vibeyard: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

vibeyard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from elirantutia/vibeyard. It costs 8,815 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for Vibeyard, a desktop terminal application built with Electron. It explains how to build, run and test the app, which uses terminal sessions rendered in a desktop interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Vibeyard's Electron main process, preload layer, renderer, terminal sessions or cross-platform packaging. It covers Node.js requirements, Vitest tests and build commands.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project-specific commands, runtime requirements and architecture it needs before making changes. It also records the lack of hot reload and the need to rebuild and restart after edits.

About the project

Vibeyard is an IDE and project workspace for managing multiple AI coding-agent sessions, including parallel runs, split panes, task boards, cost tracking, and session resumption. It is for developers who use Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI and need to organize many agent-driven coding tasks. The catalogue add-ons provide commands, skills, and instructions for working with Vibeyard.

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

vibeyard CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

A terminal-centric IDE desktop app built on Electron that wraps CLI tool sessions. Users manage projects and sessions, each backed by a PTY running a CLI tool (currently Claude Code, with an abstraction layer for future providers like Copilot CLI and Gemini CLI), rendered via xterm.js.

Build & Run

npm run build    # Compile all three targets (main, preload, renderer) + copy assets
npm start        # Build then launch Electron app (alias: npm run dev)

No hot reload — changes require rebuild + app restart.

Requires Node v24 (see .nvmrc). No lint tooling is configured.

Cross-platform: builds and runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Release artifacts (via electron-builder) include .dmg/.zip (mac), .deb/.AppImage (linux), and NSIS installer + portable .exe (win). CI covers all three platforms.

Testing

npm test             # Run all tests once
npm run test:watch   # Watch mode (re-runs on file changes)
npm run test:coverage # Run with coverage report (terminal + HTML)

Uses Vitest with v8 coverage. Tests are co-located with source files as *.test.ts. Coverage HTML report outputs to coverage/index.html.

Test files are excluded from production builds via exclude in tsconfig.main.json and tsconfig.renderer.json.

Three renderer modules (session-cost.ts, session-activity.ts, session-context.ts) expose _resetForTesting() to clear module-level state between tests. Main process tests mock fs, child_process, node-pty, and os via vi.mock().

Architecture

Three-process Electron architecture with strict context isolation:

  • Main process (src/main/) — Node.js side: window creation, PTY lifecycle via node-pty, filesystem access, persistent state (~/.vibeyard/state.json). IPC handlers in ipc-handlers.ts dispatch to pty-manager.ts and store.ts. CLI tool behavior is abstracted via the provider system (src/main/providers/).
  • Preload (src/preload/preload.ts) — Secure bridge exposing window.vibeyard API via contextBridge with namespaces: pty, session, store, profiles, fs, provider, menu.
  • Renderer (src/renderer/) — Vanilla TypeScript DOM UI (no framework). AppState singleton in state.ts uses an event emitter pattern; components in components/ subscribe to state changes.

Changes

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.
