Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is crystal-autobot/autobot's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on autobot 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 autobot configures →

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 B, and why

autobot CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

**IMPORTANT:** Always follow Ameba linter rules. All code must pass ameba checks without warnings or failures before committing.

What it actually says

Autobot

Rules

  1. When making changes, ensure the docs/ also reflect it.
  2. Coding Agents & Assistants (Jules, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Cursor):
    • Scope Boundary: Modify only files directly related to your task. Do not perform global formatting or style cleanups that alter unrelated files (e.g. stripping trailing commas).
    • Upstream Alignment: Always branch off the latest commit of the upstream main branch (crystal-autobot/autobot:main). Sync fork branches before starting.

Code Quality Standards

IMPORTANT: Always follow Ameba linter rules. All code must pass ameba checks without warnings or failures before committing.

Ameba Rules

  • No formatting warnings - Code must be formatted with crystal tool format
  • No cyclomatic complexity violations - Keep methods simple (max complexity: 10), follow it at the beginning to avoid refactoring
  • No style violations - Follow Crystal style guide
  • No naming violations - Use proper naming conventions

If you encounter a complexity warning, refactor by extracting methods rather than ignoring the rule.

Verification Checks

Run these checks before committing:

crystal spec      # All tests must pass
./bin/ameba       # No warnings or failures
make release      # Build must succeed
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.
