sabela CLAUDE.md

Repository guidance for Sabela, a web-based notebook where executable Haskell code is mixed with Markdown prose. It covers running, testing, linting, formatting, and frontend development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting Sabela, running its HSpec tests, checking Haskell with HLint, formatting Haskell or frontend files, or working on the web interface.
Why use it?
It puts the project’s build and quality checks in one place, so contributors know how to run changes and verify them.

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

sabela 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 3d 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.

Project Overview

Sabela is a reactive notebook environment for Haskell — a web-based IDE where users write executable Haskell code mixed with Markdown prose. Notebooks are stored as plain Markdown files. The name means "to respond" in Ndebele, reflecting its reactive execution model.

Commands

# Build and run
cabal run                                  # Starts server on localhost:3000
cabal run sabela -- 3000 .                  # sabela <port> <work-dir> [global-file] [extra-pkgs...]

# Tests
cabal test                                 # Runs HSpec test suite

# Lint and format
./scripts/lint.sh                          # HLint on src/, app/, test/
./scripts/lint.sh --fix                    # Auto-fix lint issues on edited files
./scripts/format.sh                        # fourmolu (Haskell) + prettier (frontend)
./scripts/format.sh --haskell-only         # Skip the prettier pass
./scripts/format.sh --frontend-only        # Only static/*.{html,js,mjs,css}
./scripts/format.sh --check                # Dry-run; non-zero exit on drift

Frontend (modular sources → bundled embeds)

The three served pages — static/index.html (the editor), static/dashboard.html, and static/slideshow.html — are generated build artifacts. The binary embeds them verbatim via Template Haskell (embedFile in Sabela.Server.Static), so the single executable still ships fully self-contained with no runtime asset fetches. Do not hand-edit those files; edit the sources and rebuild.

Layout

The editable sources live under static/src/<page>/:

static/src/index/
  index.html          # shell: <head>/<body> markup + ordered <link>/<script>/include refs
  css/*.css           # style partials, inlined in order (cascade preserved)
  js/*.js             # script partials, inlined in order (one shared global scope)
  html/icons.svg      # inline SVG icon sprite (an asset; inlined, not fetched)
  html/modals.html    # body markup fragment

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.

sabela CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository DataHaskell/sabela (114 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,366 tokens to every session, about $0.0118 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
