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

immich-apple-silicon 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 5d 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.

Claude Code Instructions

Git workflow

  • NEVER touch main without Eric's explicit approval. No merging to main, no committing to main, no pushing to main. Work on branches only. When the branch is ready, say so and wait for Eric to tell you to merge and push.
  • Squash merge to main. One clean commit per release.
  • Version bump + CHANGELOG entry required for every push to main. Enforced by the version-bump CI job and tests/test_release_hygiene.py, not just convention: auto-tag publishes the CHANGELOG section verbatim as the release notes, so a missing bump ships silently and a missing heading makes the notes run on into every previous release.
  • Contributor PRs from forks are exempt from the bump. They merge unversioned and our own release PR carries the version and the changelog entry that credits them.
  • The release is fully automated. After a merge to main, do nothing but watch. auto-tag in ci.yml reads VERSION, creates and pushes vX.Y.Z, publishes that version's CHANGELOG section as the release notes, and triggers update-homebrew.yml, which builds the native ML bundle and menu-bar app, attaches them to the release, and pushes the formula and cask to epheterson/homebrew-immich-accelerator.
  • Never create or push a tag by hand, and never trigger the Homebrew workflow by hand. auto-tag skips when the tag already exists, and both its release step and its Homebrew trigger are gated on having created it. A manual tag therefore makes the whole release a silent no-op that still reports success. To recover: delete the tag (git push origin :refs/tags/vX.Y.Z, git tag -d vX.Y.Z) and re-run the auto-tag job.
  • Watch gh run list --workflow=ci.yml --branch=main, then the update-homebrew run. Do not hand-edit the tap. Verify on the Mac Mini once the tap has moved.

Code style

  • Python: type hints, f-strings, pathlib for paths.
  • Keep it simple. No abstractions for one-time operations.
  • The ffmpeg wrapper is bash. Keep it minimal, no unnecessary forks.

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.
