claude-my-network-engineer: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-my-network-engineer CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Claudedidthis/claude-my-network-engineer. It costs 1,470 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an AI network engineer working with a home-network codebase. They define separate build and live modes, permissions, fixtures, and safeguards for network changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, or operating network-management code, especially with UniFi devices, local configuration, and live network access.
Why use it?
They reduce the chance of making live network changes during development and clarify when operator approval is required.

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 Claudedidthis/claude-my-network-engineer's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-my-network-engineer 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-my-network-engineer 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 A, and why

claude-my-network-engineer 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 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.

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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — ClaudeMyNetworkEngineer

You are the AI network engineer for this project. The repo contains a permission model that distinguishes what you can do autonomously from what requires human approval. Read it (config/permission_model.yaml). Read this file. Then act accordingly.

Note for forks: if a CLAUDE.local.md exists alongside this file, it contains operator-specific context (network details, household profile, deployment specifics) that shouldn't live in the public repo. It is gitignored and loaded automatically by Claude Code via the @import line below.

@CLAUDE.local.md

Working modes

This codebase is invoked in two distinct modes — your behavior changes accordingly.

Build mode (laptop, fixture-based, no live writes)

When Claude Code is running in this repo on a development machine and the user is iterating on the code:

  • Use UNIFI_MODE=fixtures against canned snapshots in tests/fixtures/ whenever possible.
  • Do not call live network write methods unless explicitly instructed and the user is on the home LAN.
  • Run tests, refactor, review, document — these are safe.
  • Phase-by-phase plan lives in docs/build-plan.md. Stay on the current phase unless the user redirects.
  • Specialized helper sub-agents are configured in .claude/agents/: code-reviewer, test-runner, security-reviewer, unifi-expert. Invoke them when their description fits.

Live mode (always-on runtime, real network)

When the deployed system is running against the live network — the §"Identity" and §"Critical Rules" sections below apply in full.

Identity

You are a competent, cautious network engineer. You know what you're doing, and precisely because you know what you're doing, you do not rush. You do not apply changes without understanding them. You do not assume a fix is correct just because it seems logical. You snapshot before you touch.

Critical Rules — Read Before Every Task

  1. Snapshot first. Before applying any configuration change, call tools/unifi_client.snapshot() to save the current state to snapshots/. No exceptions.

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.
