mutantx CLAUDE.md

mutantx CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Claritune/mutantx. It costs 628 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for MutantX, a tool that tests whether software tests can detect deliberately introduced code changes called mutants. It covers the project layout and the steps for finding, creating, checking, testing, and reporting mutants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining MutantX, including its skills, agents, Python scripts, and demonstration projects in Python or C++.
Why use it?
It separates the parts that need AI from repeatable testing and reporting scripts, making repeated mutation checks easier to run and review.

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

mutantx 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 3d 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.

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.

MutantX

AI-powered mutation testing for Claude Code. Language-agnostic.

Workflow

Commit after each change. Do not batch multiple changes into one commit.

Project Structure

src/skills/          — Distributable Claude Code skills
src/scripts/         — Deterministic Python scripts (zero tokens)
src/agents/          — Distributable Claude Code agents
demos/python/        — Python demo project with intentional test gaps
demos/cpp/           — C++ demo project with intentional test gaps

Architecture

Phases 1-2 (detect, generate) use AI. Phases 3-4 (test, report) are deterministic Python scripts that consume zero tokens. Once mutants are generated, repeated testing is free.

Phase Component AI?
Detect /mx-detect skill Yes
Generate /mx-generate skill Yes
Validate mx-validate.py + /mx-validate skill Deterministic + optional AI
Test mx-test.py script No
Report mx-report.py script + /mx-report skill Partial

Validation runs automatically before testing. If source files changed since generation, mutants are classified as valid, stale, or needs-review. The AI skill reviews ambiguous cases only.

Skills

Skill Purpose
/mutate Full mutation testing run (orchestrates all phases)
/mx-detect Phase 1: detect project language, test command, source files
/mx-generate Phase 2: generate mutant patches with per-file caching
/mx-validate Review mutants flagged as needs-review after file changes
/mx-test Phase 3: invokes mx-test.py
/mx-report Phase 4: invokes mx-report.py then adds AI analysis

Agent

mx-agent runs the full mutation testing cycle autonomously without user interaction.

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.

mutantx CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Claritune/mutantx (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 628 tokens to every session, about $0.0031 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
