agentdiff: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agentdiff CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from codeprakhar25/agentdiff. It costs 391 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project guide for agentdiff, a Rust and Python command-line tool that records which AI agent wrote which lines in a Git repository. It describes how events become signed attribution records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when capturing agent activity, preparing or finalizing attribution during commits, building the tool, or reading its reports and trace files.
Why use it?
It explains the tracking pipeline and its storage rules, helping changes preserve reliable authorship records.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions OpenCode.

This is codeprakhar25/agentdiff's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentdiff 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 agentdiff 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

agentdiff 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

agentdiff — Project Context for Claude

Project summary

agentdiff is a Rust + Python CLI that tracks which AI agent (claude-code, cursor, opencode, copilot, etc.) wrote which lines of code in a git repo. It hooks into agent tool callbacks, captures to session.jsonl, then on commit runs prepare-ledger.py → finalize-ledger.py to produce signed AgentTrace records in .git/agentdiff/traces/{branch}.jsonl.

Architecture

  • Capture: per-agent Python scripts (capture-claude.py, etc.) write raw events to .git/agentdiff/session.jsonl
  • Prepare (scripts/prepare-ledger.py): runs pre-commit, reads session.jsonl, computes per-file attribution using line overlap, writes pending_ledger.json
  • Finalize (scripts/finalize-ledger.py): runs post-commit, converts pending payload to signed AgentTrace, appends to traces/{branch}.jsonl
  • Store (src/store.rs): reads traces into Entry structs for list / report commands
  • Binary install path: ~/.local/bin/agentdiff (NOT ~/.cargo/bin/) — always cp target/release/agentdiff ~/.local/bin/agentdiff after build

Attribution invariants

  • copilot is in _EXCLUDED_AGENTS — captured in session.jsonl for stats, never wins file attribution
  • Files with no session evidence → agent = "human", must be explicit in attribution dict
  • agent = "human" in payload is the semantic token; git_author holds the display name
  • contributor.type = "human" iff file_agent == "human" — never infer from tool name
Changes

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.
