textbook-to-note CLAUDE.md

textbook-to-note CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from drpwchen/textbook-to-note. It costs 943 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for working on a textbook-to-note tool, including how to identify the intended audience and when to write a specification before coding. A specification is a written agreement about what a change should do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when setting up the tool, changing its behavior, deciding whether a full specification process is needed, or following its commit rules.
Why use it?
They reduce misunderstandings by requiring important behavior changes to be agreed on before implementation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

textbook-to-note 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — which audience are you?

This repo has two kinds of AI reader, and they need different files.

You are setting this tool up for a user (they said "read AGENTS.md and set this up") → read AGENTS.md. Nothing on this page applies to you.

You are changing this repo (fixing a bug, adding a behaviour, cutting a release) → read openspec/README.md first, then continue here.


Working on this repo

Spec before code

openspec/specs/ states what this tool does. When a request changes that:

  1. Write the delta spec first — openspec/changes/<name>/ (copy openspec/changes/TEMPLATE).
  2. Get the maintainer's line-by-line approval on it.
  3. Then implement.

When the requirement shifts mid-implementation, go back and change the delta spec before touching code again. A spec that gets updated after the fact is a changelog, and the whole point is to have the argument before the code exists rather than after.

openspec/specs/ itself is edited only by the archive step, never to describe work you are about to do.

How much ceremony — decide before you start

Not every change earns a full spec cycle. The test: if the agent misread the requirement, does one follow-up prompt fix it?

  • Yes → Tier 0. No spec. Commit with [no-spec]. Tests still have to be green.
  • No, but the scope is unambiguous → Tier 1. Half a page of delta spec, written as acceptance criteria (Given-When-Then, observable Then, thresholds as literal numbers).
  • Anything on the list below → Tier 2. Full cycle (proposal + delta + tasks), line-by-line maintainer approval, and one independent verifier pass after the implementation is done.

Tier 2 in this repo:

  • OCR routing — what sends a PDF down the Surya path, the silent-fitz-failure detection, --force-surya. It only exists in the --batch-dir path, and getting it wrong costs a user a multi-GB install and hours of runtime.
  • Table gating — every T2N_TABLE_* constant, figures/figure_qc_gate.py, figures/pregate.py, and the review-queue flagging. A gate that is too loose ships a misbound dose as clean citable data.
  • Release discipline — anything that changes what a released tag contains, or the CHANGELOG + tag flow itself.

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.
