claudoro: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claudoro CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from emson/claudoro. It costs 2,720 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Claudoro, a Pomodoro timer that runs in the Claude Code terminal. A Pomodoro timer divides work into timed focus and break periods, while these instructions define the command-line tool, status display, alarm, architecture, and design decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the timer command, terminal status line, `/pomo` command, alarm, state handling, specifications, or architectural decisions.
Why use it?
They identify the command-line program as the single source of truth for timer state and explain rules such as deriving totals from history. This helps an agent preserve correct timing, restore, and undo behaviour.

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

claudoro 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 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Claudoro

A Pomodoro timer that lives inside the Claude Code terminal: a live, ticking countdown in the status line plus a render-decoupled end-of-block alarm. Open source, distributed as npm install -g claudoro with a thin Claude Code plugin wrapper.

Read first: specs/spec.md (architecture, modules, data model, acceptance tests) and specs/decisions.md (D-001..D-012, the authoritative rationale). The spec supersedes specs/charter.md where they disagree. When in doubt, the decisions log wins.

Core principle

The code must always be robust, flexible, and elegant.

One architectural truth underpins everything (D-001): the pomo CLI is the single source of truth. It owns all state, scheduling, and history. The status line, the /pomo command, and the alarm are thin surfaces over it. The CLI runs with zero model involvement, so the core feature never costs API tokens.

A second truth makes mutation safe (D-007): derive, do not store, aggregates. Counts, cycle position, focus minutes, and streaks are folded from immutable records on read. There are no mutable counters, so undo/restore are correct by construction.

How we write code

Functional-first, composition over cleverness. Favour small, pure, well-named functions composed into larger behaviour. Avoid complex code; if a function is hard to name or test, split it.

  • Pure core, impure edges. Keep logic (timer math, derivation, rendering, formatting) as pure functions of their inputs. Push side effects (file I/O, flock, spawn, clock, stdout) to a thin boundary layer. A function reads the clock once and passes now down; it does not call Date.now() deep in a fold.
  • Compose, don't branch-pile. Build a verb from discrete subfunctions (resolvePaths → readState → mutate → writeAtomic), not one long procedure. Prefer map/filter/reduce and data transformation over imperative mutation.
  • Data in, data out. Functions take plain values and return plain values. Immutable updates ({...state, run_state: 'paused'}), no in-place mutation of shared objects.
  • Total functions. Handle the empty/missing/corrupt case in the function, not at the call site. Missing state → idle; corrupt JSON → quarantine + reinit; never throw on the render path.
  • Explicit over implicit. No hidden globals, no ambient singletons. Dependencies (paths, clock, fs) are passed in, which also makes them trivially mockable in tests.
  • Small modules with one job, mirroring the spec's M1..M10. A file should fit in your head.

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.
