ollama-code-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ollama-code-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from darthzen/ollama-code-mcp. It costs 831 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for routing coding work between a local Ollama model and a cloud Claude model. They describe which tasks can be delegated to local tools and which should stay with the main agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when deciding whether to generate boilerplate, write first-draft tests, review large files or diffs, apply repeated edits, or keep work in the main agent.
Why use it?
They help choose the right model for repetitive or large-file work without handing sensitive, security-related, or architecture-sensitive decisions to a weaker local model.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

ollama-code-mcp 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.

Routing guidance: local Ollama vs. cloud Claude

This project exposes coding tools backed by a local/LAN Ollama instance (Qwen3) via MCP. Use this file to decide when to delegate a task to those tools versus doing it yourself.

Delegate to ollama-code-mcp when the task is...

  • Mechanical or repetitive. Writing a first-draft test suite, generating boilerplate (CRUD handlers, DTOs, config parsing), or applying the same mechanical edit across many files (batch_refactor).
  • Context-window-heavy but low-ambiguity. Explaining an unfamiliar file, reviewing a large diff for obvious issues (code_review_diff), or reviewing/refactoring a big file you'd otherwise have to paste in full. Use file_path / diff_file / glob_pattern instead of pasting content so the file never enters your own context window.
  • A useful first pass before your own review. Run review_code or code_review_diff to surface candidate issues, then apply your own judgment to what it finds rather than trusting it blindly -- local models are meaningfully weaker than you at subtle correctness reasoning.
  • Not security- or architecture-sensitive. Straightforward fixes, explanations, and tests for code where being wrong is cheap to catch and correct.

Keep in the cloud (do it yourself) when the task is...

  • Architecturally significant -- API design, cross-module refactors that require holding the whole system in mind, anything where a subtly wrong answer is expensive to unwind.
  • Security-sensitive -- auth, crypto, permission checks, anything touching secrets or user data. Don't delegate generation or fixes here; you can delegate a review pass as a second opinion, but verify its findings yourself.
  • Ambiguous or under-specified. If the task needs clarifying questions or multi-turn negotiation with the user, handle it yourself -- the Ollama tools are single-shot, not conversational.
  • Small and fast. A one-line fix or a quick rename isn't worth a network round-trip to another host; just make the edit.
  • Already failing. If a tool call reports Ollama is unreachable, timed out, or the model isn't pulled, don't retry it -- handle the task yourself. Call ollama_status once to confirm before writing off local delegation for the rest of the session.

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.
