

Grade B, and why

proletariat 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 6d 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 the agent to reveal its instructionsmediumSystem prompt leakage

Directions to print, repeat or translate the system prompt extract configuration the operator did not intend to expose.

// 2. Handle JSON mode FIRST - output prompt config and return

Claude Code Context

Build & Package Manager

Use pnpm not npm

pnpm install        # Install dependencies
pnpm run build      # Build all packages
pnpm -r build       # Build recursively

Project Structure

This is a pnpm monorepo workspace:

apps/
  cli/              # Main CLI tool (prlt command)
    src/
      commands/     # oclif commands
      lib/          # Shared utilities
docs/               # Documentation
pmo/                # Project management office templates
scripts/            # Build and utility scripts
specs/              # Specification files

Key Patterns

Commands: Use oclif framework in apps/cli/src/commands/
Database: SQLite via better-sqlite3 in apps/cli/src/lib/database/
Themes: Optional agent naming themes in apps/cli/src/lib/themes.ts

Testing

pnpm test            # Run all tests (unit + e2e)
pnpm test:unit       # Run unit tests only
pnpm test:e2e        # Run e2e tests only
pnpm test:smoke      # Run smoke tests

Important: Always verify the build passes after modifying TypeScript files in apps/cli/:

cd apps/cli && pnpm build

Every bug fix PR MUST include a regression test that fails if the fix is reverted.

Every PR MUST include tests for changed code. No exceptions.

Write unit tests for new functions and modified logic
Write integration tests for new flows and command changes
Test files live in apps/cli/test/unit/ and apps/cli/test/e2e/
If you modify source code without adding or updating tests, your PR will be blocked

Command Code Rules

Never call process.exit() in command code — let oclif handle lifecycle (use return instead).

Provider Architecture

All ticket operations MUST go through the TicketProvider interface (src/lib/providers/types.ts). Never call PMO storage directly for ticket reads/writes.

Use resolveTicketProvider() or resolveProjectProvider() from src/lib/providers/resolver.ts to get the correct provider
Local PMO is just another provider (implements TicketProvider), not a cache or intermediary
Linear is the source of truth when configured — prlt reads and writes directly to Linear API
Never sync/mirror Linear data into PMO — they are parallel providers, not a pipeline

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.
