cueapi-cli: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cueapi-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from cueapi/cueapi-cli. It costs 622 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for changing and releasing the cueapi codebases. It defines which coding agent handles each step, including pull requests, automated checks, staging, and production releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing cueapi, cueapi-core, or cueapi-python to follow their pull-request process, run the right checks, and hand work between coding and testing agents.
Why use it?
It prevents direct changes to the main code and makes every change pass the required checks before it is merged or released.

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

This is cueapi/cueapi-cli's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cueapi-cli 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 cueapi-cli 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

cueapi-cli 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 Code Rules

Who Does What

Claude Code - writes code, opens PRs, merges when CI passes, deploys to staging and frontend sites Argus - tests staging, promotes to production, cuts PyPI release tags, tests docs and blog accuracy

PR Process - Non-Negotiable

Every change must go through a PR. No direct pushes to main under any circumstances. PRs are the permanent audit trail of every change made to this codebase. Claude Code opens PRs and merges them once CI passes. No human reviewer required. CI must pass before merging - no exceptions. Never bypass branch protection or force merge. Never merge a failing CI check - fix the root cause first.

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.
