nimbus CLAUDE.md

nimbus CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from cloudflare/nimbus. It costs 3,540 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Nimbus, a documentation-site framework built with Astro. They explain its user-editable starter files, shared plumbing package, optional registry components, deployment model, and folder layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Nimbus, its starter project, the nimbus-docs package, registry additions, or Cloudflare and other static deployment setups.
Why use it?
They help contributors understand which parts belong to the user’s site, which are framework internals, and where new components or utilities should go.

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

nimbus 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 4d 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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nimbus — agent context

Read this first if you're an AI agent picking up work on the Nimbus codebase. Sister file CLAUDE.md mirrors this content — keep them in sync.

What this project is

Nimbus builds documentation sites on Astro. The architecture splits into three tiers:

  • User-owned starter files — visible UI components, layouts, and styling. Copied into the user's repo by create-nimbus-docs and edited freely from then on.
  • nimbus-docs npm package — invisible plumbing (data helpers, validation, integration wiring, behavior primitives). Imported, not forked.
  • Registry — optional components, utilities, and agent-handoff features installed on demand via nimbus-docs add <slug>.

Cloudflare is a first-class deploy target (the scaffolder defaults to it and ships wrangler.jsonc), but the framework is deploy-target agnostic — static output runs anywhere.

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.
