canopy: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

canopy CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from coralogix/canopy. It costs 885 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project-instructions document describing Canopy, a system for creating agent applications from workspaces, Markdown files, and runtime settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as guidance when working on Canopy's infrastructure, templates, command-line tools, or documentation.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project background, architecture, repository layout, and writing rules they need to make consistent changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

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

canopy 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.

CLAUDE.md

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

Project Overview

Canopy is infrastructure for building agent-native applications with pluggable runtimes. The core abstraction is the Workspace — an isolated directory-based workspace that defines an agent's behavior, memory, and capabilities through .md files and runtime configuration.

How it works: Developers author a template folder (CLAUDE.md, skills, agents, tool configs). Canopy infra provisions a Workspace directory for every user from that template, handles triggers (scheduler, chat, webhooks), and spawns isolated runtime instances per user. The runtime returns results as stdout; Canopy captures and routes the output. Claude Code is the default runtime; any coding agent can be configured via CANOPY_RUNTIME.

Philosophy: Documents are database. Skills are functions. The LLM is the CPU. Code is only for I/O.

Doc purpose: These docs are an implementation spec — copy this folder into your project, point Claude at it, and it can build the entire Canopy platform for your agent.

Status: Documentation + templates + CLI (cli/). 90+ tests, CI via GitHub Actions, PyPI-ready packaging.

Repository Structure

  • specs/01-architecture.md through specs/07-adoption-guide.md — Framework specification docs
  • templates/ — Starter templates (CLAUDE.md.template, skill.md.template, tool-config.md.template, settings.json.template, workspace-structure.md, version.json)
  • examples/ — Example agent templates (codebase-navigator, release-pilot, daily-standup)
  • cli/ — Developer CLI for managing workspaces (create, run, connect, delete)

Core Architecture

Configurable Runtime: Every Workspace is a directory. Canopy spawns a runtime process against that directory per trigger. The runtime handles context loading, skills, agents, MCP tools, memory, hooks, and sandboxing. No custom runtime code. Runtime is configurable via CANOPY_RUNTIME (default: claude-code) — see specs/06-runtime.md.

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.
