dagster CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from dagster-io/dagster. It costs 1,210 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Development instructions for Dagster, a Python framework for building and running data workflows. They describe where packages live, how the repository is organized, and which checks to run after edits.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide Dagster Python, user-interface, documentation, and code-quality work, including the required lint check after Python changes.
Why use it?
They reduce mistakes caused by using the wrong package location, coding convention, or verification command.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

About the project

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

dagster 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 8d 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.

Dagster Development Guide

Quick References

  • Package Locations: .claude/python_packages.md - Comprehensive list of all Python packages and their filesystem paths. ALWAYS check this file first when looking for package locations.
  • Development Workflow: .claude/dev_workflow.md - Documentation of developer workflows in the Dagster OSS repo.
  • UI Workflow: .claude/ui_workflow.md - UI/TypeScript development workflows and verification commands. ALWAYS check after UI edits.
  • Coding Conventions: .claude/coding_conventions.md - Type annotations and code style conventions. ALWAYS check this before writing data structures - use @record instead of @dataclass.
  • CRITICAL: After ANY Python code changes, ALWAYS run just ruff - this is mandatory and must never be skipped.

just ruff                    # Format, lint, and autofix code - MANDATORY AFTER ANY CODE CHANGES
just ty                     # Type checking (slow first run)
just quick-ty               # Type check only changed files

# Testing

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.
