videre: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

videre CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from erhangundogan/videre. It costs 1,200 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository-specific instructions for videre, a Rust command-line tool that manages a local media library using one SQLite database. It supports finding duplicates, searching by meaning, and recognizing faces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing videre, running its builds and tests, changing commands or shared logic, or updating the user documentation that describes changed behavior.
Why use it?
They help an agent understand how the project is organized and how to investigate changes before modifying shared behavior or documentation.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is erhangundogan/videre's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on videre itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything videre configures →

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

videre 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 23d 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 — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

videre

A fast Rust CLI for managing a local media library: duplicate detection, semantic search, and face recognition, all around a single SQLite database.

User-facing documentation lives at https://docs.videre.sh, generated from docs/. This file is for contributing to videre. When you change behaviour, update the relevant page under docs/src/content/docs/ in the same commit.

Working here

  • Look before you change shared code. Search the code, tests and docs for every caller first. The same thing implemented twice is the worst outcome: extend the existing helper instead.
  • Test first when fixing a bug. Write the test, run it, watch it fail.
  • Verify before claiming done. Run the commands below and read their output.
  • Fixtures look like real libraries: non-ASCII and Turkish names (Özgür, Işıl, Gökçe), not Alice and Bob.
  • New settings go in config.toml (videre config set), never a new environment variable.
  • Dependencies take patch releases only (~x.y.z), so cargo install gets fixes but never a new minor version. A prerelease (ort) and our own crates are pinned exactly (=), since a prerelease range accepts every later rc. To move one, change it in every crate that uses it, then cargo update -p <name>. Nothing pins the dependencies of our dependencies, so the Unlocked build workflow deletes Cargo.lock and checks the binary, on every change and daily. When it fails and everything else passes, a dependency's new release has broken cargo install videre: users can still cargo install videre --locked, and the fix is to pin the crate that broke and release.
  • Every operation leaves the library consistent on its own. A command or gallery action that changes a file or a row also invalidates everything derived from it (rows, embeddings, thumbnails) before it returns.
  • Getting a change in. Stage files by name, never git add -A. Open a PR against main; checks must be green. Keep the PR description short and put the reasoning in commit messages. A PR does not bump versions or edit CHANGELOG.md; releases do that.

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.
