craft: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

craft CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Data-Wise/craft. It costs 1,409 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for the Craft plugin, covering its commands, skills, tests, documentation, and Git workflow. It defines how work moves between development, feature, and protected release branches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or releasing Craft, running its test suite, following branch rules, restoring work state, or using its commands and skills.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes such as coding on the wrong branch, committing directly to the protected main branch, or declaring work complete without the required tests and release steps.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is Data-Wise/craft's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on craft 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 craft 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

craft 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 12d 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.

Git Workflow

main (protected) ← PR only, never direct commits
  ↑
dev (integration) ← Plan here, branch from here
  ↑
feature/* (worktrees) ← All implementation work

Constraints

  • CRITICAL: Always start work from dev branch (git checkout dev)
  • Never commit directly to main
  • Never write feature code on dev
  • Always verify branch: git branch --show-current

Branch Protection

Branch Code Files .md Files Git Operations
main BLOCKED BLOCKED Commit/push BLOCKED
dev New: noted once (allowed), Existing: allowed ALLOWED Commit/push allowed
feature/* ALLOWED ALLOWED All allowed

Override local hook: ask "unprotect dev" / "bypass branch guard" (dev/git skill, Operation 10 — session-scoped, auto-expires).

GitHub-side: main is protected (PR only). Since 2026-09-23 dev has a deletion-only ruleset (protect-dev-from-deletion, id 23890849 — no push/PR/review rules, so commits to dev are still policed only by the local hook) and the repo auto-deletes merged head branches. The ruleset is load-bearing: release PRs use dev as head, and auto-delete removes an unprotected head branch on merge, so dropping it would delete dev at the next dev→main release.

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.
