What is dashmotion CLAUDE.md?

Repository-specific instructions for AI agents and developers working on the Dashmotion project. They point to the project's documentation and describe release checks, verification tools, and local testing requirements.

Use them when editing Dashmotion, preparing a release, running its tests, checking generated diagrams, or inspecting dependency structure.

They keep work aligned with the repository's existing rules instead of relying on assumptions. They also identify the checks used to judge generated diagrams and releases.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00752	$0.00752
Opus 5.5	$0.00301	$0.00301
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00150	$0.00150

Security

Grade A, and why

dashmotion 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 — dashmotion

Operational notes for AI agents (and humans) editing this repo. What dashmotion does and how the generation works live in the README and docs/how-it-works.md — this file does not repeat them.

Mars's cross-project working philosophy (verification discipline, authorization boundaries, how to sink learnings) lives in the global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and is not duplicated here. Instructions there and in chat override this file. This file is a prose layer — it points at the real mechanisms; it does not enforce anything. When a convention changes, change the mechanism first, then the pointer here.

Mechanisms — follow the mechanism, don't paraphrase its details

Release gate. Before tagging any version, both must hold: test/run_checks.py green over the b1–b4 + m1–m7 fixtures (structure + per-case asserts + Mermaid fidelity), and a fresh medium-effort bianque-class diagram (30+ nodes) generating ≤ 8 min end-to-end. test/ is gitignored — runner and fixtures are local-only.
Verification authority. A generated diagram is judged by the skill's bundled skills/dashmotion/scripts/check_diagram.py (structure: overlaps, connectors through boxes, broken loops, out-of-viewBox) and check_fidelity.py (Mermaid labels, verbatim) — this is SKILL.md Step 6. Never verify by eyeballing or a browser screenshot: label paraphrase is invisible to the eye and silently shipped reworded labels before check_fidelity.py was mechanized. eval/ holds the committed eval harness.
Timing. Always benchmark at medium / default effort, never xhigh — the effort setting alone moves latency ~3.4× and will corrupt any perf conclusion. ≤8 min is an absolute, model-agnostic UX target.

Repo conventions — non-obvious, has bitten

What ships ≠ the repo. npx skills add and the release zip ship only skills/dashmotion/. README, CHANGELOG, docs/, eval/ stay in the repo and never reach an installed user — so doc-only changes need no release.
Gitignored by design: research/ (decision maps — write strategy/decision docs here, not committed) and test/ (fixtures + runner). Don't try to commit them.
Two remotes: origin = GitHub (csthink/dashmotion), gitee = Gitee. Tags, releases and the zip go to both. Don't merge to main or tag a release without Mars's explicit go-ahead.
Versioning rubric is in the CHANGELOG header: the dividing line is the user-facing capability surface (new input / output mode / refinement = minor) vs. generator internals (perf, workflow, layout, fixes = patch).
Distribution & updates: users install/upgrade via npx skills (-g for global) or the release zip; no client auto-notifies updates. Decision detail in the gitignored research/distribution-and-updates.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.
