hyperscript-tools CLAUDE.md

Repository-specific instructions for an AI coding agent working on hyperscript-tools, a project that helps agents understand _hyperscript code. It documents the project, commands, structure, and the rule that parsing must use _hyperscript’s own parser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing dependencies, building, testing, type-checking, and changing the hyperscript-tools MCP server. It also explains how the monorepo and its packages are organized.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project’s working rules and prevents unreliable code checks based on guesses or regular expressions.

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

hyperscript-tools 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 yesterday.

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

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this is

Tooling for original _hyperscript (hyperscript.org, from Big Sky Software). An npm-workspaces monorepo; the only package today is @hyperscript-tools/mcp-server — an MCP server that gives AI agents a parser-backed understanding of _hyperscript (validation, parsing, docs, editor assist).

The governing invariant: verdicts come from _hyperscript's own parser, not from regex approximations. Depend only on the canonical hyperscript.org npm package — never a fork.

Commands

Run from the repo root (npm workspaces fan out to each package):

npm install        # install all workspaces
npm run build      # build all packages
npm run test       # run all test suites (vitest run)
npm run typecheck  # tsc --noEmit across packages

Inside packages/mcp-server-hyperscript/:

npm run dev        # run the server from source via tsx (stdio transport)
npm run build      # bundle with tsup (ESM + .d.ts) to dist/
npm test           # vitest in watch mode
npm run test:run   # vitest single run
npm run typecheck  # tsc --noEmit

Run a single test file or by name (from the package dir):

npx vitest run src/__tests__/golden.test.ts
npx vitest run -t "validates correct hyperscript"

Node 20+ required (CI runs on Node 24). There is no lint step.

Architecture

Everything hangs off one seam and one invariant.

The loader is the only door to _hyperscript

src/hyperscript-loader.ts is the single place that touches the canonical library. All language knowledge flows through it; there is deliberately no second, hand-rolled grammar to drift from upstream. It exposes parse/safeParse/tokenize/registryProbe/hyperscriptVersion.

Two non-obvious things it handles:

  • Awkward import. hyperscript.org's exports map points the package root at the IIFE build, which exports nothing to an ESM importer in Node. The loader resolves the package, then imports the sibling _hyperscript.esm.js by absolute file URL.
  • Headless safety. It only ever calls parse/tokenize (which never execute hyperscript), and the library's DOM bootstrap is typeof document -guarded, so importing in bare Node touches no DOM.

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.
